Using Revit® Architecture software, Architectus
consistently delivers intelligent architectural
solutions, notable for their simplicity and
performance. By extending its Autodesk
investment with building information modeling
(BIM), the company is realizing immediate
competitive advantage by optimizing the design
and documentation process and capitalizing on
intelligent 3D design. The firm exceeds client
expectations by delivering more complete
documents and higher-quality designs. Sta and
project productivity is maximized through better
coordination and integration of project documents.
A multiaward-winning practice, Architectus is an
international professional services company with
more than 200 leading architects, urban designers,
and planners, with oces in Auckland, Brisbane,
Melbourne, Shanghai, and Sydney. Their experience
spans many project typologies, including urban
design and planning, public, commercial, residential,

Synchrotron building.
With a strong reputation for project delivery,
Architectus sought to streamline the design
and documentation process in a bid to further
enhance its services. The company adopted
Revit® Architecture software as the key platform
underpinning its building information modeling
approach to project delivery. Today, Architectus

The Solution
Greater Productivity
Since adopting Revit Architecture software,
Architectus has transformed the way it creates,
amends, and delivers designs. The company now
has the ability to design throughout dierent
phases, and quickly and easily make changes
to major compositional elements. It can create
comprehensive design proposals and realize its
clients’ ideas on the fly with 3D views. It can also
make late-stage changes without having to manually
coordinate model views, drawing sheets, schedules,
sections, plans, and other design information. More
important, Revit Architecture helps Architectus
to provide designs and documentation that are
coordinated, consistent, and complete.
Architectus has dramatically reduced the time
spent on iterating designs, particularly where
detail is consistently added to various elements
and phases of the design process. According to
Rodd Perey, design technology director of the
Sydney Architectus oce, “Originally we saw Revit
Architecture as a design and presentation tool,
but in my view the strength of the product is in
its ability to manage and coordinate all the
elements needed for successful building design
and construction documentation. We use Revit
Architecture to produce our door, window, and
finishes schedules, and many other types of analysis.
The documents remain fully coordinated, allowing
outstanding design issues to become immediately
obvious.”
Enhanced Coordination, Quality, and
Communication
Using BIM technology the company can keep
computable information about a building project in
design and construction up-to-date and accessible
in an integrated digital environment. This gives
architects, engineers, builders, and owners a clear
overall vision of their projects and enables faster
decision making—helping raise the quality of projects.
From conceptual studies through to the most
detailed construction drawings and schedules, Revit
Architecture software helps Architectus coordinate
its projects eortlessly. With the Revit Architecture

parametric change engine, the company can make
amendments to any part of the design and have the
changes automatically integrated and coordinated
throughout the project. It also enables the company
to enhance client communications and accelerate
decision making, by gaining timely feedback on
project design, scope, schedule, and budget, while
minimizing costly eorts to coordinate documents
manually.
Using model-based design, by having the ability
to design in a 3D format, the company can better
share ideas and inspirations with clients at an early
stage to fast-track support. Through the Project
Navigator feature in Revit Architecture, designers
can access any view of the building information
model including drawing sheets, schedules, sections
and plans.
Collaboration and Integration Drive Success
As Architectus grows, seamless integration of
designs and documentation is the key to driving
project success, as is eective collaboration across
teams and geographies. This requires streamlined
processes and eective workflows to ensure designs
are created and delivered eciently.
With the flexible licensing arrangements for Revit
Architecture software, Architectus has extended
the benefits of the solution to the project team’s
desktops. This helps create a cohesive work
environment that fosters collaboration and
knowledge sharing, both internally and externally
with partners. From initial concept to project
completion, designers and project architects can
now view the status of a project and integrate
information in real time. This has delivered
considerable time savings by reducing the time
taken to develop plans.
Revit Architecture software interoperability with
other Autodesk products further streamlines
workflows. Its ability to share files with AutoCAD®
has helped Architectus realize further value. Perey
explains, “At the early stages of a project we often
use AutoCAD blocks to stand in for modeled Revit
Architecture elements, and replace them as the design
progresses. We are also able to deliver high-quality
AutoCAD drawings for use as backgrounds by
our consultants, using our established automated
drawing issue procedures. We can also host
consultants’ drawings within the Revit Architecture
project file for easy reference.”
Realizing a Return on Its Autodesk Investment
Architectus has made a strategic investment in
Autodesk, not just in terms of software, but also in
relation to sta training, quality assurance systems
and procedures, as well as extensive in-house
customizations. The adoption of Revit Architecture
is further maximizing the value of the company’s
investment, as the solution builds on its existing
systems with BIM capabilities being developed
alongside existing applications.
Perey explains, “Architecture is a competitive
environment, and the purpose of any technology
is to allow us to make the best use of the skills
and experience of our professional sta. Revit
Architecture eliminates many tedious tasks, and our
sta are very enthusiastic about using it.”
Perey goes on to add, “With each project we take
Revit Architecture technology one step further. We
are now using Revit Architecture as the basis for
analyzing a building’s environmentally sustainable
design (ESD) performance, code compliance,
construction sequencing, and logistics. We are
sharing models with multi-disciplinary teams for
structural analysis and MEP integration, and using
the built-in coordination and interference checking
tool to reduce errors.”
The Result
Revit Architecture software is delivering significant
benefits to Architectus, providing the company
with a key point of dierentiation and further
boosting its position as a leader in the architecture
and design field. Architectus now relies on Revit
Architecture to keep its designs and documentation
coordinated, consistent, and complete;
communicate design proposals more quickly and
clearly; and oer better design insight through
on-demand visualization and analysis. Overall, the
company is delivering on its commitment to project
success and excellent service through enhanced
communication and collaboration, integrated
processes, and streamlined systems.
