About The Customer
IQTA is a versatile real estate company based in the Netherlands, led by entrepreneur Bastiaan van der Steen. The company is involved in a variety of projects, from systemized construction to regular project development. Some of their notable projects include the development of temporary housing using high-quality design containers and tiny houses similar in size to a sea container, as well as the development of an apartment complex with a parking garage in a former car showroom. The company's diverse portfolio requires collaboration with multiple parties and a versatile CAD software that can handle both BIM and mechanical engineering aspects.
The Challenge
Bastiaan van der Steen, the entrepreneur behind IQTA, a versatile real estate company based in the Netherlands, was facing a challenge. His company, which is involved in a variety of projects from systemized construction to regular project development, needed a more efficient way to manage its diverse portfolio. IQTA was developing multiple projects, including temporary housing using high-quality design containers and tiny houses similar in size to a sea container. Additionally, they were developing an apartment complex with a parking garage in a former car showroom. The complexity and diversity of these projects required collaboration with multiple parties, which prompted Bastiaan to start looking for new CAD software. The existing solutions were not able to meet the diverse needs of the company, especially when it came to managing mechanical engineering aspects of their projects.
The Solution
IQTA found its solution in BricsCAD Ultimate, a comprehensive CAD package that includes BIM and Mechanical features. This software was particularly appealing to Bastiaan because of his real estate background and the mechanical engineering character of several of his projects. With BricsCAD Ultimate, he was able to edit all kinds of mechanical parts in his projects, something that was not possible with his previous software. Additionally, the software offered everything in one workspace, making it easier to manage and oversee all aspects of a project. Another significant advantage of BricsCAD Ultimate was its cost-effectiveness compared to other packages. To further enhance the capabilities of BricsCAD, Bastiaan combined his license with Enscape, a plug-in for real-time rendering and virtual reality. This allowed him to quickly make renders of his designs, a task that was previously outsourced to a third party.
Operational Impact
  • The adoption of BricsCAD Ultimate and Enscape has significantly improved IQTA's operational efficiency. The company can now manage all aspects of a project in one workspace, reducing the need for multiple software and tools. This has streamlined the project management process, making it easier for the team to collaborate and keep track of project progress. Additionally, the ability to quickly render designs in-house has given IQTA more control over their projects, allowing for faster iterations and decision-making. The cost-effectiveness of BricsCAD Ultimate has also provided financial benefits, freeing up resources that can be invested in other areas of the business.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Cost savings from using BricsCAD Ultimate compared to other CAD packages
  • Time savings from being able to quickly render designs in-house using Enscape, instead of outsourcing to a third party
  • Efficiency gains from having all project elements in one workspace with BricsCAD Ultimate
