Case Study: THW Design cuts manual feasibility work with Arcol

How THW uses Arcol to cut-down on manual labour at feasibility

THW Design, a multidisciplinary design firm, faced a significant challenge with its time-consuming and manual feasibility study process for large-scale campus and multifamily projects. Their workflow involved extensive sketching and manual input across multiple applications like SketchUp, Revit, and Excel to generate unit counts and square footages, which was inflexible and slowed down their ability to provide clients with fast feedback and options. They sought a new tool to add value and intelligence to this process, leading them to evaluate Arcol.

By implementing Arcol's solution, THW Design gained a flexible and user-friendly tool that dramatically reduced manual labor. The platform's ability to handle different floor plans per building level and manage complex topography and building pads provided a significant advantage, allowing for faster iterations and more intelligent massing. While specific metrics are not provided, the firm now generates analysis and options for multi-year capital planning much more efficiently. Arcol's responsive team and powerful features have positioned it as a critical tool for THW Design's large, multi-phase projects.
