Flack + Kurtz Chooses Autodesk Building Systems
The London office of one of the industry's premier building services engineering firms, Flack + Kurtz, has become one of first UK customers to invest in Autodesk Building Systems 2005.
"It takes operating efficiency and productivity to a new level, by enabling us to identify and resolve potential conflicts at design stage rather than on-site, so eliminating costly reworking and delays." With Building Systems 2005, Autodesk enhances the efficiency of the engineering design process, by improving how design information is created, managed and shared.
"As the only truly integrated object-oriented application created specifically for mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers, Autodesk Building Systems 2005 enables faster, more accurate analysis and design," says Mark Ellis, corporate account manager, construction and building services, Autodesk.
"The result is better building performance and sustainable, or 'green' design." Faber Maunsell's early experience with Building Systems 2005 has been very positive, with designers finding the software easy both to learn and use.
In a recent retail project the co-ordination time which would typically have taken take around two weeks has been cut to just two days.
"This is a major step forward for us," says Parkinson.
"Put simply, we know we are going to get it right first time." "Building Systems 2005 provides the tools required for companies like Faber Maunsell to turn 2D floor plans into engineering models that extract dimensional information and store analysis results" explains Ellis.
"The outcome is better information, enabling the design team to produce higher quality designs.
And, as the analysis data becomes part of the model, designers can access that information whenever they need it and so make more informed design decisions. Request a free brochure from Autodesk ...
A truly intelligent solution.".
