The Paris Basket Arena stands as a remarkable testament to the power of BIM in realizing architectural excellence, sustainability, and operational efficiency.

Utilities, retailers, hospital operators, towercos, and other companies may need to digitalize large portfolios with thousands of existing facilities to complete their digital journeys—either to fully benefit from building information modeling (BIM) in design and construction or as a first step for the creation of their digital twins. Those same companies typically have an inventory database that is either incorrect or incomplete, but that has value nonetheless, since it may be used to connect said assets with other enterprise solutions, including maintenance and operations management. In this technical instruction session, we will present a workflow for the end-to-end digitalization of a portfolio of facilities using a component-based approach. This workflow starts with any existing inventory, uses it in Autodesk Construction Cloud Assets and Forms to capture on-site data, then switches to Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro software and Autodesk Docs software for the intelligent modeling of the facilities, and then again moves back to the Assets functionality for audit and validation.

Data-driven decision-making is crucial for project success, enabling informed choices and continuous improvement. Platforms like Assemble and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) store valuable data that, when used effectively, can significantly enhance project outcomes. The Power BI connector facilitates seamless data collection and organization from these platforms, allowing for smooth transfer and integration into Power BI for visualization and analysis. Project teams can leverage these insights to optimize project progress by identifying areas for improvement and potential risks, enabling proactive issue prevention and resolution. This minimizes costs, delays, and quality problems. Additionally, retrospective data analysis allows learning from past successes and failures, leading to more informed decisions for future projects. This data-driven approach fosters a culture of continuous learning and improvement, resulting in increased competitiveness and client satisfaction.

Nearly all design firms today produce intelligent models created by building information modeling (BIM), yet the rich data these models hold is often underused or merely labeled for "informational purposes." This session will dive into the transformative potential of fully integrating intelligent models into the contractual framework. We will examine the advantages of intelligent-model dissemination and envision a future where intelligent models are standard contract documents. To demonstrate this idea, we will present a case study from a $1 billion laboratory project at a local university, where intelligent models were successfully incorporated into the contract documents.

Join Ryan McMahon, general manager of Autodesk Informed Design to gain insights on how this platform tool enables Industrialized Construction. Roadmap and feature highlights as well as industry imact will be covered in this talk.

Believing that perfect BIM models are essential for project success is a common misconception. This session debunks that myth, highlighting that the quest for perfect models is not only unrealistic but also uneconomical, especially for standard projects. We will discuss how stakeholder expectations differ, making a universally "perfect" BIM-model virtually impossible. Crucially, I will introduce strategies to manage imperfect BIM models effectively, using tools and technology like AI that help contractors work with imperfections as they do in 2D. Learn how embracing imperfect models can cut costs, save time, and provide a competitive advantage.

Sustainability and cost efficiency for residential building is more important than ever. We will present with our customer Haas an integrated workflow from the configurator, an automated detailed design process in Revit to fabrication and the construction site. This digital process allows prospects to visually configure and calculate any residential or family timber house. These visualization of the customer's request via the house configurator leads to a faster and high-quality discussion with the customer. Seamless transition from configuration to design in Autodesk Revit ensures that no extra detail design work must be carried out manually. That model is transferred into the fabrication process and finally all data is leveraged via BIM360/ACC BUILD on construction sites for project and quality management and daily logs.

Andrew Cameron, project manager with Hensel Phelps, will share his insights from pioneering 360-degree reality capture on his project, the $1.2 billion Harvey Milk Terminal 1 at the San Francisco International Airport, since 2016. He and his team of 16 field engineers have worked closely with HoloBuilder over the last three years to invent and build out many of the workflows and features that are essential on tens of thousands of construction sites around the world today, including 360-degree markups and the JobWalk app itself. He will discuss how to use 360-degree documentation to drive value on a billion-dollar project for the client, stakeholders, and his project team. He will also share his experiences of how to successfully partner with construction technology providers to build the technologies you always wanted. To highlight the team’s successful innovation partnership, he will reveal the latest co-developed solutions to speed up and even automate reality capture on projects.

Building Information Modeling () offers opportunities to improve collaborative work and integration in the AEC industry.

Interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow as governments, companies and individuals begin to realize the potential that a data-driven world has to offer. This talk explores how the construction industry can use the data it collects via tools like BIM and sensors to feed into the wider IoT agenda and the benefits this could bring. We will discuss how we can utilise the data we collect for a variety of purposes including benchmarking and continuous improvement, while also considering how we can combine our data with data sets from other sectors to create greater insights for the industry, client, and end user. Finally, we will look at how we can manage some of the challenges of being a data-driven industry including data management and storage, pain/gain share, ethical considerations, and the need to recruit staff with different skill sets.
