SAN RAFAEL, Calif.,
Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Autodesk University – Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK)
today announced a new set of products for Autodesk Construction
Cloud that further connect data, workflows and teams throughout the
entire building lifecycle, from design to operations. Built on a
unified platform and common data environment, the new products –
Autodesk Build, Autodesk Quantify and Autodesk BIM Collaborate –
empower general contractors, specialty trades, designers and owners
to drive better business outcomes. Construction teams will have a
comprehensive construction management platform with all data in one
central location to simplify collaboration, proactively anticipate
project changes and provide data-driven guidance for organizational
improvement.
"Almost a year ago we introduced Autodesk Construction Cloud,
sharing our vision for the most powerful and complete portfolio of
construction management products. The new products we announced
today represent a huge milestone for connected construction, with
Autodesk Build providing an entirely new approach to project
management," said Jim Lynch, vice
president and general manager of Autodesk Construction Solutions.
"We're continuing to deliver on our promise of helping builders
across the world catalyze their digital transformation and make
construction more predictable, safe and sustainable."
The three new product offerings announced today include:
- Autodesk Build: Unites the best of PlanGrid and BIM
360 with additional new functionality to create a comprehensive
field and project management solution. Autodesk Build also includes
the PlanGrid Build mobile app with additional new capabilities for
field workers.
- Autodesk Quantify: Empowers estimators to automate
2D and 3D quantification from a single comprehensive platform.
- Autodesk BIM Collaborate: Enables project teams to align
and execute on design intent by managing the entire design
collaboration and coordination workflow from a single solution to
reduce rework, improve productivity and accelerate project
delivery.
As part of the unified Autodesk Construction Cloud platform,
every new product is reinforced by:
- Autodesk Docs – underpins the common data
environment for every unified product with centralized document
management, providing users with seamless navigation and integrated
workflows to create a single source of truth across the
project lifecycle.
- Insights – delivers analytics from the data
collected and analyzed, as well as the ability to export that data;
encompasses Construction IQ artificial intelligence to identify and
mitigate risk.
- Administration – provides centralized user
management and permissioning, templates and other tools for
project setup, as well as a single authentication method for any
unified product.
"The continuous and fluid flow of data is the backbone of our
teams' success, with our healthcare projects in particular
requiring tremendous scrutiny in inspections and documentation,"
said Amy Kozlowski, project manager
at Herrero Builders. "Autodesk Construction Cloud delivers a
unified platform where data and information are centralized. We can
immediately get new design details into the hands of
preconstruction and construction teams, proactively make
adjustments in the field and better understand the health of our
project portfolio. With Autodesk Build, we will be able to connect
critical field and project management workflows, powering seamless
collaboration across locations and devices. Just as importantly,
the new products are intuitive and simple to use. Autodesk
inherently understands the construction industry and provides
technology that fuels success across the entire building
lifecycle."
"Construction is about building, not learning how to navigate
complicated software," said Sameer
Merchant, head of product development, Autodesk Construction
Solutions. "Technology should be easy-to-use and effortless to
scale – if a construction company grows, its software should grow
with it. In developing our new offerings, we incorporated the
best-in-class features of existing Autodesk construction products
into a common web and mobile framework and integrated them with a
shared data platform. As a result, the most loved capabilities will
be immediately available within Autodesk Build, Autodesk Quantify
and Autodesk BIM Collaborate."
Powerful construction management for the entire building
lifecycle from a single platform
Autodesk's new
construction management products will connect construction teams,
data and workflows across the headquarters, office and jobsite.
Available in early 2021, initially offered products include:
Autodesk Build
Autodesk Build delivers a connected
set of field execution and project management tools for builders in
a single platform that is easy to deploy, adopt and use, while
ensuring information sharing and workflows are performed in a
tightly-controlled and highly-configurable environment.
By capitalizing on best-in-class features of BIM 360 and
PlanGrid while also delivering new functionality, Autodesk Build is
integrated with data from all other construction workflows so teams
can handle workflows such as project management, quality, safety,
cost and project closeout with a single log-in. Autodesk Build
establishes a single source of truth for the entire team to
minimize miscommunication and mitigate project risk, while
standardized data collection for every project enables leaders to
make data-driven decisions.
Autodesk Build also enables real-time collaboration between
teams in the field and the office with the PlanGrid Build mobile
app. With capabilities such RFI creation and issue tracking, and
up-to-date drawings and markups, PlanGrid Build ensures changes are
immediately available to reduce miscommunication, errors and
rework.

Autodesk Quantify
Autodesk Quantify is a
comprehensive quantification solution for estimating teams that
enables both 2D and 3D takeoffs in one cloud-based tool. With
Autodesk Quantify, estimators can quickly and accurately quantify
elements from both 2D plans and 3D models and manage these elements
alongside subsequent documents in a single environment. With all
data in a centralized project location, teams can increase
transparency and collaboration on their estimates and reduce risk
for faster and more competitive bidding.
"Traditionally our estimating process has required multiple
solutions, none of which connect or integrate with each other,"
said John Mack, BIM Department
Manager, Dome Construction. "Autodesk Quantify will effectively
supercharge the way we do our estimating and create a truly
collaborative, customizable takeoff process. For example, with our
takeoff data based in the cloud rather than on a desktop, we'll be
able to collaborate with different estimators on quantity takeoffs
across MEP, concrete, millwork and others all at the same time.
Autodesk Quantify is a precision tool that will help our
preconstruction team move away from spreadsheets and zero in on
perfecting our takeoff workflow."

Autodesk Quantify, visit our blog post here.
Autodesk BIM Collaborate
Autodesk BIM Collaborate
brings design collaboration, model coordination and document
management to Autodesk Construction Cloud to reduce rework, improve
productivity, and accelerate project delivery. Built upon the
unified platform, Autodesk BIM Collaborate empowers project teams
to align and execute on design intent and constructability by
managing the entire design collaboration and coordination workflow
within a single, cloud-based solution in a common data environment.
Features such as project timeline, aggregated model viewing and
change review provide design teams with deep insights into the
real-time status of the design phase and help quickly contextualize
changes, while model coordination capabilities like clash detection
and issues management ensure the highest quality designs are
delivered to the field. A BIM Collaborate Pro option will also
offer users Revit Cloud Worksharing, Collaboration for Civil 3D and
Collaboration for Plant 3D.
