A New Level of Collaboration

Revizto truly became a full single source of information solution during COVID

Matter is a boutique Melbourne-based structural engineering consultancy with recently opened offices in Adelaide. 
The rapidly growing business embraces new technologies to deliver a higher level of collaboration and coordination on projects within the BIM space.

Before implementing Revizto, Matter faced multiple obstacles commonly seen within the construction industry. Drew Thomson, the BIM and Innovation Manager at Matter, shared how Revizto helped his team achieve the results they were looking for.

COVID-19 disrupted traditional workflow mechanisms by causing an unprecedented work-from-home wave. Many companies were looking for fresh solutions to stay competitive in the evolving market. Drew was recommended to have 
a look at Revizto while looking for such a solution.

Revizto+ is a complete game changer for clash detection. 
It’s actually intuitive and enjoyable to use. A whole lot less clunky, cumbersome, and crash-prone than other software with the speed of model federation and clash, saving our company time and money.

Challenge

• Document and model reviews going through multiple channels were hard to track and sometimes missed.
• Traditional clash detection software workflows were quite time-consuming, and a higher level of expertise was required to use such software.
• Tracking and closing out changes throughout the design development were difficult to manage and communicate to the necessary parties.

Solution

• Revizto took all the information out of chats, emails, and paper markups and brought it into 
a single source of information.
• Revizto’s new clash detection automation and model federation have reduced clash detection and reporting to a few clicks once set up properly.
• Tracking and closing changes throughout design development insured all issues were closed out. Reporting was possible at the tender and construction stages.

Drew wanted to share three tips that he found especially useful in Revizto:

Stamps

Once a model or drawing is exported to Revizto, you add a stamp and assign the resulting issue to the first reviewer. Stamps are invaluable for issue creation and tracking.

Dashboards

A dashboard is a tool for viewing aggregated project issue data as charts. A dashboard can contain several charts. Revizto dashboards and reporting functions are a great way to help towards internal QA.

Download

The download option for the field function is a quick and easy way to access your full drawing sets and models on-site when offline.

After trailing Revizto, I was able to develop a workflow for our whole consultancy that enabled us to internally collaborate, review, and track model and documentation issues while also fulfilling requirements towards our ISO1960 certification. Revizto truly became a full single source of information as we all went into remote work.

Revizto’s functionality extends far beyond specific use cases. The software can be implemented throughout the entire spectrum of all projects, assisting thoroughly in the successful development of their entire lifecycle.

Matter uses Revizto on every project in their office as part of their digital workflows. They run Revizto on anything from new school buildings to high-rise hotels with federated architectural and service models. It is a total in-house consultancy solution towards a paperless office.

The most important aspect of a successful project is the seamless communication of various teams utilizing a common platform that encompasses all necessary features.

Revizto helps Drew’s team overcome the disconnect between the team modeling a project and the team reviewing it. Keeping a single source of truth is transformative for the way they traditionally work.
