Imagine walking a design site before it’s ever built, with grading, buildings, and utilities unfolding around you in full context. Immersive Digital Workplaces make that possible, turning project models into shared experiences that improve communication and bring teams into alignment before construction begins. In this fast-paced, high-level session, three voices from civil design, immersive technology, and construction will share insights from the field. Rather than a technical deep dive, this session offers a big-picture look at how immersive Digital Workplaces are bridging disciplines, reducing errors, and clarifying complex data throughout the project lifecycle. When stakeholders can visualize a design in its environment, they are empowered to make faster, more confident decisions. Join us to explore how immersive workflows support better outcomes from concept through construction.

One of the biggest challenges in is getting disciplines to work together, sharing data and information in real time. Whether technical, organizational, or cultural, silos slow progress, create inefficiencies, and keep teams from reaching their full potential. This panel brings together industry leaders who are actively climbing that mountain. Through candid conversation, they’ll share real-world struggles, setbacks, and the steps they’re taking to reach higher ground. Expect honest insights, bold ideas, and practical strategies to break down barriers, improve communication, and build stronger, more connected teams. If you’re navigating the uphill journey of , this session is your chance to pause, gain perspective, and gather the tools needed to keep moving forward together.

Facilities operations begin when you’re given the keys to the building. But the success of the team is determined well before that—during design, construction, and turnover—when meaningful data about the building is captured and passed along. Today, most handovers are done manually, leading to massive risk of error and data loss. What’s worse, these data leaks ultimately drive up long-term operations costs. Learn how you can bridge the gaps during handoffs and set up operations teams for success with a living digital history of your building, accessible from anywhere.

BDP has moved from a practice with workflows solidly grounded in 2d to becoming the first BIM Level 2 business globally. As part of this transition it was recognized that the change required could only be achieved through ensuring staff had appropriate skills to successfully deliver technological change across the business. The class will describe the strategic decisions made by BDP and the influences on the direction the business took. It will further outline the structure put in place to support BIM adoption, the skills gaps identified and how these were addressed. A review will also be presented of the challenges encountered at each stage, from pilot project through to the current position with over 70% of technical staff regularly using BIM Software across some 620+ projects. Issues encountered at various project stages will be highlighted with solutions to overcome these also described. BDP's forward looking strategy will also be discussed with staff sit at it's heart.

Revit Shared Coordinates are essential for setting up a project’s real-world location and coordinating the alignment of models linked between consultants. With the adoption of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in the field, digital setting out of projects is becoming more prevalent—and getting the coordinates right is increasingly critical. However, a project’s setup is usually done only once at the beginning by one person, so there are few opportunities to learn it. This makes understanding and getting it right a bit of a dark art. Drawing on years of experience working with projects in the real world, this session will cover the theory of shared coordinates, reveal the system behind the curtain, and show the application with a real-world example. Whether you’re trying to get your model to report spot coordinates, or you just want to know how to align that structural model with yours because origin-to-origin isn’t working, this class will show you how it’s done right.

This presentation will look in detail at how a complex large-scale residential building can be delivered using Revit, with an understanding of overall modelling strategy, data management, and drawing output workflow. The Circus West project represents that first phase of the Battersea Power Station masterplan, and comprises of 752 apartments over 17 storeys, above a mixed-use podium. The building has a 350-metre-long footprint which wraps around the Power Station building, and is articulated as 2 stacked tapering glazed ribbons. In response to the original client brief, the building has a large number of residential typologies, with a mix of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments, townhouses, and penthouses. The project was transitioned into Revit in 2013, with the intention to build a model for the output of GA plan scale construction drawings, scheduling and coordination with the structures and M&E consultant team. The project was not only the largest residential scheme that the practice had delivered to date, but also the first to be produced using Revit, and as a result, initial strategies had to be quickly developed and implemented in order to construct the model. The design work was split between the practiceÍs 2 offices, with the interior fit out of the residential element development by the Manchester office team, and Shell, Core and Podium developed by the London office team. The development of the interior fit out packages for the residential element proved to be the most challenging area of the project to set up in Revit, due to the large quantity of apartment types (over 200 unique layouts). In order to minimise file sizes, and repetition of modelling, a systems of nested Revit models and arrangement files had to be set up to enable drawing sheet output. The level of detail in the apartment models required careful consideration to strike a balance between information required for outputs and minimal file sizes. As part of this, a strategy for the use of families for complex interior fit out elements the within apartment models was developed. Following the BPS project, there are many lessons learnt that can be applied to future large residential Revit projects. This includes developing a strategy for how a project with numerous apartment types can be broken down into manageable elements, with an allowance for flexibility in the set up as the project progresses.

