For the last two years during the pandemic, Jacobs’ digital delivery team in Australia has been aware of the increasing challenges posed by remote project collaboration and stakeholder engagement. We’ve developed a platform named SIFT that is built on top of Autodesk Forge, Microsoft Power Platform, and Microsoft Azure services to help accelerate our internal digital transformation. SIFT democratizes building information modeling (BIM) data by helping design teams better consume and understand design information from intelligent models, bridging the gap between specialized BIM software and end users, and making information from Autodesk Forma easily accessible through enterprise-level IT infrastructure like Microsoft 365. When used together with Microsoft Power Platform, SIFT helps us effectively remove most coding requirements and lower the threshold for adoption and operation of BIM technologies, making BIM data more accessible and actionable.

Building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information system (GIS) integration has become an essential part of large-scale projects. While a massive amount of information is produced during the project lifecycle, it’s sometimes hard to use it because it’s trapped inside the BIM and GIS software. This becomes an obstacle for non-users of BIM and GIS—especially on decision-maker levels and from project management perspectives. Using business intelligence software, Microsoft Power BI, and the support of other software like Autodesk Forge and VCAD, Power BI will be able to present intelligent models and GIS layers in an interactive way connected with all types of trackers. In this session, the speaker will present how they created an information center that acts as the single source of truth for their projects using the interactive connection between Power BI, BIM 360 software, ArcGIS, and trackers in Microsoft Excel to give all team members access to up-to-date information.

The new Data Exchange service helps you unlock your data and gives you the flexibility to share the right data with the right stakeholders at the right time. Its flexible and powerful API allows you to access the granular data in exchanges and, given the structure of the data, it is also possible to quickly identify and get the difference between the versions of a shared data subset. In this class, we’ll have an overview of the concepts used by the Data Exchange to describe the data structure, and we’ll work with these concepts to explain how the data’s organized within an exchange container. We’ll discuss the current capabilities of the Data Exchange API as well as some future functionalities. Given its current capabilities, we’ll go through some workflows that best suit its use. To be fair, we’ll also see some cases where it might not be the right solution, and compare it with other APIs like the Model Derivative API, the BIM 360 API, and Autodesk Forma Model Properties API.

The future of the construction industry has never been brighter, in part due to the increased adoption of technology across all phases—design, plan, build, and operate. From streamlining specific processes to better collect, manage, and analyze data to embracing new business models, it’s no longer a question of whether to use technology, but how and why. During this keynote, Autodesk leaders will share Autodesk Forma updates and highlight industry innovators who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Use of standards for construction project delivery has grown over the last decade, with national and regional mandates, and an increase in Building Information Modelling has led to the development of the ISO19650 set of standards.
