Case Study: Helm Mechanical Improves Industrial Project Delivery with Autodesk Construction Cloud

Helm Mechanical’s Lean Construction and Cloud-based Collaboration Improves Outcomes on Highly Complex Industrial Projects

Helm Mechanical, a specialty contractor serving highly technical industrial sectors like healthcare, pharma, food manufacturing, and automotive, needed to reduce “application fatigue” from using too many disconnected tools while improving field access to current project information. The company wanted a more stable construction management platform to better support lean construction, collaboration, materials tracking, and communication across complex projects. Autodesk Construction Cloud, using BIM 360, became the backbone of that effort.

With Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360 as a common data environment, Helm Mechanical centralized project data, improved field and office collaboration, streamlined fabrication workflows, and enabled real-time access to models and documents from anywhere on the jobsite. The solution helped reduce rework, improve accountability, support AR/VR walk-throughs, and make prefabrication more accurate and efficient so projects could be delivered faster and with better quality, schedule certainty, and cost control.