What an exciting time for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry as the benefits of BIM (Building Information Modeling) will soon be experienced by engineers in the same way they’re enjoyed by architects. This course will look at Autodesk’s approach to “Collaboration for Infrastructure” by applying the same BIM process to civil engineering projects. The function of modeling in 3D is nothing new for civil engineering professionals; the difference is that we can now dynamically connect the data and workflows with other disciplines using BIM 360 software. In this class, we’ll explore how to access BIM 360 for Civil 3D software, whether utilizing the web-based interface or Autodesk Desktop Connector. We’ll also showcase the use of BIM 360 for design collaboration by translating a surface from Civil 3D into Revit software. Then you’ll take a look at how to take your markups to the next level within the BIM 360 environment and learn how to access and write Civil 3D data to BIM 360 directly from within the Civil 3D software.

My own experience at Hawkins\Brown has taught me that a significant hurdle in the implementation of computational design workflows into an office is new users getting over the fear factor of interacting in a visual scripting environment. We have had success in overcoming this hurdle by developing custom GUI nodes for Dynamo, that allow complex multistage scripts to be run without the need to interact with Dynamo.This session will provide attendees with a step-by-step guide on how to create a Winform ComboBox dropdown selector UI custom node directly in Dynamo using Python. Once complete, I will also identify how only 20% of the code needs to be adapted to be able to create a number of further UI’s including Select a file, Textbox input, and Warning message.The workshop utilises the Winform GUI library as part of the Microsoft .NET Framework which typically requires an IDE for utilisation. However Dynamo’s use of IronPython, which is integrated with the .NET Framework, IronPython can use the Winform and other such libraries. This opens the door for all skill levels of users to explore GUI development directly in Dynamo. Given that GUI development is typically not supported in Python there is very little literature on the topic which makes it difficult to learn on your own. This is a key reason why I have decided to propose this session in Python with Dynamo and not C# with Visual Studio as it will provide a source of information for an otherwise poorly document field. This is alongside the fact that it will be more assessable to a wider number of delegates. Having said this, the session could more easily be adapted to cover the same topic but in C# within visual studio. The session will be split into 3 clear sections: 1) Presentation: Providing an overview of the topic; 2) Lab/ workshop tutorial: Providing a step-by-step guide for how to code a Winform ComboBox drop down selection GUI; 3) A live demonstration on how only a small amount of the code that everyone has just written needs to be altered in order to create a different type of GUI.

Has computation become a core competency for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry? During this roundtable we’ll discuss how BIM (Building Information Modeling) and automation have caused an incredible transformation within our industry, and what we’re doing about it. We’ll discuss different techniques for upskilling junior staff and opening conversations with senior leadership.

How do you train your staff? How do you even know what to train? Do you test or retrain to ensure retention? Traditionally, training occurs in silos (based on discipline, function, or office location), often isn’t captured for future use (often through email or 1-on-1 conversation), and relies heavily on expert-level “gurus” as gatekeepers of knowledge. Design practice has evolved to keep pace with technology, mobile and geographically diverse employees, and the increasing speed of project schedules. To increase efficiency, organizations must pursue a culture of continual training, knowledge sharing, and skills assessment to break down the silos. This session will discuss ideas for Lifecycle User Training and methods to develop a knowledge-sharing culture that expects skills assessment. We will explore ideas on developing resources where corporate knowledge is retained, searchable, accessible, and inherently social.
