SAN RAFAEL, Calif.,
Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced Autodesk
BuildTM, a new project and field management solution and
part of Autodesk Construction Cloud®, is now available
to users globally. Initially announced at Autodesk University
2020, Autodesk Build now provides construction teams with a single
solution for project management, quality, safety, cost and closeout
by connecting data, workflows and teams in one highly-configurable
environment. Easy to deploy, adopt and use, Autodesk Build unifies
best-in-class features from BIM 360 and PlanGrid and adds powerful
new capabilities to make information immediately available across
the entire construction team. Owners, general contractors and
specialty contractors can enhance project quality by relying on
Autodesk Build for real-time visibility that keeps teams in sync,
improves collaboration, mitigates project risk and enables
data-driven decision making.
"Our teams need the right technology to achieve outstanding
results," says Barton Malow Holdings Senior VDC Manager
Ted Jennings. "By bringing together
the best of BIM 360 and PlanGrid and adding even more project
management firepower, Autodesk Build is both a simple and robust
solution. Connecting our teams and data across projects allows us
to supercharge our work with more streamlined document, safety and
cost management, and deliver on our quality standards."
Autodesk Build provides construction teams the power to:
- Manage projects more efficiently – Teams can configure
workflows within Autodesk Build so those who need access to
information such as RFIs, submittals, meeting minutes and daily
reports can do so at any stage of a project. With the relevant
workflow data instantly at their fingertips, project managers can
readily analyze activities and make data-driven decisions to keep
projects on track. Information from all project workflows is
immediately connected in Autodesk Docs, the common data environment
(CDE), to simplify overall project management.
- Maximize cross-team collaboration – Autodesk Build
facilitates real-time collaboration between the field and office,
enabling teams to manage project quality from their desktops,
laptops and smart mobile devices, and keep everyone engaged in
jobsite safety. The PlanGrid Build app, purpose-built for mobile
field collaboration and included in Autodesk Build, empowers the
field to stay connected to the latest quality planning, punchlist
and issue management, as well as perform quality assurance and
quality control tasks. Field and office teams can also manage
safety planning, training, observations and inspections from the
Autodesk Build platform to keep jobsites productive and safe.
- Digitize and centralize document management – Autodesk
Build consolidates document management and provides a single source
of truth to ensure all team members across the construction project
lifecycle can access the correct information they need when they
need it, regardless of whether they're in the office or field.
Document control, versioning and approval capabilities that support
2D sheets, 3D models and easy-to-share markups help keep everyone
on the same page to minimize miscommunications and avoidable
mistakes that can lead to rework.
- Streamline cost management – A configurable and
connected cost management module in Autodesk Build helps teams keep
track of any budget changes from one main location. Teams can
manage budget creation and contract administration, change orders,
cost forecasts and payment applications alongside a real-time view
of project health to make informed decisions and mitigate risks to
project costs.
As part of Autodesk Construction Cloud, a subscription to
Autodesk Build includes and is reinforced by:
- Autodesk Docs – A centralized document management
solution that underpins Autodesk Build's CDE, providing users with
seamless navigation and integrated workflows to create a single
source of truth across the project lifecycle.
- Insights – Analytics capabilities that support the
ability to collect, interpret and export project data; encompasses
Construction IQ artificial intelligence to identify and
mitigate risk.
- Administration – Project setup tools including
centralized user management and permissioning capabilities,
templates and single-sign-on.
"Our customers need to connect workflows across the construction
project management lifecycle," said Stephanie Ho, global head of customer success,
Autodesk Construction Solutions. "For Autodesk Build, we developed
a strong, cohesive foundation that not only delivers on the vision
of connected construction, but that can scale with customers'
growth. Our customers can rely on Autodesk Build to manage their
workflows more efficiently and leverage data collected across their
teams to drive continuous improvement."
