Information is the lifeblood of Design and Construction projects. Prior to using Newforma Project Center, project team members would often depend on legacy FTP sites to share critical drawings and documents but would often run into limitations or obstacles that can jeopardize the project. Learn how Architecture and Engineering firms utilize Newforma Project Center’s InfoExchange to streamline information transfer and mitigate risk with detailed audit trails.

Just as continuous improvement is a critical organization, adaptation to technology has become essential for today’s AEC firms. However, adoption is one of the biggest challenges when implementing new technology. Learn how firms are maximizing the value of Newforma Project Center by developing training programs for increased user adoption.

Sheppard Robson

Sheppard Robson, an architecture practice based in London, has been a Newforma customer for five years. Simon Johns, IT Director, says that Newforma Project Center helped them easily search through 12 terabytes of email information.

Granum A/I

Granum A/I, an architecture and interior design practice, has been a Newforma customer for more than 4 years. Matthew Peters, an architect with the firm, says that one project stood out as the fulcrum of acknowledging the value that Newforma software added to the firm.

IBI Group

Before Newforma software, IBI Group had an inconsistent filing method, which was problematic if a document needed found quickly. "Newforma allowed us to search for documents and find them, whether you were the person who filed it or not or whether you were copied on it or not," Virginia "Vee" Baker, Project Coordinator at IBI, said. After Newforma, the IBI team had a single view into project documents and a full picture of what was going on with customers.

Derry LTD

Derry LTD, a BIM Level 2 Certified company, wanted team members on a project job site to have the correct models and information, anywhere, anytime. "Newforma Document Control is the most important feature in Newforma," Mark Silcock, BIM Manager at Derry LTD, says. Now, the firm has a central location in which architects and consultants can manage, access and view current and prior versions of documents.

Nelson

Nelson, a global architecture, design and consulting firm, needed a PIM (Project Information Management) solution to index and organize all the firm's scattered data. "Nobody knew how to find information when they needed it," Matt Davidson, Infrastructure Project Director at Neslon, said. Newforma software streamlined the administrative process for the firm so that project teams could track action items and what needed accomplished when.

Corgan

Before using Newforma Project Center, Corgan, a leading architecture firm, used a variety of manual project information management techniques. Now, the firm can organize projects, provide clear direction and understanding of project information, RFIs and submittals. Chad Speas, Practice Technology Manager / Architect at Corgan, says, "Newforma Project Center is the central source of truth for all of our data."

Rob Partington & Partners

At London's 1 New Street Square, architects describe how Newforma software liberates them from mundane chores of email management and information searches. "What do you do when you don’t have the problem of filing emails? You find yourself other, more interesting problems that you then resolve.”

A conversation with Rob Partington - Teaser

Hilson Moran

Technical Director NIGEL CLARK describes the motivations for implementing project information management software, the two-step training that’s driven successful take-up, and the results.

BDP

The people of BDP tell how streamlined email management is saving time and money for the firm. Finding one critical email saved the company hundreds of thousands of pounds! “Everything is searchable and retrievable.”

SampsonHaugh

At London’s Battersea Power Station, SimpsonHaugh team members describe why they chose the Newforma platform to manage that project’s terabytes of information. “Newforma helps me by just giving more time to actually do the things I want to do: to spend with other people, to spend looking at problems, to spend talking about the practice and talking about architecture.”

Hilson Moran

“The volume of email we get is so vast, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack,” says Hilson Moran Director Vince Ugarow. “As soon as Newforma was implemented, that changed everything.”

Hilson Moran

“We can collaborate overseas instantaneously,” says Dave Lee, head of the BIM department. “We have zero duplication of any information, so we know you’re looking at the latest drawings, you’re looking at the latest schedules, and who’s working on it at any one time. It’s been an absolute game changer for us.”

LMN

Slash data entry time.  Avoid rework.

Put project data at your fingertips, wherever you’re working.

“Onsite, it’s really important to stay in tune with the current dialog.”

“It doesn’t matter if you sent out a revised sheet yesterday. You’ve got it now.”

“I’ve got an entire, up-to-date set of documents in my hand.”

Stantec

The people of Stantec’s Boston office describe how they’re using Newforma software to design, document, and build projects faster. Designer/Manager Rachel Swartz says that with less time spent on administration, “I’m able to move that time to other items that need to be taken care of.”

LMN

“In the past, answering an RFI could take as much as a week.”

Stantec

Stantec Designer/Manager Rachel Swartz describes how Newforma software removes conflicts and confusion in communications with the contractor. “I can easily, within minutes, get the latest drawings over to a consultant.”

BDP

“It’s important because it manages risk – financial risk and design risk. The risk associated with the way we manage has diminished significantly. Life became easier.”

Stantec

Jill Rothenberg-Simmons, Stantec principal and business center managing leader, describes how people who were not intimately involved with a project can quickly find specific information years after it was captured and filed using Newforma products. “We can avoid litigation entirely.”

BDP

BDP uses Newforma project information management software to ensure easy access to current drawings. “Someone who’s not an experienced user of the program should be able to find what they’re looking for quite easily.”

BDP

At BDP, “Nobody has to wonder where things are and what the file structure is.” Newforma software is “that one port of call for all information on a project, whether it be drawings, schedules, quality management information, or compliance.

Stantec

Stantec managers describe how information flows from Revit design software in the office to the Newforma Plans app on iPads at the job site. Principal Jill Rothenberg-Simmons says, “We can reference RFIs, we can reference submittals, we can reference our complete document set, including the specification, right there in the field. That has made a big improvement.”

LMN

Information Technology Director Tim Rice says LMN needs to manage 200 times more project data than 10 years ago. Tim Rice and Project Architect Steve Delfraino, Project Architect Jeffrey Floor, and Project Architect Michael Peterson describe how they are managing the project information firehose.

Hilson Moran

Hilson Moran teams use Newforma software to meet demanding schedules. “Something that would have taken us five, six days – and we probably wouldn’t have gotten it right the first time! – now takes a couple of hours, and we know it’s exactly right and it’s checked on site by the guys who need it.”

Hilson Moran

“Most of our work is repeat business,” says Hilson Moran Technical Director Nigel Clarke. “My main goal is to keep our reputation for quality; that frankly wins us a lot of our work.”
