Lean construction defines the “should” aspect of CPM (critical path method) master scheduling and the “can, will, and did” elements of weekly work planning. The challenge is that the master schedule is created by scheduling experts, where the weekly work planning happens in the field with the superintendent and the trades. The Skanska team will share how they maximize the master schedules to provide a project-level view of the time and resources requirements, and how they utilize short-term work plans to enable their construction teams to deliver projects on time and reduce waste with collaborative project planning and daily progress monitoring. This talk will highlight that the key for better project planning is the effective connectivity and data flow between long- and short-term schedules for different stakeholders on the project. With the introduction of both Schedule and Work Plan in Autodesk’s Build software, customers will have the tools to manage both project level schedules and weekly work plans in the unified platform.

Have you ever fallen victim to unforeseen budget changes and wished you had a tool to keep track of them in real time? BIM 360 Cost Management software is a great tool for contractors needing to track their projects’ cost and budget changes. This class will take a deep dive into the details of Cost Management in BIM 360. We will demonstrate how to set up the Cost Management module in BIM 360, create a sample budget, use budget code templates, and work with change orders and cost items. We will include detailed examples and provide attendees with references and takeaways.

The BIM 360 Product Management Team will review the recent enhancements to the Cost Management module and share priorities for our product road map. Learn about how BIM 360 software can help you create and monitor your project budget and manage all of the change orders and adjustments throughout the project.

This class will focus on how to make the most of tools you probably already have access to in Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection and Autodesk Construction Cloud to start processing, analyzing, and maximizing drone photogrammetry data to improve your construction processes. Once at scale, many companies will likely opt for a partner product designed especially for this entire workflow. But it's crucial to get buy-in before making this investment. At BL Harbert International, we found that the best way to accomplish this is by providing concrete examples throughout the company of useful applications on our own projects. To achieve that, we've used several tools already at our disposal in AEC Collection and Autodesk Construction Cloud. This class will step through a workflow of processing imagery in ReCap Photo, then analyzing in either AutoCAD software or Civil 3D software, and finally sharing with stakeholders and making annotations in BIM 360 software or Autodesk Build software.

Are you burned out by the endless barrage of project emails? Have you spent endless hours looking for one document? How about the frustration of discovering that you’re working on the wrong version? Arcadis has found a solution that resolves these issues in addition to solving a clients’ persistent request for a single “source of truth” in one streamlined technology stack. Before, we needed a combination of PlanGrid, BIM 360 software, and Pype to begin solving these problems—but the lack of a single source of truth was creating a new level of frustration. Well, Autodesk is ready to release a comprehensive solution to all the above challenges. Autodesk has revolutionized project lifecycle delivery, streamlined productivity, and afforded a carbon-footprint-reduction solution for every project with new Autodesk Build software. Join us as we present how it was done on two projects for the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission’s Toll Collection System Modernization project.

Are you or your company curious about how to evaluate, select, and deploy project management software across your enterprise? This session will take a deep dive into how Messer Construction evaluated, selected, and deployed Autodesk Build software across 180 projects and 4,500 licensed users in nine months. We’ll lay out the processes and techniques the company used to scale deployment and adoption coming from another project management software solution.

Construction projects continue to have tight deadlines and budgets, as well as increased competition. It’s crucial for general contractors to capture, manage, and analyze key project data and communications. Autodesk Build software can not only reduce project risk, it can also reduce unforeseen costs that can happen due to miscommunication errors or lack of data for decision making. This demonstration will show how the use of Autodesk Build between internal and external stakeholders can save time and money by making key processes more efficient. We’ll highlight new collaboration capabilities and key implementation insights from existing customer stories.

In this case study, we’ll present the challenges involved in designing a set of software solutions to address F1 track construction process and asset management. This class will explore all available technologies such as Civil 3D software, Autodesk Build software, and Autodesk Forge software, but we’ll especially examine how they demanded integration to address specific race-track construction aspects. We’ll present customization scenarios and explore specific business. We’ll also present the positive impact we achieved by using Autodesk Build, Civil 3D, and customization through Autodesk Forge. We’ll analyze and present tight deadlines and dynamic changes to the process and to the pace of development from a stakeholder's perspective.

We’ve pulled out all of the stops when it comes to the tools we use in building information modeling (BIM) coordination. In this session, we’ll explore the various plug-ins for Navisworks software and Revit software that we use to streamline the BIM coordination process, and we’ll show how we’ve optimized our workflow using a combination of Model Coordination and Navisworks to achieve an issue-free model. We’ll discuss setting up the Model Coordination space and breaking up coordination models into manageable sizes. We’ll cover clash grouping, automated viewpoint creation in Navisworks using HoloBuilder, and the creation of 3D room tags using Dynamo. We’ll also discuss using search sets, selection sets, appearance profilers, batch utilities, automated NWC exports, and the use of Autodesk Build software during coordination.

Schedules are at the center of every construction project. Yet, getting everyone on the same page is hard—and if they’re not on the same page, it's risky. Can schedules have a clear place of truth where everyone can get the information they need? Can schedule communication be streamlined and more efficient? In this class, health-care provider tirol kliniken will share how it used the schedule tool in Autodesk Build software to collaborate on project schedules. These best practices will help deliver a total of €800+ million in projects on time, and save enormous resources on schedule coordination. Along with tirol kliniken, the Autodesk Schedule product team will share the benefits of centralizing schedules in the cloud, and highlight key features on the road map for Schedule.

We all have to start somewhere, and getting started is often the most difficult endeavor of all. In this class, we'll begin at the beginning, and look at how anyone can get started with Autodesk Construction Cloud. Come and see how the platform is more than just a construction tool for organizing and sharing project data. We'll look at Autodesk Docs software and see how it may be used as a common data environment (CDE) that follows ISO 19650 procedures and respects the information management method defined in the standards. With Autodesk BIM Collaborate and Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, we can work collaboratively with Autodesk Construction Cloud. Also, we’ll take a look at Autodesk Build software's toolset for the management of all of our project information, as well as Autodesk Takeoff software's real-time estimation view.

It is no secret that change is difficult. And a culture based on innovation and efficiency is critical for success in our industry. We’ve seen great progress over the last couple of years using highly collaborative workflows and out-of-the box thinking surrounding the way we do work. Autodesk Construction Cloud, and the partnership with our customer success team, has empowered our enterprise to implement technology in ways that allow us to work closer—even from afar. This presentation will cover Barton Malow’s strategy surrounding the implementation of both BIM 360 software and Autodesk Build software on our projects. We’ll cover the use of on-demand training to standardize success, the use of critical data to verify company-wide adoption, and our collaboration with clients to promote unity in process. This class will serve as a down-to-earth understanding of the challenges we’ve faced, and how we properly navigated those challenges to galvanize Autodesk Construction Cloud as our gold standard for success.

Arcadis was able to reduce the risk and improve productivity in the processing of hundreds of change orders for the California High-Speed Rail project. The team struggled using Microsoft SharePoint in the management of the volumes of information, and had no automated way for quantity verification. Introducing Autodesk Build software into this large infrastructure project provided a better platform in the organization of the information and data. Adding Autodesk Takeoff software to the team’s workflow improved the productivity of verifying quantities of the submitted change orders, boosting estimate productivity by 50%.
