This session is a high-level strategy road map of how companies with a large project portfolio can use Autodesk Construction Cloud to take pragmatic steps within the Autodesk Construction Cloud user interface to benefit both in the short term and long term. We'll use real-world examples using Amazon Transportation Engineering Services (TES) as a case study. We'll work through the practical planning of using cornerstone Autodesk Construction Cloud features such as Issues and Forms, and we'll look at how building on the use of these features can lead to powerful QuickSight dashboards, and, later, robust machine learning. The presentation will be broken down into three categories: 1) The Foundation: using out-of-the-box Autodesk Construction Cloud features with specific use cases; 2) The Frame: building automations and integrations to aid in manual efforts (with a focus on Autodesk Platform Services); and 3) The Roof: advanced machine learning and AI using Amazon Web Services (AWS). For each of these categories, we'll investigate the appropriate tools available in our toolbox (Autodesk Platform Services and AWS).

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.

The presentation will cover the 4D management of hundreds of machine installations, each with various stages of preparation work required. Previously the workflow involved comparing 2D AutoCAD layouts to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. First, we'll define the prerequisites of having a Factory Design Utilities layout, where the machines are individually laid out in 3D. The layout will then be imported into Navisworks software and prepared for the TimeLiner function. Then, we'll export a schedule as a .CSV with all the necessary details. Next, we'll import the file into Navisworks for the TimeLiner function. We'll show the process of making links, and explain all other necessary setup parameters. We'll run the sim, and export the viewport into a .PPT for distribution. In closing, you'll see an update to the original layout which then reflects in the end results. And we'll even include a change in schedule, to emulate logistical issues. The workflow helps with collaborative agile planning.
