In today’s competitive construction landscape, estimators are often caught in the chaos of juggling 2D drawings and 3D models across ever-changing bid packages. Long nights, rushed numbers, and missed margins are all too common. Enter Takeoff software—a powerful, cloud-based solution on Construction Cloud that brings clarity, accuracy, and connection to your quantification process. In this hands-on lab, you’ll experience firsthand how Takeoff transforms the way quantity takeoffs are performed. Whether you're working in 2D, 3D, or both, this class will walk you through the complete connected workflow—from setting up customized takeoff types and applying unit costs, to managing drawing revisions and comparing snapshots mid-process. By the end, you'll know how to deliver faster, smarter, and more accurate takeoffs that give your team the competitive edge in bidding.

While discussions often emphasize general/managing contractors, the true measure of successful digital adoption depends greatly on the buy-in and innovation of subcontractors. As Australia’s largest privately owned electrical subcontractor, with 14 branches nationwide, Stowe Australia recognized the critical need to digitally transform our entire business—not just isolated projects. By strategically deploying Construction Cloud nationally, we've streamlined workflows, enhanced risk management, and empowered our teams to collaborate seamlessly across hundreds of projects. This session will share our journey, as well as practical insights for subcontractors, lessons learned from a large-scale implementation, and proven strategies to achieve measurable ROI and operational excellence. By the end of this session, you'll understand how subcontractors can successfully use Construction Cloud to transform their business operations, gaining tangible benefits beyond a single project’s lifecycle.

Discover how Mott MacDonald used Autodesk’s Data API to augment the firm’s own internally developed low-carbon product, opening pathways to additional carbon data sets and widening its appeal to clients existing and new. By incorporating the Data API, Mott MacDonald has been able to make these data sets consistently available across an increased number of platforms, allowing for new carbon insights in products such as Revit Insight and Takeoff software. In addition, the use of the AEC Data Model has enabled a critical link between design data and carbon data, helping to drive more-sustainable design. In this session, we will share key technical lessons learned through our partnership with Autodesk, and detail how we overcame some of the challenges we encountered.

What comes before any successful construction project? An accurate estimate is a good place to start. You have a lot to gain from a standardized pre-con environment in Construction Cloud, from the first schematic drawings brought into Docs software then quantified in Takeoff software. In this hands-on lab, you’ll gain firsthand experience in quantifying a new project’s design the right way. What we'll give you: Step 1: A standard project template will offer your team a playbook to follow for . Step 2: Typical items you need are present for you to quantify on the new project. What you’ll do: Step 3: (This is the hands-on part.) In accessible interactive activities, you’ll apply advanced 2D and 3D quantification tools. You’ll translate project scope into material, labor, and equipment costs to generate an accurate project estimate. Come work with us to experience the value Construction Cloud can bring to your pre-con workflows.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is dominating headlines and everyday conversations—and it’s not slowing. It isn’t just a trend. It’s a powerful force multiplier reshaping every industry, including design/construction.​ So, what does that look like for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals? And how is Construction Cloud putting AI to work in meaningful ways?​ In this class, Tomer Rosenthal (principal AI product manager at Autodesk) will join Lauren Collier (director of AI and Innovation from SSOE) to discuss how AI in Construction Cloud is driving real impact. They’ll explore the opportunities AI brings to our practice, highlight the AI-powered features available in Construction Cloud today, and share insights into how SSOE is integrating AI across their ecosystem—including building trust in AI. You’ll also get a glimpse into what’s ahead on the Construction Cloud road map as Autodesk continues to invest in AI.​ Whether you’re a seasoned tech leader or just AI-curious, this class will offer an inside investigation of the value of Autodesk AI-powered features in Construction Cloud.
