The Challenge
RIS Electric wanted to establish an internal BIM department but faced a significant hurdle: their designated lead, Project Manager Blake Hunter, had very little experience with Revit or other drafting programs.
They needed a partner to provide the foundational training necessary to turn a novice user into a department head.
- Project Goals
The primary objective was to lay the groundwork for RIS Electric’s internal processes while providing an essential knowledge base in Revit.
The engagement focused on up-skilling staff through fundamental lessons on program operations and industry guidelines.
Solutions
ATG provided a dual-layered approach to training, led by instructor Blake Creasman, including:
- Real-time Project Support: Assisting with active project issues to overcome obstacles while providing preventative advice.
- Structured Learning: Providing a lecture-style environment where attendees could listen, learn, and ask questions.
Business Outcomes
RIS Electric successfully launched their own BIM department with Blake Hunter at the helm.
After building the department from scratch using skills learned from ATG, RIS has since returned for additional mentoring to further refine Blake’s skills as a BIM Manager.
ATG has been a huge helping factor with our push on procuring an in-house BIM department. The instructor, Blake Creasman, has been an excellent trainer with his vast knowledge about the related software applications and availability to assist when needed.
