The past decade has seen many changes to both design software and data collection hardware. Methods that were once considered the norm now seem archaic in the eyes of today's engineers and field specialists who utilize new technologies such as the cloud to share information in real time. It is the overall seamless connection between design and field execution that has taken the industry to a new level—allowing for advanced productivity and a more seamless workflow. These once-siloed areas of construction and building management now work together in an integrated fashion. Learn how to take advantage of hardware and software solutions for BIM mapping and data collection that will ultimately improve the overall efficiency of your business.

In this session, we will cover the basics on how to efficiently design a full-cycle dashboard during a project's startup phase, followed by how to set up automatic refreshes to have the latest and greatest project updates. We will discuss both the importance of simple versus noisy designs and automation workflow for team efficiency—and provide practical examples.

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.

This class will focus on the acronym CREW, which has four keys areas of bringing BIM (Building Information Modeling) and virtual design and construction (VDC) to the field teams. BIM/VDC has been established with our teams in the jobsite trailers, but getting it to the people in the field has always been a struggle. We’ll focus on what’s been helpful for our teams so that you can use the same lessons with your teams. The four areas of CREW are the following: collaborate, research, engage, and work. Taking from what we’ve learned in our process, we’ll go through the different steps, discuss the pieces that usually get missed, and expand on the areas that were helpful and successful. Join me so that all of our field teams can step into fully embracing how BIM/VDC can improve their lives and help them be more successful.

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.

Capitalizing on Revit software for the field is the key to fully implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) and virtual design and construction (VDC) in the construction industry. By examining some landmark projects—such the Miami All Aboard Station, Hard Rock Hollywood, and other projects—attendees will learn the importance of fully modeling outside conditions, cranes, formwork, and other construction-related activities to understand constructability and how this impacts costs and schedules. Bringing the models to the field does not stop at coordination, and by correctly modeling how work is placed and utilizing parameters, modelers can provide extremely detailed quantities and approaches to the field and estimating at a subcontractor level. This class will also demonstrate the importance of estimators getting involved in the modeling process. Back with examples from landmark projects, the course will show how a model-based takeoff methodology is more accurate and more efficient than are traditional estimation methods. This session features Revit, AutoCAD, and BIM 360 Glue. AIA Approved

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword—it’s transforming the way construction projects are managed. In this hands-on lab, you’ll discover how to put the Construction Cloud platform’s built-in AI tools to work without writing a single line of code. Learn how Autodesk Assistant helps teams identify issues early, manage risk smarter, and streamline communication across the field and office. Through real-world scenarios and interactive exercises, you’ll learn about AI-driven workflows that will boost productivity, improve decision making, and save time across all phases of a construction project. Whether you’re a project manager, virtual design and construction (VDC) expert, or field engineer, this session will give you practical skills you can apply immediately, with no custom development or AI expertise required. We want to take the mystery out of AI and show everyday workers that it’s here to help. Walk away confident about how to adopt the Construction Cloud AI features to do more with less, faster.

Have you imagined how powerful attributes and fields can be in your design process? Learn how to add intelligence to your design data using fields and attributes. You will learn how to define and redefine attributes, using fields with text/Mtext and attributes. See how quickly you can use fields to extract properties of elements and combine them with formulas for complex calculations. You will also learn how to extract attribute/fields from the design data and output as AutoCAD software Table or export as a Microsoft Excel or database file.

This class gives firsthand insights into the application and documented quantified benefits of bringing Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies to the field at Max Bögl Group, Germany’s largest privately owned construction company. We will discuss how we were able to deliver construction management workflows with higher quality and in significantly less time than before, and we’ll share best practice workflows for Navisworks software, BIM 360 Glue software, and BIM 360 Field software. As a highlight we will share how we enriched the regular BIM 360 software platform by creating a custom document-management system integration, linking 3D elements to detailed 2D CAD documents. The result is an automated, rule-based integration of 2D plans for 3D models with web and mobile access. A 3D object is then linked to its CAD metadata, checklists, issues, tasks, and respective (plan) documents, and it can be tracked with a QR code.

This class will cover how to customize BIM 360 Field software to work with your own apps using its API (Application Programming Interface). We will also cover best practices on how to use REST client applications to work faster and get the most out of the BIM 360 Field API. We will show 4 C# projects to demonstrate the BIM 360 Field API and show how you can get started faster. Finally, the class will discuss the current state of the API and the various scenarios and workflows supported. Please note that prior programming knowledge is required (Microsoft .NET) and an understanding of REST web services and the JavaScript API is recommended. This class is not suitable for developers at the beginner level.
