Case Study: Canary Wharf Development streamlines Wood Wharf collaboration with 3D Repo

Wood Wharf Building a City in the Cloud

Canary Wharf Development was faced with the immense challenge of coordinating design and managing issues across over 100 different design firms for their enormous Wood Wharf district project. Traditional methods like email were inefficient and caused delays, necessitating a collaborative Building Information Modelling (BIM) platform that could run in a web browser. To address this, they implemented 3D Repo's digital construction platform.

The solution from 3D Repo centered on its cloud-based Issue Tracker, which allowed teams to drop pins in 3D models to identify and assign issues, replacing inefficient email exchanges. This streamlined project management by saving time, reducing errors, and ensuring accountability and transparency. The platform held all parties accountable for their tasks and was subsequently expanded to include advanced features like real-time change detection and clash detection, further enhancing coordination for the decade-long development.
