Case Study: LPA achieves scalable BIM content management with AVAIL

Building Content Collaboration Across Design Teams

LPA, an integrated design firm of architects, engineers, and designers, faced significant challenges managing the exponential growth of Building Information Modeling (BIM) content and digital files across its teams. Traditional content management methods were strained to the breaking point, leading to designers wasting time searching for files and reduced productivity. They needed a new, scalable content management system (CMS) to support their collaborative workflow and eliminate information silos. The vendor, AVAIL, provided its platform to address this need.

The AVAIL platform provided an intuitive and robust solution for content search and management. It broke down silos by indexing files in their original locations and making them accessible across all groups. This resulted in significant time savings, improved design quality by preventing the reuse of old errors, and provided a scalable, future-proof system. The firm-wide implementation of AVAIL drove productivity and quality improvements well beyond the design stage.
