Tokyo, Japan, September 8, 2014 – Nihon Sekkei, Inc. and Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) have announced a strategic partnership aimed at advancing the future of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Japan. The collaboration will focus on developing tailored BIM processes that meet both local and global standards, helping to create smarter, more sustainable buildings and infrastructure across the country.
For over 50 years, Nihon Sekkei has been at the forefront of large-scale architectural projects, including educational institutions, healthcare facilities, commercial complexes, and more. Notable projects include the Toyota Motors’ Nisshin Education and Training Center, IBM Japan’s Makuhari Office, and the Tianjin International Financial Center. With a strong emphasis on design innovation and environmental performance, the company is well-positioned to lead in the next phase of construction technology.
Autodesk, a global leader in BIM software, brings cutting-edge tools like Revit to the table. Together, the two companies are committed to maximizing the potential of BIM throughout the entire building lifecycle, offering greater value to clients, users, and communities.
Key elements of their partnership include:
- Nihon Sekkei will leverage Autodesk Revit to integrate architectural, structural, and MEP data, enabling designers and owners to measure and reduce environmental impact over the life of a building. This approach supports long-term sustainability goals.
- The companies will co-develop new BIM workflows using Revit and cloud-based platforms like A360, improving efficiency and collaboration across teams.
- They will also work on enhancing data interoperability between Autodesk solutions and third-party applications such as facility management systems and simulation tools. This will expand Nihon Sekkei's capabilities in technical consulting and design services.
- Both organizations will engage with global industry leaders to promote BIM as the standard for modern construction practices, driving widespread adoption and innovation.
This partnership is expected to bring about significant improvements in design methodologies and project workflows. By working closely with construction firms, academic institutions, and government bodies, the companies aim to establish standardized BIM practices that deliver real-world benefits to the Japanese market.
