For the $577M Victorian Heart Hospital and $515M Thomas Embling Hospital projects in Victoria, Australia, John Holland used Revizto to improve collaboration, automate clash detection, and keep projects on track by minimizing design conflicts and rework.
The Victorian Heart Hospital
John Holland first adopted Revizto on the Victorian Heart Hospital project, Australia’s first dedicated cardiac hospital. Initially used to give site teams early access to models, Revizto became essential as the project advanced. It provided as-built models and PointCloud surveys, ensuring accurate and reliable data was always available.
The Thomas Embling Hospital
Building on this success, Revizto was introduced during the Design Development phase of the Thomas Embling Hospital project, which consists of an addition of 82 secure mental health beds, offices, and a multi-deck car park. Early use of the platform helped John Holland identify clashes, manage design coordination, and streamline project execution.
Common Challenges Before Using Revizto
Before adopting Revizto, projects faced several obstacles:
Clash Detection Delays
Limited transparency and lack of detailed status reports made it difficult to identify and resolve issues early, leading to costly setbacks.
Disjointed Systems
Managing data across multiple platforms and relying on manual exports created inefficiencies and inconsistencies.
Coordination Complexity
Without a centralized system, teams couldn’t overlay information during design and shop drawing reviews, making it difficult to identify coordination issues early.
Before implementing Revizto, we faced significant challenges in visualizing issues ahead of time, and effectively overlaying information from various sources. Revizto helped us overcome these challenges by providing a unified platform for collaboration.
How Revizto Solved These Challenges
Revizto solved these problems by providing a single platform for all project data and models, updated in real time:
Centralized Data
A single source of truth for both graphical and non-graphical data, accessible to all teams, reduced miscommunication and eliminated fragmented workflows.
Automated Clash Detection
Each discipline uploaded its Revit models, with clashes reviewed fortnightly to resolve issues before they caused delays.
Improved Coordination
Site engineers, subcontractors, and consultants worked together in one platform, improving communication.
Revizto opened up the work of our trades and consultants, making the information they put together accessible to the site team. This enhanced collaboration and improved workflow efficiency.
Key Benefits & Results So Far
By integrating Revizto across all project stages, John Holland achieved significant improvements in coordination and cost management.
Although the Thomas Embling Hospital project is ongoing, early results show that Revizto has helped maintain project schedules and improve team coordination, reinforcing its value for complex, large-scale healthcare projects.
Revizto helped us quantify issues in terms of cost. On one multi-staged project, we prevented the same issue from happening in later stages. By accurately coordinating service placements, we avoided rework on joinery and FFE items.
Lessons for Other Teams
John Holland offers these tips for teams considering Revizto:
Involve Everyone
Make sure all relevant teams, including non-BIM roles, trades, the client, and design consultants, are actively involved throughout the project to maximize the platform’s potential.
Capture & Use Data
The more detailed your data, the more effective the tool becomes. The data can then be used by various teams, including quantity surveyors, for better decision-making.
Set Clear Processes Early
Define workflows and assign responsibilities upfront to avoid miscommunication and delays.
Revizto helped us establish clear workflows and rules of engagement from the start, improving coordination and minimizing conflicts. The status and resolution of coordination issues were then shared with the management team to keep the project aligned.
Final Thoughts
Revizto has become a key partner in John Holland’s approach to managing complex projects. By improving coordination and giving teams better visibility of potential issues, the platform has saved time, reduced risks, and cut costs. For teams handling large-scale, multidisciplinary projects, Revizto offers a practical and proven solution.
