Stantec Gets Revit BIM Experience Award
 DALLAS
(AHR Expo), January 30, 2007 - Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced
that Stantec Inc. has received a Revit BIM Experience Award for their
effective integration of the entire Revit platform for improved design
coordination, and their use of the Revit platform for mechanical electrical
and plumbing (MEP) engineering. The Revit BIM Experience Award honors firms
for their innovation and excellence in implementing the Revit platform for
building information modeling (BIM) to create quality, complex designs and
collaborate across the building design disciplines.
"Stantec's passion for technology and its implementation of the complete
Revit platform across all building design disciplines exemplifies the
Autodesk Revit BIM Experience Award," said Jay Bhatt, vice president,
Autodesk Building Solutions. "This multidisciplinary approach is a model for
all firms who seek to improve design coordination and integration for
increased productivity and efficiency."
Stantec is recognized as a world-class leader and innovator in the
delivery of integrated and sustainable design solutions, and is the
recipient of many industry and peer awards. The firm provides professional
design and consulting services in planning, architecture, engineering,
surveying, and project management services to public and private clients. As
a forward- thinking firm, Stantec recognized the multidisciplinary value of
BIM and began implementing Revit Systems software for MEP engineering in
July 2006, shortly after the product was released. Stantec now utilizes the
entire Revit platform on selected projects for all key disciplines of its
business, including architectural, structural engineering and MEP
engineering.
Stantec is using the Revit platform for all disciplines to design the
Westin Kelowna Hotel in British Columbia, Canada. In addition, Stantec is
currently working on the renovation and expansion of the former Edmonton Art
Gallery of Alberta, Canada with Randall Stout Architects Inc. The firm is
collaborating as a member of the Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) consulting
team on the project, doing the vast majority of the work in the contract
document phase. This 82,300 square foot project, aimed at producing an
architectural centerpiece for the downtown core, is being executed using the
complete Revit platform. Revit Systems has been particularly valuable in
quickly and precisely coordinating new duct and equipment locations through
complex existing areas. For example, when faced with the challenge of
running exposed storm piping within the Gallery's main atrium -- a space
surrounded by glazing -- Stantec was able to use the 3D modeling
capabilities of Revit Systems to effectively blend the piping into the
structure of the space. When presented with Revit-generated sections and
views of the atrium piping, the client was immediately accepting of
Stantec's solution and applauded the company's consideration of aesthetics
in that space.
"We chose the Autodesk Revit platform for BIM because of the platform's
exceptional coordination capabilities between disciplines and the ability of
Revit Systems to interface easily with the firm's existing applications,"
said Stanis Smith, Senior Vice President at Stantec. "As one of the first
firms to implement building information modeling across all disciplines,
Revit has given Stantec an excellent competitive advantage."
