When the architectural firm Alessandro Ripellino decided to take the step to BIM planning, in order to meet changing purchaser requirements, it was important to have a user-friendly platform and to be able to deliver high-quality projects in a short time.
Alessandro Ripellino develops cities and creates buildings. The more complex the situation, the more benefit the architects can add. Their latest projects include SEB Arenastaden, Hagastaden, Odde and Liljeholmskajen. As well as creating good and functional architecture, a number of parameters have to be observed, for example purchaser requirements that now increasingly require delivery in BIM format.
"Today, all projects are done in Revit. As we work together on different projects and have to help each other when necessary, everyone needs to have a high level of competence and work in the same way.” Nanna Thelander, Architect SAR/MSA and CAD/IT Coordinator at Alessandro Ripellino Arkitekter

Advanced BIM modeling made it possible to construct a 65.000/117.000 m2 commercial building complex, the Statoil building at Fornebu, Norway, in only 20 months on site.
Thanks to BIM 360 Field, the whole building site is being digitised and not just the drawing and the model. All the work that so far has been done around the computer screen in the ‘building shed’ is now being moved out to the building site.
