LAS VEGAS, Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Autodesk
University - Today at Connect & Construct Summit, Autodesk,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK) unveiled Autodesk Construction Cloud™, which
combines advanced technology, a unique builders network and
predictive insights to connect people and data across the entire
building lifecycle, from design through operations.

At the center of Autodesk Construction Cloud are best-of-breed
construction solutions Assemble, BuildingConnected, BIM 360 and
PlanGrid. Autodesk Construction Cloud brings these solutions
together, and with Autodesk's established design authoring tools,
connects headquarters, office and field teams to increase
collaboration and productivity.
Autodesk Construction Cloud includes more than 50 new product
enhancements, as well as deeper integrations between each product
to allow data to flow across all stages of construction. It also
includes powerful new artificial intelligence functionality that
helps construction teams identify and mitigate design risks before
problems occur — reducing delays, rework and costs.
Autodesk Construction Cloud includes three core elements that
give construction companies a competitive advantage in the
industry:
- Advanced Technology: Best-in-class software
solutions built for simplicity and power — uniting headquarters,
office and field teams from design through construction and
operations.
- Builders Network: The industry's largest network of
owners, designers, builders and trades, enabling each to connect
with the right partners and projects.
- Predictive Insights: AI-driven analysis of
previously siloed project data provides builders with powerful
insights to predict outcomes and reduce risk.
"Despite the tremendous challenges construction companies face
to connect huge volumes of data and people, no one has delivered on
the promise of unified construction from design to operations —
until now," said Jim Lynch, vice
president and general manager, Autodesk Construction Solutions.
"With Autodesk Construction Cloud, we're introducing a new era of
connected construction and offering unrivaled integration between
headquarters, office and field teams. We've never been more
dedicated nor clearer in our mission to empower designers,
contractors and owners to meet the world's rapidly expanding
construction needs, while helping to make building more
predictable, safe and sustainable."
"We need to be able to measure ourselves, look to the future and
anticipate project risk. This insight is what's missing today, and
is a key driver in moving the industry forward," said Jenny Moshea, head of technology at Sellen
Construction. "Autodesk Construction Cloud brings together advanced
technology—which Autodesk has always been known for—with the
network of the building community—which is the core of what we do
as an industry—underpinned by predictive insights. This is the next
evolution, the connected tissue that brings it all together so the
construction lifecycle is no longer disjointed."
1. Autodesk Construction Cloud
increases technology depth with 50+ new enhancements and makes data
flow with integrations across all products
As part of the launch of Autodesk Construction Cloud, the
company is unveiling more than 50 new product enhancements that
span the entire building lifecycle from design through operations.
Most enhancements are available today, with a few rolling out over
the next several weeks.
Highlights of the new innovations include:
- Expanding support within Assemble for the latest version of
Autodesk design tools AutoCAD, Revit and Navisworks.
- Empowering subcontractors to immediately quantify 2D views in
BuildingConnected BidBoard Pro.
- Enabling greater collaboration, field teams can now take videos
directly within the PlanGrid app. Along with improved photo
management, teams are able to provide richer commentary from the
jobsite.
- Enhancing all BIM 360 modules, along with deeper feature
integrations – such as between Construction IQ and BIM 360's design
review capabilities, called Design Risk Management, which helps
reduce the likelihood of RFIs and change orders originating from
design issues.
To empower construction teams to reduce miscommunication, errors
and rework, Autodesk is focused on providing the entire
construction team with access to crucial data whenever it's needed.
Over the past 18 months, the company has rolled out 18 different
integrations, allowing data to flow between all its construction
products. These include integrations between Revit and PlanGrid,
BIM 360 Design and Civil 3D, BuildingConnected and PlanGrid, and
BIM 360 and Assemble, to name just a few.
Built with BIM 360's common data environment (CDE), Autodesk
Construction Cloud ensures the whole team is collaborating on an
integrated record set. Beyond the current capabilities, Autodesk is
investing in supporting our customers in meeting ISO-19650.

on the new Autodesk Construction Cloud blog.
2. Industry's
largest network of construction professionals helps bring
together the right teams
Autodesk Construction Cloud encompasses the industry's largest
ecosystem of owners, designers, builders and trades, including
nearly one million subcontractors who use
BuildingConnected. The Builders Network enables owners and
builders to connect to the right partners to create the best teams
for any project anywhere — reducing risk, decreasing rework
and increasing profitability.
3. AI-powered
analytics identifies risks before they become rework
Autodesk Construction Cloud encompasses powerful artificial
intelligence that helps construction teams identify and mitigate
risks before problems occur — helping to reduce delays, rework and
cost. Technology such as TradeTapp, which arms general contractors
with subcontractor risk analysis during the planning phase, and
Construction IQ, which uses algorithms to prioritize the highest
risk projects, subcontractors and issues that need attention during
the build phase, gives teams the insight and confidence to make
informed decisions and build right the first time.
For example, according to Autodesk's data science team, more
than 70 percent of RFIs in construction are attributed to design
issues or documentation errors, which often escalate into costly
change orders and even larger litigation disputes. Design Risk
Management applies Construction IQ's machine learning capabilities
to the design review process that happens within BIM 360's Document
Management module, enabling GCs to easily identify and predict as
early as possible the design and constructability issues that may
turn into costly RFI's.
"Autodesk's end-to-end system for the entire building lifecycle
— from design through to long-term maintenance — is giving us a
competitive advantage. Using the advanced technology and predictive
insights of Autodesk Construction Cloud, we achieved a 20 percent
gain in quality and safety on a high profile project," said
Michael Murphy, digital construction
operations manager at BAM Ireland. "Autodesk Construction Cloud is
bringing us one step closer to a unified solution with all our data
in the same platform, so that information is no longer in a silo or
lost. We're strongly aligned with Autodesk in pursuit of better
construction across the globe."
