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.

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.

We'll delve into the implementation process of Autodesk Construction Cloud at Jorge Chavez International Airport (Lima, Peru), which is the best airport in the region. This project will contribute to positioning Peru as an important international connection center in South America, promoting the country's development. We'll show you how to use Autodesk Construction Cloud in the engineering phase of this project using BIM methodology and cloud collaboration. We'll cover the use of Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, Autodesk Docs for project model management, and interference detection. Without a doubt, this experience will be a milestone in South America.

Traditionally, checking BIM (Building Information Modeling) standards is performed manually by BIM experts. At times, standards are not met while making revisions in the drawings. This results in a lot of rework at jobsites and also during building approvals with local authorities. In this class, we will explain how we’ve automated the process of checking BIM standards in the building design within BIM 360 software. We have built a BIM connector within BIM 360; it enables automatic rule checks in the building design each time the building design file is modified or uploaded in BIM 360. Checker results are made ready for view via an email update. This automation not only reduces dependency on the manual checking of BIM standards by BIM experts, but it also saves time, cuts cost overruns, and reduces chances of rework, as the design failures are caught early on in the construction chain process.

For infrastructure managers, up-to-date asset data is crucial to meet the expectations for qualitative and safe roads. Using BIM (Building Information Modeling) helps us build our infrastructure more efficiently and collect the asset data we need. As the “information management” aspect is essential for an efficient asset management, our vision leads the way on how we can evolve toward a more data-driven organization, how we can implement BIM, and what we consider to be our role as a contracting authority in standardizing the BIM implementation. By providing a standardized Object Type Library (OTL) and uniform BIM specifications in our contracts, we encourage all stakeholders to start implementing BIM. Moreover, a general BIM protocol and uniform BIM execution plan for every project help us standardize the level playing field in our BIM projects. Different software packages and tools such as Civil 3D software, Revit software, Navisworks software, and BIM 360 software help us deliver and verify intelligent models following our specifications.

Document management and control for construction is an ever-evolving challenge. Trying to meet standards, naming conventions, and the approval process all provide challenges of their own. BIM 360 Docs software gives us one piece of the puzzle and Forge software is the other. GRAITEC has been researching and experimenting with both BIM 360 Docs and Forge to automate the process of controlling where documents and drawings sit in the approval process within a common data environment, to meet various standards such as PAS 1192 in the United Kingdom. This course describes the journey and adventure of using Forge for the first time to meet a growing demand in the industry. Come and experience the thrills and spills encountered by the GRAITEC developers as they dove head first into this new and uncharted world of APIs and web services. Join in on the fun and the conversation of developing workflows between BIM 360 products using Forge, and learn how to get started with Forge to open up endless possibilities.

This class will cover the benefits of using BIM 360 Docs as a central hub for many different stakeholders in a plant project. In this session, we’ll look at ideal workflows for transferring and managing data models from Mechanical, Plant and Process engineering into BIM 360 Docs. Based on a real world experience we will share best practices and lessons learned on how to synchronize engineering data from model authoring systems into the Cloud. We will discuss and demonstrate the importance of all project participants having access to these models with intuitive tools to search and analyze models, and in doing so, creating full project awareness. The session will conclude with the various positive business impacts companies can achieve by implementing such a hybrid environment.

In this session we will look at BIM 360 Glue software and show how to use it with AutoCAD Plant 3D software.

This presentation will focus on the challenges encountered in implementing a structured ISO 19650 approach to BIM (Building Information Modeling) and data management for the BART to Silicon Valley Phase II Project located in Northern California. During conceptual and preliminary design, the management of data across the 25 firms, 10 disciplines, and 49 locations was critical to the successful delivery of the first milestone submission. Traditional workflows were challenged and digital solutions introduced to integrate software from Autodesk (Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, Assemble), Bentley (ProjectWise), Microsoft (SharePoint, Power BI), BIM Track, and various other applications (Leapfrog, Rhino). We will share some of the “secrets” of bringing these programs together with efficient and manageable processes and workflows; collecting, integrating, validating, and sharing data across teams; and using behavioral aspects in providing guidance and support to those new to a “one team” philosophy of digital collaboration.

A diverse panel of experts will participate in this discussion on how evolving technology and insurance products have shaped the construction risk management practice in recent years to become a more strategic function of a contractor’s business model. The panel will include one product and industry expert from Autodesk, one Autodesk customer (construction risk professional), one partner from AXA XL (Autodesk’s largest construction insurance partner), and a moderator (Autodesk partnerships team). Topics discussed will include the following: advantages to different types of construction insurance products; best practices for subcontractor prequalification, risk mitigation planning, site safety, and project incident prioritization; how software and relative workflows act as the foundation of these best practices to ensure the success of your work, and the advantages of your insurance approach.

"What if projects empowered facility owners with building intelligence that maximizes the value from design and construction, and seamlessly transitioned knowledge to operations and maintenance, to run the facility optimally from the first day? What if we integrated models, drawings, documents, facility performance and analytics data, and delivered such capability as a simple, contextualized user experience? The VueOPS team has consulted on BIM for FM implementations for large-scale healthcare, aviation, bio-pharmaceutical, and public agency owners. We are passionate about these outcomes. This class shares our journey to bridge current and emergent FM requirements for projects and develop an integrated FM platform that uses the Autodesk Forge platform in our quest to integrate information from documents, models, asset management, and building performance and analytics systems to create building knowledge for our customers."

Facility managers face numerous challenges that are driving them to demand a better turnover experience to reduce productivity losses and establish a digital platform for facility operations and management. This class will cover the range of turnover and post-construction services requested from owners and the need to turn design and construction Building Information Modeling (BIM) inside out to support their vision and goals. We share our journey with leading owners, and how the growing gap between Division 1 specifications and emergent owner requirements force rethinking project turnover to deliver integrated and contextualized information for facility management. The owner cases highlight successful BIM implementations based on alignment of technology with process redesign and organizational development to produce smart project outcomes. The owner cases include examples of solutions using Revit software, BIM 360 Glue software, BIM 360 Field software, and other tools.

Joint AU/Forge DevCon class.

Copachisa is a general contractor of projects ranging from 100,000 sq. ft. to 1 million sq. ft. from schematic design to as-built documentation. In this session, we will share our experience moving forward working in a collaborative environment using Autodesk Construction Cloud. Before the pandemic, we usually worked with our information in a physical server. Due the necessity of working remotely, we decided to use BIM 360 software. The challenge was to move 40+ subcontractors and about 42 active projects very quickly (roughly two weeks). The most relevant part was first training the design teams, and then the whole organization. In a short time, we noticed the benefits of working in a web-based environment—for instance, extracting project data to conduct analytics—so we decided to expand our design workflows to precon and construction teams covering the entire project lifecycle. In 2023, we're redefining our internal processes, and by the beginning of 2024, the complete project cycle will be running in this environment.

See an innovative approach to designing an Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360 template that aligns with ISO 19650 principles and is adaptable for U.S. non-ISO projects. Explore the key principles outlined in the standard and discuss the benefits of a managed data collaboration process. We will showcase the methodology for creating role-based permission groups, naming conventions, document control classification, data exchanges, workflow review processes, and more. Recognizing the need for adaptability, we will demonstrate how the ISO 19650-compliant template can easily be customized to suit unique requirements of U.S. architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms and meet industry regional state and local standards. Developed in BIM 360 and translated to Autodesk Construction Cloud, the template serves as the basis for project creation across a global firm and can accommodate large and small projects
