Walbridge provided design build services for a new switchyard and transmission lines at General Motors’ plant in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. This project scope consisted of a new CFE Switchyard, including the procurement of 230 kV materials and equipment for (5) bays in the CFE yard. Also included are all protections, controls, communications, SAT, set-up, start-up, and testing/commissioning. Walbridge also installed new CFE transmission lines to deliver power to the new CFE Switchyard, including towers, grounding system, conductors, fiber optics, and high voltage cables. All existing CFE substations were upgraded for the new CFE / GM connection. In addition, the scope included the installation of (2) complete bays and all associated civil, mechanical and electrical equipment in the switchyard, including (2) three-phase main power transformers – 30/40/50 MVA, 230 kV, controls, communications, testing and commissioning.

Cercula helped Beattie Passive on the first volumetric Passive House scheme. Cercula calculated that the housing development at Ferry Road would save 8,880 tonnes of carbon – with 85% less whole life carbon (33 tonnes vs 218 tonnes per home) compared to a traditional build –  equivalent to 20,640 barrels of oil.

Arkio allows SPINN to almost instantly prototype designs into 3D models and to gather their team from different locations around the same model in VR.

About SPINN Arkitekter
SPINN is a Norwegian architecture firm specializing in public buildings, with a focus on schools, culture and some healthcare. We have 3 offices in Oslo, Tromsø and Stavanger and are total of 28 people at the moment.

During the pandemic we purchased VR headsets for all our employees. The Quest 2 had a functionality and price point that made more sense to invest in devices that people could have at home instead of dedicated VR machines that would be standing in an empty office. Throughout 2021 and 2022 we used VR for our Monday meetings, and experimented on ways to include it in our design workflow. We quickly found our way to Arkio and it has become one of our most used XR apps at the office.

Coastal Construction's team of eight estimators spend about 50% of their time manually tracing, clicking and dragging lines on a set of plans to perform a takeoff. With Togal.AI, Coastal saved 14.5 hours per plan set with the use of automated takeoff, automated naming, sharing, uploading, and collaboration features. They averaged 10 bids per month. 

That's 1,160 hours per month, or
13,920 hours per year!

Bringing a total first year savings of 
~$1 MILLION!

Eyal Ofer’s new Columbus Circle Building at 1841 Broadway has become first project in New York City, US, to use the AI construction platform Buildots.

After site data is captured via helmet-mounted 360-degree cameras and is automatically analysed using proprietary AI algorithms, Buildots provides the project management team with true-to-life progress reports supported by visuals. This is said to lead to improved efficiency in terms of costs, labour and time.

The 26-story, 298-ft.-tall building will include nearly 197,000 sq. ft. of residential space encompassing 123 housing units, as well as over 20,000 sq. ft. of commercial retail space. Its developer is Global Holdings Management Group.

New York project utilises ‘revolutionary’ AI technology

Construction needed to continuously see through walls and up buildings. It needed data that was intelligent, predictive, conclusive, and connected. Advanced AI and integrations that eliminate errors, delays and extremely expensive mistakes. It needed technology that could bring peace of mind to everyone involved.

And so Buildots was born.

In only three years, we went from three passionate co-founders to over 200 employees spanning two continents, connecting everyone through the same vision: Connection makes everything better, everyone stronger and pushes the industry forward.

Introduction
Target Value Design (TVD), the process of designing towards a budget without sacrificing quality or extending schedules, is increasingly popular with owners. TVD works when everyone involved in a project is part of the process. It requires true collaboration, transparency, rapid estimating, and rapid decision-making.

Atrium Health, a non-profit health organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina, employed TVD to build a new rehabilitation hospital and acute care bed tower at the Atrium Carolinas Medical Center (CMC) campus. Atrium awarded the $650M project to DPR Rodgers (a joint venture between DPR Construction and Rodgers Builders), NBBJ, and WSP. To manage the projects, Stantec was selected to augment Atrium’s in-house staff.

Preconstruction planning for the two projects was handled separately. The team tackled the $100M rehab hospital first. From March to December 2020, approximately 30 people from multiple cluster groups collaborated towards the goal. They used their existing tools to track their project costs, budget, and timelines as they had done with other projects in the past.

“Tracking decisions for the rehabilitation hospital quickly became chaotic,” said Melanie Moreschi, Preconstruction Manager for DPR Rodgers. “Due to having so many users in the same tracking log, it was too easy for files to be overwritten, causing new items to be lost or even to have two copies of the same file running simultaneously. Furthermore, it was challenging to track items affecting multiple building systems such as structure, skin, mechanical and electrical into separate project clusters.”

DPR Rodgers had to ensure that the TVD process was smoother for the CMC bed tower project. They had to find an alternative — and fast.

How DPR Rodgers Successfully Navigated Target Value Design for Atrium Health

The Paradise Street Project, more commonly known as Liverpool ONE, was a 250,000 sqm regeneration project in Liverpool City Centre. Managed by Grosvenor Europe, the development is comprised of: over 200 shops, more than 500 apartments, three hotels, 25 restaurants, a 14-screen Odeon cinema, three office buildings, a Green Flag awarded five-acre public park, 2,000 car parking spaces and a public transport interchange.

Regarded by many as the most successful regeneration project of the modern era in the UK, Liverpool ONE was initially sold as providing “world-class shopping, leisure and living at the heart of a world-class city”. The site of the £920 million project covered six districts in the city center, including Hanover Street, Peter’s Lane, New Manesty’s Lane, Paradise Street and South John Street.

The development of Liverpool ONE was considerate of the city’s history, integrating historical architecture with modern buildings. As such, it is an internationally recognized model for other cities that want to deliver sympathetic regeneration projects. It is widely credited with reviving the wider city-region and fueling growth in business tourism.
