Construction
Build with confidence
Minimize waste, increase efficiency, and improve quality with Autodesk construction software
Workflow for construction projects
Select your workflow:
Overview
Evaluate and enhance the constructability of designs and improve the project delivery process with field management and virtual construction software. Deliver more effective planning, coordination, and control through greater design insight and project predictability from preconstruction through execution.
Workflow
Products
-
Construction modeling
Create realistic and interactive simulations and visualizations to more easily communicate how work will be executed.
Predict and communicate project constructability more accurately with the ability to virtually construct, test, and validate design intent.
Increase collaboration with stakeholders by integrating data from multiple sources to facilitate whole project review and construction simulation.
-
Estimating /quantification
Reduce error-prone manual counting and maintain more accurate budgets with software that calculates material quantities and tracks in-cost estimates.
Produce more accurate estimates and update the quantification process by extracting quantities, areas, and volumes from 2D and 3D designs.
-
Coordination
Minimize expensive delays by checking model collisions between elements within individual disciplines.
Reduce waste and minimize RFIs when you find, manage, and resolve conflicts prior to construction.
Simplify collaboration by giving stakeholders access to BIM models and intelligent data with cloud-based model coordination and clash detection.
-
Planning & logistics
Minimize delays and rework with software that simulates the sequence of activities and helps you identify potential problems.
-
Prefabrication
Minimize material waste, improve labor efficiency, and boost field productivity by designing custom building components for fabrication.
-
Field management
Transform the delivery and oversight of construction by combining cloud-based collaboration with mobile technologies at the point of construction.
Reduce contractual, safety, performance, and financial liability risks when you automate issue tracking, quality management, and access to project data.
-
Commissioning & handover
Shorten handover periods with electronic handover documentation that provides the owner with a digital asset.
Reduce facility downtime by speeding recommissioning with software that tracks key details throughout the commissioning process.

What customers are saying
Products they used
Balfour Beatty
The ability to coordinate workflows and incorporate subcontractors into its BIM process enabled Balfour Beatty to complete construction on a luxury hotel two months ahead of schedule, allowing the hotel to open early.
Consigli
Consigli completed the construction of a residence hall early using BIM solutions from Autodesk. 3D walk-throughs and intelligent models allowed the entire team to troubleshoot and manipulate the project in advance.
Hoar Construction
During its expansion of a major children’s medical center, Hoar Construction was able to coordinate, accelerate, and reduce waste with help from Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage software.
Sundt Construction
A large construction company identified and resolved issues prior to beginning work with support from 3D construction models. Careful BIM planning made Sundt better prepared for the construction work.
