Turning a design-stage MEP BIM model into a fabrication-ready (LOD 400) model using Fabrication MEP parts is one of the most critical and complex phases in the project lifecycle. Once IFC files and construction drawings are handed off, the responsibility shifts to general contractors and subcontractors to ensure constructability, meet engineering standards, and align with fabrication requirements. This session will demonstrate how Construction Cloud , AutoCAD or Revit with Fabrication MEP parts, curated MEP database sets, custom scripts and powerful add-ins enhance model refinement. You’ll discover how early modeling decisions reduce waste, improve rerouting, and accelerate field installation. By resolving fabrication needs in the model, teams reduce material use and empower crews with ready-to-build content. Whether you're a GC or MEP subcontractor working toward high-detail prefab, this session offers the tools to bridge design and construction empower by the cloud base tools.

One click of “Create Project” in Construction Cloud, and, like magic, folders auto-populate, design workflows activate, and dashboards light up—all before you can even finish brewing your coffee. Join us to unpack how our virtual design and construction (VDC) and design teams built an Construction Cloud template that cuts setup from weeks to hours. Learn how we preconfigured rules (clash detection on the cloud!), embedded structured folders, and auto-populated Assets settings. We’ll demo how designers now sync Revit models to Construction Cloud sheets with one click, while on-site teams track steel installations via prebuilt Assets dashboards with no Python PhD required. “This way, teams can focus on the important aspects of designing,” says our lead design manager. Discover how Construction Cloud templates auto-invite team members, assign permissions, and deploy build settings, not admin work. This is perfect for general contractors, VDC pros, and design managers expecting to leave with actionable steps to replicate our framework.

With more than 100 client implementations—from architects to general contractors and owners to civil—the speaker can answer anything about Construction Cloud, Docs, Build, or . Bring on your questions! You’ll get help with work-arounds, new tools, or getting your question in front of Autodesk’s dev teams and product managers.

Did you know that 98% of construction leaders plan to increase their investment in workforce planning over the next year? Workforce planning has become a go-to discipline for general contractors looking to increase efficiency and counter familiar workforce challenges. But not every workforce planning strategy is created equal. In this session, Brad Buckles, VP of Technology and Innovation at CPPI, has agreed to share the real-world approach he’s used to build a highly effective workforce planning strategy. Joining him is Dave Pimiskern, VP of Strategy and Operations at Bridgit, who’ll help connect the dots between Brad’s best practices and innovative new technology that makes them possible - and easy. This session will include recommendations for effective workforce planning meetings, the value of team-based planning, which skills you should be tracking among your team members, and more.

In this session, we'll use an interactive design-thinking approach to tackle this problem: How do you elevate both your tech staff and your tech stack to drive productivity and profitability across a digitally transformed project lifecycle? We'll consider the "What If" scenarios: What if we flip and elevate our perspective? What if, in addition to considering information as knowledge, knowledge is considered information and this big data is compiled, managed, and analyzed as an IT tool? What if we consider knowledge management as a productivity enhancement tool that integrates with any existing learning technology and acts as a catalyst to elevate technology adoption? What if we adopt AI power to augment human input and get faster at developing custom workflow training to develop industry skills and solve real-world challenges? We will identify insights into team engagement and productivity with a direct relationship to competitiveness, project planning, profitability, and ROI.

The life of a model begins in design, or even in early concept stages, but it extends throughout the project lifecycle. It takes on new shape and functions. It's enriched as it progresses from one team to the next. And it acts as a living representation of the project long after handover. Join us as we discuss ways to break traditional silos between teams and use Autodesk's design and construction solutions to author, prepare, and use models. This interactive workshop presented by our product development team will focus on what's to come in ACC and beyond.

The ability to effectively manage and coordinate tasks is critical for success in construction. Centralized scheduling and planning using the Autodesk Construction Cloud Schedule tool can significantly streamline project management by providing a unified view of all activities. By crafting interconnected plans alongside standalone plans, project managers and teams can ensure that every piece of the project puzzle fits perfectly with the others. This integration allows for seamless transitions of specific tasks from broader schedules to targeted plans, facilitating better resource allocation and timeline accuracy. In this session, we will cover a step-by-step process/workflow demonstrating how to import, collaborate, and manage third-party schedules within Autodesk Build Schedule.

ERP integrations typically take months to scope, configure, and deploy. That didn't work for Satterfield & Pontikes when they were switching from Procore to Autodesk Build and had a tight timeline to get on board with Autodesk's Cost Management. What they needed was a turn-key solution that would help them onboard within days, and support customization as they rolled out new workflows. They partnered with their Autodesk global platinum partner, Graitec, and adopted their new cloud application ERP SYNC — a cutting edge data synchronisation platform powered by Agave This session brings together experts from Satterfield & Pontikes, Graitec, Agave, and Autodesk to discuss the successful implementation of this integration under a challenging timeline. Discover how you can apply similar strategies to streamline integration between your own ERP and Cost Management systems.
