This class will showcase a connected data workflow used to deliver large water and sewer infrastructure projects from design to commissioning. This is accomplished with a systematic use of Civil 3D software and ArcGIS integration, asset data governance, and Industry Foundation classes (IFC) for digital-twin commissioning. The sewer and water designs are first developed in Civil 3D. Dynamo and Python are used to attach a class library as property set data and generate a spreadsheet model database. The spreadsheet is linked to an Esri geodatabase through geoprocessing and Python. This geodatabase is updated with field-collected attribute data and as-built data via Esri Field Maps. The computational process is reversed to update the spreadsheet and subsequently the Civil 3D model. The model is delivered as-built, and an IFC version containing the asset data is exported for the owner's digital-twin ecosystem.

Colliers Engineering & Design’s (CED) transition from on-prem Vault to Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) was driven by the need to eliminate data silos, support massive datasets, and scale across multi-discipline teams and acquisitions. This session explores how CED approached the shift strategically — partnering with ARKANCE and Autodesk to reimagine workflows while honoring what already worked well. You’ll learn how to analyze your current environment, define end goals, and run effective pilot programs with SAT/UAT testing to evaluate performance, latency, and user experience. Discover the importance of documentation, change management, and building an ACC Guideline and Data Process Document to support rollout and adoption. Whether you're a large firm or a small team, this session offers practical insights, lessons learned, and a roadmap to a successful ACC migration — paving the way for connected clouds, integrations, and a smarter future.

Exceptional construction starts with clarity—clear communication, fewer points of contact, and a streamlined, client-centered experience. Our Operations Driven Design approach builds on that foundation, applying AI and machine learning to performance data captured from satellites, sensors, building systems, and more. From space to site, we translate complex data into actionable insights—informing 3D Digital Prototyping models, AR visualizations, simulations, and environmental trend analysis. This enables smarter planning, climate-resilient strategies, and optimized operations before ground is ever broken. Whether the project is infrastructure, vertical construction, or site development, we bring precision and foresight to every phase. The result? Data-rich design. Predictable performance. A better experience from start to Operations.
