Many people look at Autodesk Construction Cloud, especially the Autodesk Build platform, and believe it's only for the construction industry. However, many design disciplines that work with the construction industry use the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform, especially architectural/design firms. While Autodesk Build is ideally set up to be a more collaborative workflow, that doesn't mean it has to be used in that way. This session will show you how our architectural firm uses different aspects of Autodesk Build before and during construction. We'll cover how our firm went from a dual-input, multiprogram workflow to using Autodesk Build for specific field workflows. We'll cover the tools we use in Autodesk Build and how we use custom forms and reports to get the output to look the way we want it to look. By using Autodesk Build workflows, we'll explain how we became more efficient in capturing data, and how we get the appropriate information into the hands of our construction partners in hours instead of days.

The evolution of design and drafting has increasingly given us tools that inform and expedite our processes. But what can we learn from the implementation of CAD, building information modeling (BIM), and now AI to prepare teams for the future of design tools? Working at a multidisciplinary design firm encompassing planning, landscape, architecture, and interiors has shown me that technology adoption and digital maturity happen at different rates. But regardless of the tools used and efficiency in practice, projects are completed. Focusing on the finished work, lessons learned can become the quantitative outcomes we bring to the beginning of projects in this era of outcome-focused process. By distilling 50+ years of digital asset creation and the analysis of completed projects, we can uncover the potential embedded within our digital archives.

Discover how we addressed design collaboration and seamless coordination among numerous designers and contractors in the world's longest immersed tunnel. During the basic design, 700+ models were created in Revit software to define complex elements like fire safety, lighting, ventilation, electrical, and ICA systems. To expedite progress, we implemented automations with Dynamo to swiftly model repetitive elements along the tunnel alignments. This helped us achieve a 70% time reduction in modeling and production costs. Real-time interdisciplinary collaboration was vital, along with streamlining information exchange, which Autodesk Construction Cloud facilitated as the ultimate source of truth for the 30 members involved in developing cloud-based models. IDOM dives into the details of the Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link project during the session, seeking to inspire others by showcasing the remarkable engineering feats and collaborative efforts on a global scale.

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.

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.
