With over 1400 employees and generating annual sales of approximately 1.3 billion, Ten Brinke has cemented its position as a global leader in the construction industry. The company attributes its success to its core strategy of designing with buildability in mind. “The buzzword of design to build is in our DNA. For us, lean construction means saving materials, costs, and time,” asserts the company’s CEO, Albert ten Brinke.
LEAN and BIM: Innovations Driving Efficiency
The company's commitment to efficiency is clearly visible in its operations. Ten Brinke is notable for its effective utilization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the LEAN methodology. For the Amprion project, the team has used the BIM methodology and the LEAN methodology. They emphasize that it's not just about pure geometry, but about using information and data on these models more extensively.
The LEAN approach brings considerable value to projects. For instance, during the construction of the Amprion project – a 24,000m² building, including an underground parking garage – project manager Dennis Stol cites good control, daily checks, and well-coordinated teams as vital factors that ensure high-speed and efficient execution.
The Role of Technology: Allplan’s 3D Models
The significant role of Allplan's 3D models in the day-to-day operations of Ten Brinke can't be overlooked. With this 3D model, they can actually understand these large projects in the first place properly and execute them.
Construction Manager Henk Baan also praises the utility of Allplan's 3D models, particularly when used on site, explaining: “We have a 3D module, which we also have on our iPad. When we're out and about on the construction site, we can look directly at how the details are, all the details, we can find out everything quickly. That's a big advantage for us.”
A Reliable Partner
CEO Albert ten Brinke acknowledges the long-standing and successful partnership with Allplan, and the certainty that it provides. He asserts: “When we have to guarantee the time, when we have to guarantee the quality, or if we have to guarantee the price, then we must also master the entire process of construction. And we can only do that if we have everything sorted in-house ourselves. That is why we have the planning and that is why we have been working for so long and successfully with Allplan.”
