The building and construction industry is one of Australia’s biggest economic drivers, outpacing both the manufacturing and service sectors for annual growth. However, with global supply shortages, increased transport costs, and a tight labour market, working with industry specialists is a must to improve efficiencies and capitalise on the market opportunity.
Brisbane-based leading IT services company, PKCG, specialises in supporting the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry and works closely with consultants in Building Information Modelling (BIM) to design and deliver IT solutions to solve for the industry’s biggest challenges.
Industry expert and Director of BIM Services at PKCG, Joe Banks, said PKCG is one of Australia’s only dedicated managed IT service providers for the BIM industry and delivers improved efficiencies and productivity for its clients.
“Staff shortages are a key challenge facing our industry today and to solve this the AEC industry is doing more with less and hiring BIM specialists with less experience. This is why it has never been more important to work with industry specialists, like PKCG, who can act as an extension of your team and maximise technology capabilities to improve efficiencies and outputs. We achieve this through better workflows, world-class technology solutions, and automation.
“PKCG’s real point of difference is our intricate industry knowledge coupled with our detailed Managed IT Services. We really are a one-stop-shop. The advantage of this integration is our expertise with industry software, like AutoCAD and Revit, and our ability to provide training and troubleshooting from both an IT and BIM project perspective.”
An extension of the team
As a BIM expert, Joe’s focus at PKCG is on improving client efficiency and productivity, making sure businesses are doing the best work they can with the least amount of wasteful, abortive practices.
One way PKCG achieves this is by offering a subscription service, which truly allows PKCG to act as an extension of your team. For a monthly fee, clients access the skills, oversight, and long-term planning of an experienced BIM manager for a fraction of the cost. This is particularly helpful for smaller firms, allowing them to progress their BIM systems and keep projects on track. The PKCG team supports with tailored project reviews and analysis, staff training, and content creation as well as providing assistance with setting standards and project benchmarks.
“We have real world experience. I have worked as a BIM specialist for more than 20 years, and like me, our team has hands on experience with industry projects. Our knowledge doesn’t come from a product training course, we provide pivotal advice based on our proven experience and know-how. It’s what truly sets us apart and makes us indispensable to our clients,” Joe Banks added.
Training and support of new hires is another way the PKCG team adds value. The BIM subscription offers a “help desk” component with real-time support from local, practiced experts.
