Strengthening the proposal foundation for diverse operations through BIM deployment.

An architect from the Ito Toyo Office talks about the power of BIM (Archicad). Completing 150 drawings alone and accelerating client consensus through VR.

We would like to introduce the Archicad implementation case of "Maeda Kentaro Architectural Design Office," which is based in Tokyo and Niigata and handles a wide range of projects from residential buildings to public architecture such as train stations and schools. The representative, Mr. Maeda, was previously engaged in complex and famous architectural projects at Ito Toyo Architectural Design Office. After becoming independent, he introduced Archicad to foster early development of young staff and improve productivity. Since the implementation, the staff has achieved an astonishing efficiency that was impossible with conventional CAD, completing 150 detailed design drawings in just six months with one staff member. ■ Three Benefits of BIM Ensuring Consistency: By extracting drawings from a 3D model, discrepancies between plans and elevations are resolved, eliminating rework. Enhancing Proposal Power: Utilizing VR allows clients to intuitively understand kitchen sizes and sunlight, facilitating smoother consensus building. Stabilizing Management: Efficiently managing public projects (passive) and private projects (active) with BIM to achieve strategic management. What are the latest design methods of Mr. Maeda, who states that "BIM is an indispensable presence like air conditioning," looking ahead to the use of AI? *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
