Case Study: Mid Group saves 1,500 hours with 3D Repo's BIM data validation solution

Mid Group saves 1,500 hours with 3D Repo

Mid Group, a leading UK offsite construction and consultancy business, faced a challenge ensuring the quality and accuracy of Building Information Modeling (BIM) data across its fast-paced projects. The manual process of checking hundreds of models for correct parameters and compliance was time-consuming, taking several hours per model. To address this, Mid Group partnered with software and BIM specialist 3D Repo to automate its model and data validation.

3D Repo implemented a solution using its 'Smart Groups' feature, creating a custom set of automated validation rules. This allowed Mid Group to check models in approximately 30 minutes instead of three to four hours. The solution included an automated reporting dashboard via Power BI. The partnership with 3D Repo resulted in an estimated annual saving of over 1,500 hours, improved collaboration, and a dramatic increase in model quality, reducing errors from hundreds to zero on a key project.
