CASE STUDY
Architecture BIM Transformation
From AutoCAD to Revit on a Downtown LA High-Ris
How Avant Leap embedded a dedicated BIM team inside a 70 year old architecture practice, moving a live downtown LA high rise from a fully AutoCAD workflow to Revit and BIM 360, and establishing firm wide standards along the way.
A 70 Year Old Practice Moved From AutoCAD
to Revit and Cut Design Decision Time by 20%
Langdon Wilson had tried to adopt Revit before and each attempt stalled, leaving the firm running entirely on AutoCAD with a demanding downtown LA high rise that needed early MEP and structural coordination plus real time 3D visualization for clients. Avant Leap placed a dedicated BIM team inside the firm's workflow, migrating the live project to Revit, deploying BIM 360 and Navisworks clash coordination, and establishing firm wide Revit standards in parallel.

CASE STUDY 1
Architecture BIM Transformation
Challenge
Earlier attempts to bring Revit into the firm had all stalled with no structured onboarding or standards, while a demanding high rise project needed early multi discipline coordination and real time 3D visualization that AutoCAD could not support.
Solution
Avant Leap migrated the active project into a structured Revit environment, deployed BIM 360 Docs and Design for cross office collaboration, ran Navisworks clash detection against the Revit model, and added Enscape and Sketchfab so clients could experience design intent in VR and AR.
Result
Langdon Wilson completed Design Development in four months while accelerating design decisions by at least 20%, catching conflicts in model review instead of the field and giving clients a clear 3D view of design intent. Download the full case study to see the full platform rollout.
