Trammell Crow Company’s teams are dedicated to building value for its clients with professionals in 26 major cities throughout the United States and Europe. 

Trammell Crow Company

Trammell Crow Company (TCC), founded in 1948, is a global commercial real estate developer having developed or acquired nearly 2,900 buildings valued at $75 billion and over 655 million square feet

Giraffe was rolled out to all of TCC’s offices in the U.S. Having Giraffe accessible to TCC’s development team will save weeks of work across hundreds of projects a year.

Trammell Crow Company (TCC), a global real estate developer, engaged Giraffe to save their development teams valuable time when assessing dozens of sites for potential development.
‍
“We were in need of a tool set that gave our team an edge when exploring new development opportunities, especially since we would often review dozens of sites at a time to find the best option. By implementing Giraffe, our team was able to move at a faster speed when analyzing opportunities – our ability to assess a site went from weeks to hours with virtually no consultant involvement. Having this time back is incredibly valuable to our team and our business.” – Andrew Wallace, Senior Development Manager, TCC

After a six-month pilot program, Giraffe was rolled out to all of TCC’s offices in the U.S. The system is used to save TCC’s team valuable time and as a powerful communication device, bringing visual clarity to the firm’s pursuit process and stopping ideas from getting lost in
translation.

While Giraffe has unlocked significant success at TCC, this could only have been made possible by TCC’s appetite for continuous innovation. Having Giraffe accessible to TCC’s development team will save weeks of work across hundreds of projects a year, which translates into several years worth of development time in a single year.

OIS is Scaling Rapidly to Target New Commercial and Residential Projects in the Growing Southwest
Offsite Integrated Structures (OIS) is at the forefront of leveraging light gauge steel panels on major commercial and residential construction projects. Their products can rapidly reduce project schedules through the efficiency of design-build and offsite manufacturing in their state-of-the-art factories. Therefore, it’s no surprise that with surging demand in OIS’s target market, Southwestern United States, they have expanded production to western markets. Both their Denver, CO factory and Phoenix, AZ factory will cater to major commercial and residential projects in Denver, Austin, and Phoenix with expansion plans for California.

As the population in OIS’s target market is rapidly growing, there is a increasing need for new construction and a pressure to complete these projects quickly. As OIS scales their production to keep up with demand, they have enlisted the help of Offsight to manage their process across multiple factories and to aid in managing the complexities and stick quality standard for their major commercial and residential projects.

Reducing Rework and Increasing Efficiency with Multi-Trade Layout

Dusty Robotics' FieldPrinter automates the transfer of BIM/CAD drawings to construction-site floors with guaranteed accuracy in a fraction of the time it takes to do traditional layout. The FieldPrinter eliminates delays and minimizes rework by using coordinated models to print multiple CAD layers in a single pass, compressing schedules and enabling all trades to build off of the latest drawings. And, with multiple color and line style options, Dusty's FieldPrinter ensures the complete file is printed, giving clear instructions to the field team.
Guaranteed accuracy to the digital model gives builders confidence that what has been designed is what is being built

TBI Hazenberg Bouw

Hazenberg developed Vredeoord in collaboration with Sint Trudo: a special neighborhood with about 250 homes. 

Problem:

Collecting and classifying the data from the  different subcontractors was one of the challenges for  Hazenberg Bouw. Importing and converting files in different  formats was even a bigger one: bringing .IFC files to  Navisworks or Solibri resulted in loss of data and details.  Merging different Revit models (creating federated models) and model coordination (making sure all project  participants have the latest version) was another issue  they wanted to address. A coherent, integrated  workflow with their already existing Common Data  Envronment was high priority as well to improve communication during the design and pre-construction  stage. Another issue mentioned by Hazenberg Bouw was  synchronizing files from Autodesk BIM 360 to Navisworks  and Solibri - every time a new update was available, the files  had to be manually synced.  

Solution:
 
Verifi3D by Xinaps was the perfect choice for  Hazenberg Bouw’s needs as it optimizes and automates  model checking. Offered as a cloud-based SaaS, Verifi3D  allows classifying building design data, conducting  automated checks in compliance with regulations and  reporting issues real-time, all in one platform. 


Advantages Verifi3D

The building construction industry is currently undergoing a major shift globally, as it is starting to massively digitalize and standardize its design and engineering processes. A significant part of the classification and checking of building models is still performed manually, costing a lot of time, effort and is prone to error. Verifi3D bridges the gap between the design and the construction stage by automating the manual checking tasks and enhancing the quality of BIM data. 

With Verifi3D, a cloud based ( model checking solution, it's our ambition to become the spell checker of every BIM model in the building construction industry. Verifi3D offers seamless integration with CDEs such as Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk BIM 360, and issue trackers such as BIM Track, BIMcollab and Autodesk BIM 360 Issues. All your favourite tools integrated in one place!

House 00 is a retreat, a sanctuary of the self, and an architectural response to shifting sociality in a post-Covid-19 world. Envisioned as a prototype for living in isolation away from urban density, House 00 is an attempt at rebooting the basic conditions of domesticity, serenity, and intimacy.

Sitting at the highest point in the United Arab Emirates, on the soaring peaks of Jebel Jais northeast of Ras-Al Khaimah, House 00 boasts the critical balance of being simultaneously in nature yet out of reach. Quality of air, breath-taking views and exceptional Dunite rock landscapes make for a perfect location for a unique house.

On the inside, the 2000 SQM contemporary design borrows from traditional elements of local residential architecture, featuring all the amenities for a comfortable and healthy life, as well as the social and cultural necessities of the Emirati family. On the outside, the sculptural limestone and glass façade blends seamlessly into the surroundings, looking pristine yet man-made; monolithic yet architectonic at the same time.

The house is organized into two parts embracing an inner courtyard. Spaces are split between east and west wings based on their respective uses and expected visitors.

As the pandemic malaise drags across the big city, House 00 offers more than life in solitude. It sets forth a unique restart for sharpening both the soul and the senses.

This project shows how a Design and Build firm leveraged Snaptrude to speed up their design workflow and win more clients. 3D Models for 26 unique homes, comprising one, two and three-bedroom layouts, were created and shared as a unique URL with clients. Clients can review the designs, navigate between saved views and share feedback from their mobile devices. Architects would then customize the design for them, incorporating their feedback. Since Snaptrude automatically calculates built areas and material take-offs, the architects presented accurate project costing at each iteration required by the client. The automation capabilities of Snaptrude gave the design team a whopping 8x productivity improvement over traditional workflows, enabling them to close contracts quickly and win more projects.
