30% Faster and 15% Cheaper: How InOneBuro Company Increased Design Efficiency Using Renga Professional BIM System

Modern design companies are increasingly abandoning traditional design methods in favor of BIM technology. InOneBuro, Yekaterinburg-based industrial design company, shared its experience transitioning from foreign solutions to the domestically developed Renga BIM system.

BIM technology helps to shorten design time, minimize errors, reduce costs, and improve coordination between team members. InOneBuro decided switching to BIM due to numerous issues with traditional 2D design: frequent errors in drawings, lengthy design approval cycle, and a lack of calculation automation. For example, designing a tank farm project took about 40% of the time only to perform clash detection.

Before switching to Renga Professional, the company used different software for different tasks: Revit for architecture, Tekla for metal structures, and Navisworks for clash detection. However, the lack of integration between these programs significantly increased data duplication and manual work.

The key criteria for choosing Renga were:

⸰ Single platform for all construction disciplines (architecture, structures and MEP);

⸰ Intuitive interface that simplifies employee training;

⸰ IFC format support for data exchange with other BIM systems;

⸰ Budget-friendly price compared to foreign counterparts.

The pilot project designed in Renga Professional was a steel grinding balls plant. While working on the project, the team had a chance to appreciate Renga BIM system many advantages: automatic drawing generation, which reduced documentation production time by 30–40%; collaboration work within a single model, which eliminated data duplication; and built-in schedule tools, which accelerated report preparation.

Successful implementation of the pilot project confirmed Renga efficiency, and from 2025 onwards, all new InOneBuro projects will be developed exclusively in Renga Professional. 

One of InOneBuro key projects is a 21,400 m² wellness centre, including 7 above-ground levels and an underground section. Designers from three offices in Ekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Novosibirsk participated in this project, simultaneously collaborating on the same model. Working in Renga Professional helped to reduce design time by 30%, automatic material calculation reduced costs by 15%, and collaboration functionality eliminated data duplication.

InOneBuro continues to develop internal designd standards for Renga Professional, creating a knowledge data base to speed up the onboarding of new employees. The company is also implementing Pilot-BIM system to manage common project data.

As a result, the transition to Renga BIM system allowed InOneBuro not only to optimize processes but also to strengthen its competitiveness in the industrial design market. You can learn more about InOneBuro design experience by following the link.
