Learn how using Pype and BIM 360 software creates a dream team that can improve the construction documentation processes. From the very beginning of a project, Pype and BIM 360 work in tandem to process and review project specifications that are then easily stored in BIM 360 Docs software and submittals. Pype automates the creation of your submittal register, while BIM 360 lets you review and process submittals efficiently. The 1-2 punch of Pype and BIM 360 knocks out monotony and wasted work hours, and provides unprecedented insight into project scope.

Have you ever wondered what a fully integrated data management platform looks like? This class will provide insights from BIM360 partners and industry leading platforms and as we explore the Preconstruction space. Hear from SmartBid, Sigma Estimates, Pype and OnTarget to help unlock better workflows within BIM360 for your projects!

During this session, Satyam Verma of Pype will broadly cover the benefits of AI-based automation during preconstruction. Specifically, he will focus on how automating one process - scanning and parsing your spec book - can help teams bid more accurately, get to work sooner, and save time exponentially throughout the project lifecycle. One of the largest hurdles during bidding is quickly and accurately breaking down the available specs for estimating. The more in-depth a team can examine these specs, the better bid they will create. In lieu of manual searching, AI solutions can examine specs for specific requirements, including long-lead and sole-source items, and present that information to the estimating team. This approach uses the specs to create a clear scope of work, letting general contractors identify potential subcontractors even before they bid on the project.

In March of 2022, Lydig Construction embarked on a journey to revamp its technology infrastructure. The company had outgrown its previous project management platform, which was not only lacking in functionality but also becoming less cost-effective. That's when Lydig discovered Autodesk Forma, a platform that promised to meet the firm's needs and take its operations to the next level. Lydig partnered with Autodesk and evaluated the platform before deciding to make the bold move of transitioning its entire technology infrastructure to Autodesk Forma (Forma Data Management, Forma Build, and Autodesk Cost). During this session, we will delve into the partnership between Lydig Construction and Autodesk. We'll explore their evaluation process, the decision-making journey, and the status of the firm's configuration and implementation. Join us in discovering how Lydig Construction embarked on this exciting and transformative journey to achieve greater efficiency and success.

Efficiently managing project specifications and submittals is often challenging. Autodesk Forma provides a "spec-tacular" solution powered by artificial intelligence (AI). This session will reveal how the AI-powered AutoSpecs tool in the Autodesk Forma platform automates precise submittal log generation. It seamlessly integrates results directly into the Submittals tool in Forma Build software, significantly reducing manual entry and potential errors. We’ll also demonstrate how the Autodesk Forma Specifications module simplifies publishing, ensures compliance with industry standards, and enables real-time spec updates across your project lifecycle. Additionally, you’ll discover how Autodesk Assistant AI transforms complex specifications into actionable insights, enhancing collaboration and productivity. Join us to explore how Autodesk Forma spec modules and AI work together to optimize specification management, accelerate preconstruction processes, and deliver projects more effectively and accurately.

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 Forma 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.

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 Forma Build software and Pype Closeout to help improve its closeout processes. This class will cover topics that focus on how Autodesk Forma 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.

Notorious B.I.G. once said, "Mo' money, mo' problems.” While that does ring true for some construction projects, we've found that using the Autodesk Forma Forma Build suite of tools has resulted in fewer hours spent doing non-value-added tasks, which allows us to focus on solving the real problems. This technical instruction will cover how SSOE Group has deployed the RFI, Submittals, AutoSpec, Meeting Minutes, and Schedule modules to minimize risk on our projects and streamline fragmented activities. If you're a project manager (PM), assistant PM, engineer, architect, designer, or business owner, you won't want to miss this deep dive. We'll also cover how to use the reports module on generating automated reminders and executive and owner summaries so team members can focus on their main jobs. The processes we will showcase have been vetted on projects ranging from outpatient surgery centers to school renovations to semiconductor and battery factories.

Immersive technologies are often promoted as the future of model coordination, yet most teams remain stuck in screen sharing and pilot demos. This session challenges that pattern, presenting a practical playbook for using shared immersive space as a deliberate coordination tool rather than a novelty. Through real project scenarios, it shows when XR enables faster understanding and better decisions, when desktop review works better, and how to structure immersive meetings so technical and non-technical stakeholders collaborate effectively. Hardware, visualization, and platforms matter but only when paired with clear intent, facilitation, and decision focused workflows.
