LCE Maximise CAD & BIM outsourcing efficiencies to reduce costs and increase revenue.
CHALLENGE
Langan Consulting Engineers has a very strong pipeline of residential projects. Due to an increasingly competitive landscape it is difficult to locate good and economic draughting & modelling resources. One solution is to outsource the drawing work.
​
This has proved problematic fin the past for General Arrangement drawings for numerous reasons:
​
-
The initial overhead in trying to communicate what needs to be done, particularly if you have not together before.
-
There is little visibility in how the work is progressing and difficult to ensure the work is being done to the deadline.
-
With the different time zones it can be very difficult to communicate changes for a highly collaborative drawings.
​
The result has often been poor quality output, where it takes nearly as much resources to check and provide corrective feedback as it would to have done the work in house in the first place - if resources are even available!
SOLUTION
Rezolve was used by LCE to outsource the drawing work at short notice to a detailer that had not worked with previously.
​
Using Rezolve means:
-
The project was set very easily and 40% of the work was immediatly delegated using the custom Rezolve template
-
Every markup and task is tracked for full project visibility
-
The markups which are closed are complete, meaning a hugely streamlined and efficient review process.
-
Easier to create piecemeal markups on the fly, as emails and new files are not required as it is live in the browser. An alert is created automatically if new markup created.
-
Easily create tasks instead of markups for non-graphical work.
BENIFITS
-
40% time savings on design reviews & marking up.

70% reduction in cost in effective drawing outsourcing with top quality deliverables.
-
490% uplift in net profit ! (old profit 10% new profit 59%)
