Efficiency Leap in Facade and Steel Engineering

This case study details the digital transformation journey of Global Wall Panel Group, a division of Global Roofing Inc., which began in 2024. The company specializes in advanced façade and steel structure solutions and sought to enhance its operations through the implementation of HiCAD, a CAD system that improved efficiency across design, documentation, and fabrication processes. Prior to HiCAD, the company utilized multiple software platforms, which led to inefficiencies and workflow discontinuities. HiCAD's tailored modules provided a unified solution, enabling automation of bills of materials and integration of point clouds. The implementation included customized training that facilitated rapid adoption among staff. The software has since become central to operations, significantly improving productivity and project delivery times. The case study also highlights measurable results, such as time savings of 50-65% and enhanced accuracy through advanced integration techniques. Overall, HiCAD has transformed the company's approach to delivering complex building-envelope systems.
