Case Study: McAvoy Group accelerates modular building design with Graphisoft Archicad

McAvoy Group delivers Seismic 33% faster with Graphisoft

The McAvoy Group, a modular construction manufacturer, faced the challenge of accelerating the design and production process for the innovative Seismic building, while needing to collaborate effectively with a distributed consortium of partners during the pandemic. To address this, they turned to the digital design tools of vendor Graphisoft, specifically utilizing the Archicad software.

Graphisoft's solution provided an open BIM platform, enabling McAvoy to create intelligent, data-rich 3D models, share them via IFC and BIMx for seamless collaboration, and perform federated model coordination. The use of Graphisoft's tools resulted in significant measurable improvements, including projects delivered up to 33% faster, with a 32% lower carbon impact and 47% better value compared to typical modular construction, while enabling real-time design changes and complete team familiarity with the building before construction.
