How M3G Achieves Schedule Certainty with Resolve Coordination
M3G, an engineering design firm specializing in food and other process facilities in South America recently started using Resolve to improve delivery timelines.
Project Types:
Food & Beverage, Chemical Processing Facilities
M3G specializes in engineering design for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical facilities across South America for clients like Proctor & Gamble, Nestle, Mondelez, Unilever, and other top brands. Their goal is to help clients design functional facilities and get them to production as fast as possible.
They recently turned to Resolve to accelerate their project delivery and improve confidence in their coordination process. One issue alone helped prevent 3 weeks of startup delay at a food production plant.
Key Challenges Faced:
- Difficult to understand 2D drawings resulted in overlooked design issues
- Past coordination and VR workflows required IT, exports, and hours of setup per model review
- Delays in production startups due to rework cause project overruns and client frustration
Before Resolve, M3G struggled with coordination done via 2D screens and when they tried other VR solutions they were time consuming and required IT support every time. With Resolve, model reviews became simple and portable—enabling engineering teams to collaborate directly with owners onsite and remotely, without IT support or model prep.
“If you have a one-month project deadline, Resolve helps you finish within the month and with fewer issues.”
— Mauricio Gouvea, CEO, M3G
MEP Coordination with Clarity and Predictability
Resolve’s platform has transformed M3G’s coordination process. Engineering teams can perform virtual inspections with owner O&M teams accelerating approvals, eliminating rework, and reducing costly delays. Previously, setting up a VR session required days of preparation, file conversions, and technical expertise.
Now, M3G is able to leverage Resolve’s desktop and VR viewers to collaborate with owners and catch issues early. From equipment layouts to safety hazards, teams are able to stay on schedule and avoid redesigns.
Key Issue Avoided:
Insufficient visibility for food safety monitoring
In one facility walkthrough, Resolve revealed that there was insufficient visibility for monitoring process areas. This would have blocked inspections by the safety and quality team, requiring major late redesigns.
Instead, M3G was able to update the design to include more visibility windows preventing up to a 3 week delay in startup!
Stay on Schedule with Confidence
Resolve helps M3G ensure that when a model is approved, it’s final. With Resolve, M3G has been able to more quickly identify designs that don’t align with food safety specifications or client maintenance requirements. This helps avoid production delays.
“With Resolve, M3G is improving collaboration with clients and facility operators. And our teams find it very easy to use.”
— Fabio Pinto, IT Manager, M3G
Coordinate Beyond Clashes
With Resolve, M3G is able to collaborate with more stakeholders, from operations to safety, to capture high quality feedback. Resolve has transformed their coordination process so they can more easily address safety and compliance needs.
Simplified Setup, Broader Collaboration
M3G eliminated the need for IT-managed workflows with Resolve. What used to take hours of file prep and office coordination now takes minutes, enabling engineers to review models directly with clients across desktops and VR headsets.
By combining all parts of the platform, the M3G team aligns faster, resolves more issues, and completes projects with greater confidence.
Resolve helped M3G streamline model reviews across stakeholders, reduce reliance on IT, and deliver better outcomes for industrial clients—all while avoiding rework and keeping production schedules on track.
