New collaboration between STUDIO IN-EX and LENOVO
A glimpse into the daily life of our office: Studio In-Ex, which started as a family business, has grown over the past 20 years to nearly 150 employees and now offers a full range of services, bringing together architects, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineers. The use of a fully 3D-coordinated model has many advantages: costly additional work and delays during construction can be avoided, and important decisions that affect the running costs of the building can be considered at the design stage. The architectural and engineering projects can be implemented more accurately and efficiently.
To use the BIM technology on a daily basis, we need the best hardware and software available on the market, so our first step was to purchase workstations that would be financially affordable as well as fast and long-lasting. After a thorough study of the IT market and a global assessment of PC capacity, we saw that Lenovo met all our needs, and with domestically assembled assets, they were able to deliver quality and quantity on short notice. BIM design is cutting-edge technology, and our current LENOVO equipment gives us everything we need to work efficiently and quickly.

From idea to impact
At IN-EX, we believe that our greatest asset is the knowledge, experience and curiosity of our people. The Innovation Hub was created to ensure that our engineers’ ideas do not remain isolated suggestions: we give them space, develop them together, and take initiatives that create real value all the way through to implementation.
Structural Challenges of an Automated Warehouse System and a BIM-Based Solution
Our project serves as a good example of how adapting existing industrial buildings to modern technologies can present a complex engineering challenge. The implementation of the automated high-bay warehouse system involved not only a technological conversionbut also the adaptation of an existing reinforced concrete hall structure to new operational, structural, and fire safety requirements.
New Technology, Existing Structure: A Steel Structural Solution for the Conversion of an Automated High-Bay Warehouse
During the interior conversion of a high-bay warehouse attached to a manufacturing plant, it became necessary to install a state-of-the-art automated storage system. In the first phase of the project, we were commissioned to assess, at the conceptual design stage, whether the existing structural framework was suitable for accommodating the new technological system and to determine what structural modifications would be required to implement the conversion.
One Office, One Model: The Benefits of 3D Design and Multidisciplinary Collaboration
STUDIO IN-EX is a multidisciplinary design studio where almost every design discipline is represented under one roof. Every day, our colleagues experience the benefits of having designers from different disciplines work side by side, within a shared closed BIM environment and in the same office. What are these benefits in practice? We spoke to Lilla Vámos, one of our low-voltage systems designers, about her experience.
Case Study: Saving on Investment Costs Through Smart Warehouse Design
We believe that the investment cost of a project can be influenced to a significant extent during the design phase. For this reason, our approach goes beyond simply meeting the applicable requirements. We also investigate alternative technical solutions that can provide the same level of technical performance and safety while resulting in lower investment costs.
Model Checking Is Not About Finding Errors
In model-based design, a BIM model is no longer just a 3D representation. A well-structured model contains geometry, information, and discipline-specific relationships in a single source of truth. It drives drawings, quantity take-offs, schedules, equipment lists, technical data deliverables, and serves as the common platform for multidisciplinary coordination.
