The challenge
Like many, this company’s workplace team lacked the bandwidth and the specific, technical expertise for workplace strategy and test fitting.
To accomplish capital real estate projects, they hired external consultants for things like test fitting which resulted in numerous change orders–ultimately elongating timelines and increasing project costs. This elongated timelines for programming and test fitting by four to eight weeks and increased project costs by 50%. They also were put into a position where they could only leverage 2D CAD plans–making it challenging for executives who don’t have backgrounds in design to accurately assess the quality of proposed plans.
Why Saltmine?
This company ultimately chose Saltmine for the platform’s intuitive, digital design environment as Saltmine streamlines pre-design tasks with its Programming and Design Modules.
Programming replicates a space calculator spreadsheet in a more intuitive and versatile interface which feeds directly into Design. In Design, 3D spaces can be pulled and placed directly from the program, and all spaces are automatically counted in a live chart comparing the Program to the Design.
This allows them to internalize capital project programming and test fitting tasks, fill skill gaps, and augment decision making.
