Construction Cloud is today being used across a large range of projects globally. This session will demonstrate a number of use cases, including how PlanGrid is helping build and maintain railways, Assemble is being used to quantify materials in dams, BuildingConnected is being used to source subcontractors for road projects, and BIM 360 software is being used to manage complex infrastructure projects. We will also show how Autodesk partners are being used in conjunction with Construction Cloud products to help infrastructure asset owners better use the data collected on a project.

Introduced at Autodesk University 2019, Construction Cloud brings together the most powerful portfolio of construction management software products in the industry, supporting workflows spanning all phases of construction—from design, to planning, to building, to operations. There is tremendous breadth of supported workflows, depth of capabilities in each of the software products, and connectivity of data between those products. Over the past year, Autodesk has focused on three main areas of advancement with Construction Cloud: continuing investment into improving Assemble, BuildingConnected, PlanGrid, and BIM 360 software; delivering more integrations and connectivity between the products; and building a unified platform. This class will show how Construction Cloud has advanced over the course of the last 12 months, and we’ll explore the workflows from design through operations that can be supported by the products.

Join us as we have a candid and in-depth discussion about how Clayco, Inc., transitioned to the Autodesk Construction Cloud software Autodesk Build from BIM 360 and PlanGrid. This session will cover in detail the specific areas of our Autodesk Build implementation, including how we redefined account admin standards on roles and companies, how projects were onboarded to the new platform, and how Clayco, Inc., took a measured approach to its rollout of Autodesk Build modules. We will provide extensive lessons learned from our adoption, and tips on how we track the effectiveness of our Build rollout. In general, attendees will develop a deeper understanding of how a large design builder develops a framework to carefully scale up its adoption of Autodesk Build throughout its enterprise. This includes having direct and open feedback channels with key internal stakeholders, being transparent with Autodesk product managers on where improvement is specifically needed, and iteratively refining training content over time.

Learn the nuts and bolts of PlanGrid—the field’s favorite software that powers more than a million construction projects around the world. PlanGrid Consulting Manager Jessica Pollack has introduced PlanGrid to thousands of people, many of whom had never used mobile apps for construction before. Get an overview of what PlanGrid offers, and learn how to get started, and how to start using it with your teams in the field.

"If you want the same result, do the same thing. If you want something different, do something different." These words from the speaker’s leadership hit home when first heard as a young virtual design and construction (VDC) engineer after grinding through the first coordination project. After hitting road blocks with communicating issues in the coordination process, losing information in too many repositories, wasting time running back and forth to the trailer, and not having the data to learn what to do different, the speaker and team have created smarter workflows and processes to better plan, do, check, and perform their efforts.

This session is a follow-up of the class presented last year about the “Virtual construction site management with advanced workflow in BIM360” (CS468465). We will describe the improvements made this year through the adoption of the Build module including the PlanGrid Build mobile app for field workers. We’ve been widely extending the use of Construction Cloud with digitalization of other construction processes in addition of those already implemented. We are focusing our attention on setting up a workflow for safety and environmental check in the work site.Using Forge and Construction Cloud Connect, we are developing integration with other company database and Legacy IT systems, to avoid data redundancy and to build up integrated dashboards. In upcoming years we will be able to manage and improve the construction process of linear infrastructure projects with ConstructionCloud in order to improve data quality, reduce costs and time by 60%, reduce wastefulness and promote sustainability

Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is the gold standard for planning and executing capital construction projects and has been proven to deliver superior results in safety, schedule, and budget. This discussion involves a case study of how an EPC provider, APTIM, implemented AWP practices, selected software packages to support workflows, and leveraged internal stakeholders to drive adoption. The pace of key workflows such as workface planning and creation of installation work packages was immediately accelerated by the use of a platform of point solutions which includes iConstruct and BIM 360 for work packaging and the use of PlanGrid to visualize the work packages and drawings in the field. The involvement of stakeholders such as middle management and project foremen is highlighted as a key success factor. The combination of process, software, and motivated project staff resulted in a 50% improvement in the “time on tools” as measured by an independent audit conducted by ConstructX.

We’ve been working on concrete measures to make HQ-initiated digital transformation work on site in real projects. Understanding the capability of new technologies, we’ve started working closely with Autodesk to realize what we really want on site. When we tried to implement new technologies into the actual workflow, we faced various obstacles, both small and large. But we had to solve all of them. After numerous trials and errors, we’ve dramatically changed our way of working by moving all drawings and documents from paper to electronic (PlanGrid), moving data from local to cloud (BIM 360), and transforming 2D drawings into 3D models and virtual reality (VR). Our work efficiency related to drawings has improved by 30%, and we’re now also able to produce valuable outputs for our clients. We’ll talk about the challenges and possibilities for the future from a realistic point of view, because we are the people in charge at the site.

Are you burned out by the endless barrage of project emails? Have you spent endless hours looking for one document? How about the frustration of discovering that you’re working on the wrong version? Arcadis has found a solution that resolves these issues in addition to solving a clients’ persistent request for a single “source of truth” in one streamlined technology stack. Before, we needed a combination of PlanGrid, BIM 360 software, and Pype to begin solving these problems—but the lack of a single source of truth was creating a new level of frustration. Well, Autodesk is ready to release a comprehensive solution to all the above challenges. Autodesk has revolutionized project lifecycle delivery, streamlined productivity, and afforded a carbon-footprint-reduction solution for every project with new Autodesk Build software. Join us as we present how it was done on two projects for the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission’s Toll Collection System Modernization project.
