Navisworks

As a BIM Engineer, we did the modeling of metro stations, substations. Navisworks helps us to combine all the models i.e architecture, structure, electrical together for collaboration and do thorough clash detection at the early stage of our design so that we can remove the clashes by combining all the models and design a clash-free model.

I have used Navisworks to look at electrical drawings and to further clarify the location of specific lights during a project. Our company is a lighting vendor so I have used Navisworks to communicate with our contractors to clarify where our product is to be placed within the building. I find it incredibly useful especially when there has been confusion in the past about lighting placement and what is required.

Navisworks is being used across the whole organization. It helps our numerous teams for clash detection purposes in BIM services. We can easily navigate through the 3D model and look out for any problem in the building model. Also, we can run clash detection in almost any category of elements and resolve the issues that might affect while actually constructing a building. It has whole lot of options to play with 3D models and finalize a building design and its MEPF services.

Naviswork is usually used throughout all design offices within all departments. It helps engineers bring all Revit models together and figure the LOD and the intensity of clashes at the final stages. It is mainly used to determine the interdepartmental clashes that occur throughout the design stage and aims to mitigate these clashes, it also helps to navigate the compiled Revit models.

We use [Navisworks] on our operations teams to design, coordinate, and execute work in the field. It minimizes rework.

We use Navisworks in our VDC department for all visual 3d coordination needs. We also use Navisworks to create supplemental visuals to accompany RFI's and other submissions as needed to support other divisions within the company making their jobs easier. A Visual goes a long way to help explain the issue at hand.

Navisworks is used for MEP/BIM coordination on commercial construction processes. It is used to pull in the different 3D computer-generated models from the design team, consultants, and subcontractors to coordinate the MEP routing through the building. We have been experimenting as a company with some 4D modeling and logistics planning with Navisworks as well.

We use Navisworks in our building information modeling department, largely it is used for coordinating our mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire trades prior to the building being built. This allows us to prefabricate a lot of the things we do that otherwise would have to be measured and built after the structure is up. This streamlines our construction schedule and reduces costs from re-work since we have routes figured out prior to install so we don't have to worry about redoing something when things don't fit. It also is used by our self perform concrete department to plan concrete lift drawings, concrete estimates and embed layouts. This has made things significantly easier for our self perform crews and has greatly reduced the amount of mistakes that are made.

My current company uses Navisworks for ongoing construction mainly for clash detection and timeline. It is also used in pre- construction as a selling point for the company.

We use it for coordination in both design and construction phase. We are using it in our department and manage the coordination process on multiple projects with large project teams. The business case is that it is accepted as standard by the industry so it is easy to get people on board.

We use it in teams to do service coordination and model verification.

It's used across the whole organization. It's used by operations for clash detection and in some rare cases, it's used in estimating for quantification and project understanding.

For Clash Detection and model visualization, it solves for integrating multiple different stakeholders into one platform where conflicts can be identified. The Virtual Construction Department are heavy users of the software. However, many non-VDC people are using Navis to get a grasp on what a project really looks like.

Arden Building Companies is Design/Build MEP/FP Firm. We use Navisworks to coordinate Designs, communicate with clients and perform Clash Detection for our Construction Projects. We use this software across all four of our companies. There is no better way to explore a building virtually than with Navisworks. It is such a powerful program that reads so many different file types. It is the ultimate collaboration tool in the AEC Industry.

We use Navisworks Manage in our BIM department at Ludvik Electric. We also use Navisworks Freedom with our construction teams in the company. Navisworks Manage allows us to group all the other trades models and create clash detection against them. It shows us exactly where our issues are and with what other trades. Navisworks Freedom gives the rest of our team the ability to fly through the 3D model and look at everything that has been currently modeled.
