Additional Information
Integration
It is essential that both the client and Forsspac teams come to see each other as part of the same entity with shared values and goals. This process starts with decision makers of both companies agreeing on the overall strategy for integration.
Building Knowledge
Within the Forsspac ISO9001: 2015 system there is an allocation for client guideline manuals which form the “go to” reference for both current and new team members. The guideline book is built up through enquiry and the sharing of information.
Technology
Our IT system are all cloud based. We use BIM360/A360 for many projects, general design and information servers run on the Azure platform.
We currently use the following software:
-
Revit (All levels including latest releases) both MEPF and Architectural suites
-
AutoCAD LT
-
Dynamo
-
Revizto
-
Skype for Business
-
Teams
-
BM360
-
dRofus
-
Lumion
-
3D Max / Stingray
-
Sketch up
-
Calistodata (Tablet based field data collection system for back office processing into reports)
Communication
Good communication is the result of hard work by all concerned of which there are a number of key elements:
-
Lead players must be available for each other at all times and must regularly speak to review overall progress to identify areas for particular attention.
-
Visits to each other’s offices at the start of the relationship to facilitate the building of strong working relationships and friendship’s which break down the barriers helping to minimize the “silo” effect.
-
Clients are encouraged to visit Forsspac offices to continue the process of integration.
-
It is expected that the teams will work day-by-day through conference calls, text chat and emails
Documentation
Forsspac operates an effective document control process that captures all incoming and outgoing documents no matter what format they are in. In this way we capture all design information and all client instructions and our response to them.
