Case Study: The Walsh Group achieves faster subcontractor collaboration and real-time 3D design review with Autodesk BIM 360 Glue

Autodesk BIM 360 Glue helps The Walsh Group accelerate collaboration among subcontractors

The Walsh Group, a Chicago‑based general contracting and design‑build firm, faced tight budgets and complex coordination on Army Corps barracks renovations that required input from many subcontractors. Managing as many as a dozen separate BIM models and aggregating them for weekly reviews created a bottleneck, so The Walsh Group turned to Autodesk BIM 360 and its cloud service Autodesk BIM 360 Glue to speed collaboration and get everyone working from the same 3D information.

Using Autodesk BIM 360 Glue to give subcontractors real‑time, cloud access to the shared BIM model eliminated the need for powerful workstations and weekly file aggregation; stakeholders could view, measure, save views, and share hyperlinks instantly. The Walsh Group reports streamlined decision making, cut what used to be a two‑day model‑resubmission cycle down to real‑time collaboration, and kept the barracks projects progressing on schedule and within budget thanks to Autodesk BIM 360.
