Learn how to successfully overcome the 7 most common challenges in TGA planning and discover how the auxalia Revit ProjectBox helps companies to optimize their Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows.
The 7 most common challenges!
Revit planning in the TGA industry brings with it many challenges. From project start to model coordination – without the right tools, errors, lost time and inefficiencies can affect the entire planning process. BIM management often seems overwhelming, even to us, but with the right solution you can overcome these challenges and make your projects more efficient and error-free.
1. tough project start: How to start your Revit projects quickly and efficiently
For many teams, the project start is the linchpin to success. If there are already outdated templates, incorrect parameters or a chaotic project structure, it is not uncommon for the project to progress slowly.
Workaround: A quick and effective solution is to use a preconfigured project template that already contains the most important parameters and standards. This allows the team to work immediately with a clearly structured basis.
At CADimension, the introduction of auxalia Revit ProjectBox solved precisely this problem. The project structure was clearly defined right from the start, which significantly accelerated the introduction and made the project start smooth. The employees report that they can concentrate on the essentials much more quickly thanks to the clear structure
2. missing or overloaded TGA families
Another problem we often face in TGA planning is the lack of suitable TGA families or the presence of overloaded, incomplete families that make it difficult for planners to work quickly and accurately.
Our tip: The solution often lies in a centralized family library that makes all relevant TGA families clearly structured and easily accessible. With the auxalia Revit ProjectBox you can access a curated family library that is equipped with the right parameters and simplifies the search logic. For GESA Engineers, the implementation of this solution has significantly reduced search times and optimized the entire planning process. The teams report that they can now find the right components much faster and therefore work much more efficiently.
3. inconsistent data and incorrect lists
Working with inconsistent data, incorrect lists and non-parameterized labels poses major challenges for many planners. Manual post-processing is often necessary, which unnecessarily increases the workload and the susceptibility to errors.
The use of standardized parameter structures and automatic labels helps to avoid errors and ensure consistent data. The use of ready-made and structured parameters helps to reduce errors by automatically tagging data correctly and keeping labels consistent. Teams save time and avoid manual errors.
4. confusing model coordination
Coordination between different trades (e.g. architecture, structural engineering and electrical planning) is often difficult. Without clear coordination views and visibility-controlled filters, clarity is lost, which leads to inefficient collaboration.
Workaround: The use of predefined coordination views and visibility-controlled filters can quickly solve this problem, as all teams have the same, clear view of the model and duplication of work is avoided. This method was used successfully in ifbrand project planning.
Here the auxalia Revit ProjectBox provides the teams with a clear coordination structure that significantly simplifies collaboration between the trades. The result was smoother coordination and faster progress.
5. long onboarding times for new colleagues
New colleagues often find it difficult to settle into a new project quickly. Without clear standards and default settings, onboarding is time-consuming and inefficient.
Tip: Using a standardized training structure and predefined project templates can significantly speed up the onboarding process for new employees. At GESA Ingenieure, the onboarding process was optimized with up-to-date and ready-made templates from the auxalia Revit ProjectBox was optimized. Thanks to the clearly defined structure, new colleagues were able to familiarize themselves with the projects more quickly and efficiently. The feedback was: “Getting started was faster and less error-prone.”
6. data maintenance & repetition work
Routine tasks such as creating sections, setting filters or maintaining databases are among our biggest time wasters in planning
We help ourselves here with automated workflows for recurring tasks such as creating sections or setting parameters to ensure that manual input is minimized and sources of error are reduced. View templates stored for the trades help to reduce manual rework.
7. manual planning processes
Our many years of experience in the industry show that clear project management and well thought-out structures are the key to increasing team efficiency and avoiding errors. One example is our partner Paderplan. The company has switched to manual electrical planning in order to reduce the susceptibility to errors.
With the introduction of the auxalia Revit ProjectBox it was possible to create uniform project structures and establish standardized processes at Paderplan. The company emphasizes the automatic adjustment of openings and describes the use as simple, fast and uncomplicated.
Paderplan also recommends the software to all companies that want to make their planning and work processes less error-prone.
Conclusion: future-proof your TGA planning
The auxalia Revit ProjectBox creates clarity and structure where otherwise loss of time, errors and inefficient processes jeopardize the success of the project. With preconfigured standards, a central family library and automated processes, you gain back valuable time and increase planning quality at the same time. This allows you to concentrate on the essentials: sustainable, successful projects that impress your customers.
