SAN FRANCISCO, July 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Autodesk, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced that Autodesk Build, the project
management and field execution solution of Autodesk Construction
Cloud, is now being used on over 8,000 active customer projects
across the globe since being made available in February 2021. Construction teams are
increasingly turning to Autodesk Build to bolster quality, safety
and cost management workflows, and connect project data across the
construction lifecycle in a single solution that is easy to deploy,
adopt and use.
Contractors and owners adopting Autodesk Build to connect their
project teams, data and workflows include:
- APTIM – an industrial construction, engineering and maintenance
firm specializing in complex government, oil, gas, chemical and
power projects
- Barton Malow – a general
contractor building commercial, institutional and industrial
projects across North America
- Boldt – a construction management firm building in the
healthcare, industrial, commercial, food and beverage and renewable
energy markets across the U.S.
- Burns & McDonnell – an engineering, construction and
architecture firm working in the critical infrastructure sectors
globally
- Polytek – a Belgian construction project management and
engineering building complex projects for pharmaceutical and food
sector clients
- Pond – an engineering, architecture, planning and construction
firm serving defense, government, corporate and private sector
clients worldwide
- Robson Communities – a residential developer creating
master-planned active adult resort communities across the
southwestern US region
Autodesk Build unifies best-in-class features from BIM 360 and
PlanGrid with powerful new capabilities to deliver a cloud
collaboration environment where information sharing and workflows
are both tightly-controlled and highly-configurable. The solution
features collaborative workspaces for project, cost, quality and
safety management, as well as field collaboration and project
closeout, and ties them all together in a common data
environment.
With the project management features available in Autodesk Build
and its PlanGrid Build app, which is purpose-built for mobile field
collaboration, teams can organize and connect on RFIs, submittals,
meeting minutes and predictive insights, staying ahead of any
issues that could result in project risks. Using the cost
management toolset, teams can enhance collaboration with project
owners and suppliers by bringing them into the system to review
contracts, change orders and payment applications securely, with
confidence that any of their sensitive information will be
safeguarded.
"Managing information across various technology systems can be
counterproductive, leaving our teams and data siloed and ultimately
resulting in increased rework, delays and risks," said Werner Herbots, CEO of Polytek. "To deliver our
projects with excellence, it's essential that we have a powerful
construction management platform to stay connected and coordinated.
Autodesk Build empowers us to manage all aspects of a project from
one single location so our workflows for RFIs, submittals, change
orders and other critical processes are all tightly connected, and
the team can easily collaborate and track progress."
"Cost management in Autodesk Build creates transparency by
gathering financial activities in a central location to easily
track status and see how a change order is progressing and
impacting budget," said Emily Rech,
program manager at Pond. "With Autodesk Build, we can remove
information silos and drive accountability across project
teams."
Autodesk Build empowers stakeholders across construction teams
to stay in sync, enhance collaboration capabilities, mitigate risks
and enable data-driven decision making by focusing on:
- Single source of truth – Autodesk Build centralizes
document management so teams can rely on a single source of truth
for the latest project information and manage discussions around
potential quality, safety, cost and schedule issues. Users only
need one login and project administrators can control permissions
for the various team members, trade partners and companies
involved.
- Connected data and teams – Project stakeholders from
multiple companies can connect in Autodesk Build for more efficient
collaboration, ensuring everyone is in sync to minimize
miscommunications and rework, and keep projects moving along
schedule. With the ability to store all project data in one place
and build integrations, teams can also connect their workflows
throughout the lifecycle of a project, from design to
operations.
- Predictive analytics and insights – Centralized data
collection initiates a strong foundation for analytics across all
workflows. Stakeholders can gain visibility into project- and
operation-level insights that uncover risks, drive efficiencies and
further boost profit margins.
"Bringing the entire project team together in Autodesk Build's
common data environment keeps everyone on the same page to minimize
errors and the need for anyone to wonder, 'Am I getting this
right?" said Jim Lynch, senior vice
president and general manager, Autodesk Construction Solutions.
"Significant adoption for Autodesk Build in the five short months
since it's been available signals that teams across the industry
are making strategic technology investments to maximize their
ability to deliver high quality projects within budgets and
timelines."
