There are still obstacles to sustainable design. Construction professionals know they must build faster, more efficiently, and more sustainably to meet global demands. The industry is moving away from waste and inefficiency, and is adopting smarter processes, connected teams, and workflows that ensure the right people have access to the data they need to make timely and confident decisions. That's why we need Revit software as a modeling tool; Autodesk Forma software with its conceptual design capabilities, predictive analytics, and design automation to help us to select the most-sustainable options in the early stages of the design process; Autodesk Docs software as our common data environment (CDE) and single source of truth; Design Collaboration to manage the exchange of design data between all project teams; Model Coordination for running efficient model coordination and automatic clash detection; Autodesk Build software for improved project, cost, and safety management; and Autodesk Takeoff software for early quantifications and estimations.

Early stage design has arguably the biggest impact on project cost. By nature, these decisions are based on scarce information, which results in tons of repetitive work and a massive waste of resources. Historically, both Forma and TestFit saw an opportunity to reinvent early stage planning to create better cities. While tackling different sides of the problem based on their respective markets, both companies focused on maximizing automation to make better-informed decisions faster, saving time and money. Now, with Forma being created as a platform, new partnerships are possible. Brought together by a hackathon, a new collaboration was born bringing new capabilities to Forma and TestFit users. Come hear the story behind the partnership, vision, and journey, and learn about TestFit's parking generator that is now available as beta on the Autodesk Forma platform.
