Beton-Stahl is a structural engineering firm headquartered in Hudson, Wisconsin. They deliver structural engineering and drafting services for both steel and concrete projects. Being founded only recently in 2012, they have grown quickly by exceeding their customers’ expectations. “To be a valuable partner to our clients, we need to be able to transition from design to fabrication quickly.” says President, Corey Leith.
Part of their growth strategy has been to adopt the latest technology. Using the EDGE^ solution, provided by Autodesk Industry Partner PTAC, has helped them make the leap to BIM and deliver more projects, having detailed over 30 precast projects using BIM. A key benefit for using BIM is the data-richness of the resulting 3D model. EDGE^ was a key driver for Beton-Stahl’s move to Revit to do BIM-based precast detailing, says Mr. Leith. The main driver is the volume of information they are able to extract from the model for their clients without added costs.
“We are still providing our clients with detailed reinforcement drawings, but with the Edge^ software we are also providing the digital PXML CAM files for their automated rebar mat fabrication. Our clients are seeing time and cost savings because the CAM files are now just download and go.”
Stories like this from Beton-Stahl show that companies can grow quickly by exceeding their client’s needs through innovation.
