Joining The Dots with Graitec

Context

Based in Battle, East Sussex and founded in 1938, Howard Bros Joinery Ltd is a bespoke sub-contract specialist joinery contractor, specialising in the manufacturing and installation of all aspects of bespoke joinery and associated trades including metalwork, glass, marble, and granite. It is focused predominantly, but not exclusively, on the London-based fit-out market.

Challenge

According to Karl Tarrant, Howard Bros: “The market in which we operate has evolved significantly over the past 20 years, with the advancement of CAD, CAM, survey, and collaboration systems facilitating the transition from a rigid, antiquated design/construction process to a fluid/client-focused environment in which construction programs are shorter, and change is anticipated at any stage of the build.

To deliver this kind of approach to customers, Howard Bros works with Autodesk Strategic Partner and software developer, Graitec, a company which was instrumental in helping Howard Bros get up and running with a wide range of Autodesk software including AutoCAD®; Inventor®, Vault, and through tailored on-site training sessions, allowing Howard Bros’s design team to commence with live project work straightaway.
