Adrian James Acoustics specialises in offering tailored solutions across various sectors including education, healthcare, and residential projects. In the intricate world of acoustic consultancy, precision and efficiency are paramount. Adrian James Acoustics recently made a strategic move to enhance their design capabilities by transitioning to BricsCAD. This case study explores the reasons behind their switch, the implementation process, and the transformative impact BricsCAD has had on their operations.
Adrian James Acoustics felt an unnecessary financial strain that led them to seek out competitors’ products to their previous CAD software. They tried various alternative solutions, but none provided the efficiency of work at the price-point they required. In their search for a CAD platform, they found that other software solutions lacked the required flexibility and could not compete on price, particularly with licensing for multiple users. BricsCAD’s compatibility, familiarity and network licensing option was a pivotal feature to meet their dynamic project requirements.
Assistant Acoustics Consultant, Ben Hunt told us “BricsCAD met all our working requirements at a reasonable price – We have not turned back since”.
The company primarily use CAD software to mark-up architectural plans with relevant acoustic criteria for walls and rooms. This is typically for schools, hospitals, and residential developments. The plans are then used by architects and design teams to assist in the construction of acoustically suitable walls and rooms for the build project.
BricsCAD provided a painless and efficient solution that was quickly integrated into their workflow. The ease of setup minimised downtime and allowed them to continue working without unnecessary disruption.
The use of custom templates has enabled them to streamline their work, meaning any initial inefficiencies were quickly ironed out, allowing them to focus their efforts on what is important – providing quality work for their clients that is both efficient and reliable.
The transition to BricsCAD was streamlined thanks to the proactive support from KTF Software. The team at Adrian James Acoustics quickly adapted to BricsCAD, utilising it for intricate acoustic mark-ups and designs.
The switch to BricsCAD marked a significant improvement in both the precision and efficiency of Adrian James Acoustics’ work. They previously created acoustic mark-ups in a pdf editor – directly on to a pdf of the architectural plans. This was time-consuming, and in their line of work, it is very much a case of “time is money”. BricsCAD provided a professional solution that allowed them to be far more efficient with their work, increasing productivity and profitability.
Although Adrian James Acoustics have had very little need for support, KTF Software ensured a smooth transition by helping to set up their network licence, allowing them to harness the full potential of BricsCAD right from the outset. Ben told us “This saved us lots of time and frustration and really demonstrated great service”.
Ben went on to tell us “Acoustics as an industry is very welcoming and open to discussion and idea sharing among competing consultancies. We believe BricsCAD enables us to be more efficient in our work, and we would therefore absolutely recommend it to other consultancies”.
The successful transition of Adrian James Acoustics to BricsCAD is a testament to the transformative power of the right CAD solutions in specialised fields, illustrating the versatility and efficiency of BricsCAD and innovation in the field of acoustic design.
