About the project

A Project of Precision and Collaboration

Steelcad’s expertise in Tekla Structures, Model Sharing, and Trimble Connect played a pivotal role in the successful completion of the Woolworths JN and JR Distribution Buildings project. This ambitious undertaking, encompassing two sites over a sprawling 75,000 square meters, represents a significant milestone in Woolworths’ supply chain operations, both regionally and nationally.

Early Engagement and Collaborative Workflow

Steelcad’s early engagement by Tactical Group proved to be a strategic advantage, enabling the team to prioritize the modeling and detailing of steelwork with lengthy lead times. This proactive approach ensured the timely procurement of materials, mitigating the impact of industry-wide price fluctuations.

By delivering Advanced Bills of Material (ABM) and Shop Drawings early in the project cycle, Steelcad streamlined the material procurement process, ensuring that essential materials were secured well in advance. This proactive approach minimised potential delays and disruptions to the construction schedule.

A Single Source of Truth and Seamless Collaboration

Steelcad’s meticulously crafted Tekla Structures model emerged as the single source of truth, fostering trust and collaboration among the project’s diverse stakeholders. The model’s accuracy and comprehensiveness facilitated seamless coordination between designers, contractors, and fabricators.

Effective Model Management with Trimble Connect

Steelcad’s utilisation of Trimble Connect proved to be invaluable in managing the project’s numerous models effectively. The platform’s robust features enabled the team to efficiently handle model interfaces, ensuring consistency and avoiding discrepancies.

Overcoming Challenges Through Collaboration

The project presented unique challenges, including navigating unfamiliarity with certain design consultants. However, Steelcad’s commitment to collaboration and open communication fostered strong relationships, enabling the team to overcome obstacles and deliver the project successfully.

A Testament to BIM Expertise

The Woolworths JN and JR Distribution Buildings project stands as a testament to Steelcad’s expertise in BIM methodologies. The team’s ability to leverage BIM tools and foster collaboration among stakeholders played a crucial role in the project’s successful completion.
