Got cost data from your active construction projects? Join us for an experience designed to demonstrate one of many ways to put it to work using Autodesk construction products. We have created for you in this hands-on lab a database of historic unit costs harvested from "your" Autodesk Construction Cloud Cost Management instance. Using ProEst, each attendee will be guided through use of the basic tools needed to build their first estimate. Lastly, each estimator will learn how their estimate can be sent over to Autodesk Construction Cloud Cost Management following award of their contract.

The life of a model begins in design, or even in early concept stages, but it extends throughout the project lifecycle. It takes on new shape and functions. It's enriched as it progresses from one team to the next. And it acts as a living representation of the project long after handover. Join us as we discuss ways to break traditional silos between teams and use Autodesk's design and construction solutions to author, prepare, and use models. This interactive workshop presented by our product development team will focus on what's to come in ACC and beyond.

It's never been more important or possible to break the barriers between the office and the field. Project controls and field management are becoming two ends of the same process. Join this interactive roadmap workshop where our product development team will walk through the future of Autodesk Build covering Project Management, Cost Management, and Field Collaboration, including upcoming features in GCPay and Payapps.

The ability to effectively manage and coordinate tasks is critical for success in construction. Centralized scheduling and planning using the Autodesk Construction Cloud Schedule tool can significantly streamline project management by providing a unified view of all activities. By crafting interconnected plans alongside standalone plans, project managers and teams can ensure that every piece of the project puzzle fits perfectly with the others. This integration allows for seamless transitions of specific tasks from broader schedules to targeted plans, facilitating better resource allocation and timeline accuracy. In this session, we will cover a step-by-step process/workflow demonstrating how to import, collaborate, and manage third-party schedules within Autodesk Build Schedule.

Human capital development is a critical component of success, both for Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) firms and the individuals they employ.

The Navisworks integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud Model Coordination fosters collaboration among multiple stakeholders in a shared environment. It enables teams to allocate clashes to respective teams and flag them in authoring software for prompt resolution. Conventional clash detection workflows encounter challenges like nonstreamlined processes and prolonged procedures, as well as an absence of a shared collaborative environment, a need to sift through lengthy clash reports, inadequate documentation, and a lack of methods to assign clashes. Integrating Navisworks with Model Coordination offers a streamlined workflow and a closed-loop clash management system, and it provides comprehensive documentation and enhances coordination, productivity, and efficiency. In this lab, you'll learn to use the Model Coordination API in Navisworks for clash detection, and use the Issues add-in in Revit software for issue management and clash location, ensuring seamless coordination. Overcome your challenges and capitalize on the power of Autodesk tools.

Contractors with subcontractor default insurance programs face ever increasing risk from varying sectors: COVID-19 recovery, recessionary concerns, and rising costs of supply and labor. Ensuring that projects are awarded to the right subcontractor is paramount to deterring potential defaults. The combination of BuildingConnected and TradeTapp has led to a 90% prequalification rate in advance of award. By working bid packages with operations, risk management can detect potential problems and mitigate in pre-award.

Research findings emphasize the importance of diligent and frequent progress tracking when aiming to achieve project goals. In the context of construction, there is a clear correlation between meticulous progress tracking and project success. Once a construction project starts, the efficiency and speed of field execution serve as the primary indicators of the project's advancement. It is critical to understand how teams are progressing with daily tasks; this is where construction progress tracking tools become indispensable. By using tools like Assets, teams can visualize progress directly on models or drawings, enabling a quicker understanding of areas lagging behind or requiring more attention. Furthermore, connecting asset information directly to the models or drawings facilitates rapid access to specific asset information, enhancing overall project efficiency.

Construction companies want to keep their project team in their operations tools and their accounting team in enterprise resource planning (ERP) with a tech solution that automatically synchronizes both systems, eliminating the tedious and error-prone work of double data entry. However, integrating these systems hasn't been easy and could take weeks to months. That changed with Agave's platform approach. Agave built its own customizable, turnkey solution that allows construction companies to connect their systems in less than an hour and turn on automatic sync workflows right away. Join a panel of construction companies (Satterfield & Pontikes, Brinkman, Hamel, and more) to discuss their ERP sync journeys, and see how you can make job costing always accurate and up to date at your company.
