Autodesk is committed to helping the construction industry realize the value of a fully connected digital platform across design, plan, build, and operate phases. Autodesk and Aurigo partnered to develop the most comprehensive set of cloud-based solutions for public and private owners. Aurigo’s integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud will provide owners a single technology platform for their entire program-design-plan-build-operate lifecycle. This session will showcase the Masterworks connector to PlanGrid as well as give a sneak peek into the soon-to-be-released product for owners.

As an engineering firm, how do you implement PlanGrid in a department where the vast majority of projects are small, and the general contractor is not using any of these tools? We had to tweak and adjust what seems to be the intended use of PlanGrid to match our needs. We had our road map all plan for and then Covid sent all of our employees home. It forced us to reconsider our entire approach of deployment and management. At the end of the day, using tablets with PlanGrid allowed us to maintain business continuity while keeping our staff safe as they didn’t have to go to the office and plot drawings.

PlanGrid has been taking the construction world by storm ever since its creation in the early 2010s. Thousands of projects throughout the world have utilized this product, and it is widely used by general contractors as well as subcontractors. This class will go through custom field workflows for PlanGrid, and will be centered around the PlanGrid mobile app. We will touch on several different field workflows that are being used in the construction industry today and how they can be performed all in PlanGrid’s mobile app. This course will go beyond the basics of PlanGrid and will enable learners to see how easy and intuitive PlanGrid is, even when performing advanced field workflows.

Businesses waste more than trees when they rely on paper documentation to do work. They waste money. They waste time. They invite liability. Every day, businesses in our industry continue to place valuable information that can protect them on paper in the trailer, where it can get lost or damaged, or be inaccessible when needed. If you’ve ever struggled to put together a complete record drawing set or fished through boxes of loose papers for a safety document, you know how frustrating it can be to do your job with antiquated processes. In this class, we’ll show you how to get set up with a program that will help you digitize your field support and safety efforts and bring these processes into the 21st century, using advanced workflows in PlanGrid that go beyond what you can learn from the PlanGrid trainers themselves.

Learn about PlanGrid’s new suite of features, including BIM (Building Information Modeling), and how they can improve field-office collaboration and boost overall field productivity. See what’s new in 2019 and how you can apply it to help your teams build better together.

Attendees will learn about the real issues involved with rolling new technology out to field teams. We’ll cover the overall view of technology within field operations staff. We’ll go over a brief history of mobile technology, where we’ve come from, and where we’ll be going in the next 10 years. We will present a use case at Hudson yard where we rolled out PlanGrid in the field, and we’ll go over why it worked, what struggles we had, and what major lessons we learned. And we will cover how to develop a technology implantation plan and conduct a tech rollout.

Many of the processes we use to manage construction operations are designed around outdated paper-based workflows. Simply digitizing these paper-based processes is not enough to bring the improvements we need to see in the field. The management of plan revisions, information requests, and product submittal data are critical to a successful buildout, but the traditional paper-based processes used to manage them are slow and limit access to information, resulting in delays and rework. PlanGrid reimagines each of these processes by using digital workflows that enable the entire construction team—from the designers, to the project managers, to the on-site tradespeople—to stay up to date. Learn how to use PlanGrid to manage plan revisions, requests for information, and product submittals in a way that’s more productive and more transparent, all while enhancing collaboration and access to information to reduce delays and rework.

Join this interactive session to see Construction Technology in action with a live case study from Righetti Partners. Yvonne Schröder will share her experience implementing a shared technology platform across their business to help drive closer collaboration and strengthen relationships with subcontractors, partners and customers. Aditya will join Yvonne to provide a demonstration of PlanGrid, using real examples to drill into the solution and show the power of construction technology. Attendees will have the opportunity to get hands on experience during the session, which will conclude with a questions and answers session with Aditya and Yvonne.
