With over 45 years’ experience, Mivan is an award-winning world leader in Interior luxury fit out and bespoke joinery. The company has a strong reputation for excellence and innovation across a wide range of sectors including prime residential, hotels, leisure, museums, and cruise ships. Covering everything from design, planning, and project management to joinery, metal works, and installation, Mivan has worked on numerous high-profile projects, including the Scottish Parliament Building and London’s Wembley Stadium.
Mivan recently transitioned to Autodesk’s 3D modelling software package, Inventor. The fit out and fabrication industry has relied on 2D design for decades, and so is heavily entrenched in that methodology, meaning that the move to 3D is a major shift. However, with clients increasingly requesting three-dimensional designs, moving to a 3D workflow was the next logical step in the company’s digital transformation journey.

Staircraft Group has successfully designed products such as staircases for building projects for over three decades, but there was a growing demand within the industry for everything to be developed through Autodesk Revit. In order to adapt, the company wanted to expand its existing workflows to incorporate this BIM product, thus enabling them to continue working in harmony with their clients.
Solution
Graitec has been able to provide Staircraft Group with the bespoke solutions they were looking for and quickly helped a team with little experience in Revit to carry out the tasks they needed. This involved demonstrating how to export their design data into advanced Revit models, which could then be shared with clients. This has been vital in enabling Staircraft to carry on providing their manufacturing expertise within the modern construction environment.
