Enhance Your BIM Workflows: Discover the Benefits of Fetch and SSG Integration

Written by Admin | Aug 14, 2024 7:57:58 PM

If you are an architect, designer, engineer, or construction professional, you know how important it is to have accurate and up-to-date Revit BIM content for your projects. You also know how challenging it can be to find, create, and manage Revit content that meets your specific needs and standards. That's why we created Fetch, a Revit platform that makes it easy for you to access, use, and customize high-quality models, families, and libraries.  

In this blog, we will introduce you to Fetch, explain how it can benefit you and your projects, and show you how Southwest Solutions Group (SSG) uses it to provide turnkey solutions from design to installation. 

What is Fetch and How Can It Benefit You? 

Fetch is a FREE Revit platform/app that creates high-quality models, families, and libraries for you. You can browse, download, and insert models and families from various categories and access pricing, sustainability, and life cycle management data.

Functional Real-World Content

Our content has built-in constraints, so you don't design things that can't be made in real life. This ensures your projects are more accurate and reflect the true product characteristics. We also offer a material library that is available to download and apply to applicable models. This library can be applied to the models to showcase the appearance and specifications of various materials accurately.  

Expansive Content Library 

Our team does the heavy lifting for you, providing you with usable content that’s ready to go, right after download. Our primary focus is on making our content easy to use for everyone. You don’t have to be an expert in Revit to access or use any of our models. We have over 1,000 Revit families available to you today! Additionally, we create new content daily on relevant products and solutions. 

Proactive Content Strategy 

Our team ensures every piece of content is up to date for your projects due today or years later. We take a proactive approach to content management, guaranteeing that every piece of content remains current and usable for your projects. We treat our content like software; it’s never static and undergoes constant improvement and enhancement.  

Integrated Data 

Fetch makes data a key part of the design process. We include data such as pricing, lead times, and sustainability that can have a direct impact on your design decisions. Our data is stored in a centralized database and then synced to our plugin and website, allowing users access to accurate, real-time information. Fetch and our real-time data allow designers to focus on creativity and problem-solving rather than research and data entry.  

Technology/Adaptability 

Fetch helps you stay on the forefront of technology and changes in AEC. We attend major conferences to learn about upcoming technologies and trends in AEC. We work directly with users to ensure our content and app can work with their current processes. We also use our platform to educate others through YouTube videos, blogs, and continuing education workshops. 

How Does SSG Use Fetch for Projects? 

Southwest Solutions Group (SSG) is a leading provider of innovative storage and information management solutions. We have been serving clients in various industries for over 50 years, delivering customized solutions that optimize space, improve productivity, and enhance security. We are also a proud partner of Fetch, using it to create project plans and manage Revit content for our solutions and products. 

Tucson Medical Center Case Study 

One of our recent projects involved designing a storage solution for the pharmacy department of Tucson Medical Center, a 600-bed hospital in Arizona. The pharmacy staff faced multiple challenges with their existing storage system, such as limited space, disorganization, lengthy retrieval times, and increased risk of errors. They needed a solution that would optimize their space, improve their workflow, and enhance their patient care. 

We used Fetch to create a 3-D Revit rendering of our proposed solution, which was a Spacesaver shelving system. Fetch allowed us to quickly and easily access high-quality Revit models of the shelving units and customize them to fit the specific dimensions and requirements of the pharmacy space. Fetch also provided us with integrated data, such as pricing, lead times, and sustainability information, that helped us make informed design decisions and communicate them to the client. Fetch enabled us to create a realistic and accurate representation of how the new shelving system would look and function in the pharmacy, giving the client a clear vision of the expected outcome and benefits. By using Fetch, we were able to streamline the design process, increase our productivity, and deliver a satisfactory solution to the client.
