Miller Electric Company faces typical but urgent industry challenges associated with designing electrical raceway systems for large-scale commercial buildings:  - A process that is highly complex and time consuming - A shortage of experienced design talent - Tight schedules and cost constraints They are eager to find ways to make their design teams more efficient, using new processes and technologies.     ![graham-ruttan-b3LF7JHQmms-unsplash](https://info.augmenta.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/graham-ruttan-b3LF7JHQmms-unsplash.jpg?width=1000&height=391&name=graham-ruttan-b3LF7JHQmms-unsplash.jpg "graham-ruttan-b3LF7JHQmms-unsplash") Hospital setting with emergency room signage.

Using Augmenta’s automated Electrical Design Module, they completely automated the process of designing electrical raceway systems. Running Augmenta’s software on historical projects, Miller Electric Company compared the solutions generated and the time to create those designs with the output of their traditional design processes. They retroactively automated the design of electrical conduit for two medical facilities. # The Result Augmenta enabled Miller Electric Company to significantly increase the capacity of their VDC team. They realized around 40% time-savings in electrical modeling time across their Augmenta pilot projects - the equivalent of adding 2-3 BIM team member’s time, without adding more overhead costs. Furthermore, they predict that with time-savings and the Augmenta platform’s capability to estimate material and labor costs, their VDC team will be able to provide detailed estimates both during bidding and when responding to change requests. Ultimately, Augmenta will enable Miller Electric Company’s VDC team to maintain a competitive edge in the evolving construction sector.       **“Augmenta provides a solution for aggressive project schedules, scaling teams and minimizing rework in the preconstruction phase of projects.”**   "Our Pilot Program with Augmenta provided tangible outcomes that we can make business decisions around.   Their support and engagement during the process was excellent with skilled team members who understand electrical construction.  Our preparedness with a highly developed PreConstruction Process and Detailed tracking internally, aided in the "Apples to Apples" takeaways.  A differentiator to the Augmenta product, is that the solutions are utilizing a level of model development that can be sent directly to fabrication."   - Adam S.
