Everyone loves closeouts, right? Said no one ever. Finishing a project is tough—making sure everything's installed, punch lists are completed, permits are closed out, and everything's clean ... and don't forget the turnover package. In addition to closeout being one of the most difficult phases of a project, the way you finish a project is the last impression you leave with a client, further amplifying the pressure to succeed. This session will explore how Brinkman Construction implemented Autodesk Build software and Pype Closeout to help improve its closeout processes. This class will cover topics that focus on how Autodesk Construction Cloud tools streamlined Brinkman's process with fewer tools, saved time over traditional workflows, enabled turnover tasks to start sooner, increased visibility, and helped drive accountability.

ITC Limited has developed a diverse range of infrastructure across various asset classes. However, the company recognized the need to improve project management by making outcomes more predictable. To achieve this, ITC looked toward digitalization and a cultural shift by embracing new technologies.

Nearly all design firms today produce intelligent models created by building information modeling (BIM), yet the rich data these models hold is often underused or merely labeled for "informational purposes." This session will dive into the transformative potential of fully integrating intelligent models into the contractual framework. We will examine the advantages of intelligent-model dissemination and envision a future where intelligent models are standard contract documents. To demonstrate this idea, we will present a case study from a $1 billion laboratory project at a local university, where intelligent models were successfully incorporated into the contract documents.

There are rising needs for higher productivity, influenced by factors like overtime regulations, project complexity, and reduced proficiency among management. We were able to efficiently manage large-scale projects without delays by adapting Autodesk Construction Cloud and collaborating with project stakeholders. Drawing management relied heavily on Excel, which can be questionable due to difficulties in visualizing progress and understanding interrelationships with drawings and order changes. These miscommunications cause delays in 20% of projects. To address this, Autodesk Construction Cloud can not only integrate data with models, but also allow for better visualization, especially during schedule changes, with the goal of eliminating misunderstandings and material order delays. We achieve zero delays stemming from the procurement process across all Autodesk Construction Cloud-adapted projects. This initiative is then integrated into on-site construction progress management.

The construction industry faces significant pressure to undergo digital transformation, necessitating the integration of all users, data, and stakeholders into a unified common data environment (CDE). Users seek flexibility in the platform and the ability to use multiple applications alongside Autodesk Construction Cloud. The Copenhagen Metro embarked on the challenge of transitioning to Autodesk Construction Cloud for the design and construction of the new M5 Metro Line. This presentation aims to share our journey of harnessing the capabilities of Workato to establish efficient workflows and automations. These initiatives facilitated Autodesk Construction Cloud implementation and enhanced user satisfaction of the platform. With cooperation from Autodesk, we've managed to speed up implementation of Autodesk Docs and Autodesk Build modules, decrease time spent on tedious self-repeating tasks, increase quality, and use the functionalities of other tools by integrating applications with Autodesk Construction Cloud to create a holistic CDE.

In this session, we'll present the latest status of Autodesk Construction Cloud APIs. We'll discuss the APIs that have recently been added, and we'll explore what we expect to release in the near future.

In an ever-changing world of technology, organizations must continually evolve their software use to remain competitive in their industries. This is true whether you work in 3D or with the tried-and-tested 2D AutoCAD software. Openly embracing AI, incorporating automation into design data, and sharing it through Autodesk's cloud environments can also play a vital role in an organization's digital maturity. In this class, we'll discuss how to automate existing AutoCAD blocks to make them into smart, parametrically driven dynamic blocks that allow for variations when used. Dynamic blocks represent good data elements that not only allow you to maintain consistency, but also significantly reduce rework and improve productivity. Who doesn't love that! To finish, we'll discuss one last key factor in driving effective digital maturity: implementing cloud-based processes to centrally store and manage the project data, or, in this case, sharing your dynamic blocks with the other kids (or colleagues).

Sustainability and cost efficiency for residential building is more important than ever. We will present with our customer Haas an integrated workflow from the configurator, an automated detailed design process in Revit to fabrication and the construction site. This digital process allows prospects to visually configure and calculate any residential or family timber house. These visualization of the customer's request via the house configurator leads to a faster and high-quality discussion with the customer. Seamless transition from configuration to design in Autodesk Revit ensures that no extra detail design work must be carried out manually. That model is transferred into the fabrication process and finally all data is leveraged via BIM360/ACC BUILD on construction sites for project and quality management and daily logs.

Utilities, retailers, hospital operators, towercos, and other companies may need to digitalize large portfolios with thousands of existing facilities to complete their digital journeys—either to fully benefit from building information modeling (BIM) in design and construction or as a first step for the creation of their digital twins. Those same companies typically have an inventory database that is either incorrect or incomplete, but that has value nonetheless, since it may be used to connect said assets with other enterprise solutions, including maintenance and operations management. In this technical instruction session, we will present a workflow for the end-to-end digitalization of a portfolio of facilities using a component-based approach. This workflow starts with any existing inventory, uses it in Autodesk Construction Cloud Assets and Forms to capture on-site data, then switches to Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro software and Autodesk Docs software for the intelligent modeling of the facilities, and then again moves back to the Assets functionality for audit and validation.

We focus heavily on asset management and operational user cases with high impact and credible visuals, client feedback, and clear values. This also includes our virtual digital twin in Tandem that uses Postman to stream SCADA-type data to Tandem Connect and Tandem Streams to show the future of Tandem, and Info360 Plant for process modeling and analysis for a new greenfield project integrated with Tandem and all things ACC. We will tell the story of why Hazen is putting our name out there for these Autodesk tools and demonstrate why we feel they are important to the future of protecting water.

There was a time not long ago that architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) was one of the lowest-ranked industries for adoption of technology. We won't go so far as to say that AEC has become a high-tech industry—but it is surely on its way. We've seen a massive increase in the available tech across design and construction. We find ourselves dealing with multiple tech providers, constantly changing products, and implementation after implementation with our employees. For the people focused on technology, it is manageable. For field staff, preconstruction teams, and everyone else, it can be a lot to handle and take in. We spend all this time implementing a solution, and a year later a new one comes along that we're expected to learn. Managing this with our teams has been a real challenge, and it isn't going away anytime soon. We hope to communicate to everyone our strategy for managing this onslaught of new tools, our decision-making criteria for what we're moving forward with, and how to keep our teams sharp. Join us to learn more!

This panel, consisting of thought leaders from the AEC industry will explore the impact of using the digital thread for infrastructure management. We will discuss how this approach can streamline project execution, reduce time and cost waste, and provide a single source of truth for stakeholders. The panel will also cover the cost implications of not adopting a model-driven approach and the benefits of maximizing data throughout the asset lifecycle, from planning to operations. By adopting a model-based approach and maximizing the digital thread, infrastructure stakeholders can prepare for a sustainable, data-driven future that will be the catalyst for the digital twin.
