Affordable construction is a serious problem that affects us all, and we face a growing housing shortage in the 21st century. It's widely believed that prefabrication and industrialized construction are strategies that can help the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry produce buildings much faster, less expensively, and of higher quality than traditional on-site construction methods. When done right, prefabrication delivers clear benefits to multifamily housing and hotels, but also comes with risks. The right issues must be de-risked to ensure project success, centered on establishing a digital fabrication approach of Rooms as a Product (RaaP). With RaaP, we can enable industrialized construction by connecting teams, processes, and partners. We give developers access to a vetted prefab ecosystem, standardized documents, and a modular certified process to manage workflows. We also digitize the fabricators' pipeline of orders to increase predictability and lower costs to support mass customization.

In this hands-on lab, we will get to terms with the basics of the Autodesk Construction Cloud Build – Assets module. In this session we will look at: -Defining a standard for our Assets -Import Assets using the model-based workflow -Add our assets to 2D Sheets -Specify data on our assets and change an asset's status -Color-code according to Asset Status -Report out on the current status of our assets

Whether its preconstruction, design, or construction, the process of manually creating projects can be time consuming and prone to errors. There are many moving parts, stakeholders, and tasks that need to be coordinated and executed seamlessly to deliver a successful construction project. With Autodesk Construction Cloud, these manual workflows can be a thing of the past. Barton Malow has implemented streamlined automations and integrations between Autodesk Construction Cloud, SAP, and other software to truly get the most out of its data. Through automations and the collaborative partnership with Autodesk, we can consistently drive standardization across our project teams, enabling us to capture as much data as possible, avoid hours of rework, and optimize our business for the future. Learn how Barton Malow is investing in Autodesk Construction Cloud to help project teams become more technology-enabled to make better business decisions.

With the advancement in pre-construction technology and enhancements in the Model Coordination product on Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), we can now take a massive step toward delivering fully coordinated construction models. This will ensure the quality of construction and reduce the wastage of construction materials. The key factor in delivering fully coordinated construction models is a closed-loop clash management system that allows stakeholders to identify and address potential clashes early in the project lifecycle. This results in reduced risks of delays and cost overruns, thus increasing project efficiency and enhancing project quality. In this lab, you will learn about automated clash detection using Model Coordination. You will get hands-on experience with the "closed-loop" end-to-end issue management system, supported by notifications so the users can be notified when you create clash issues. Finally, you will learn how to close the loop by resolving the clashes and changing the issue status to reflect the clash resolution.

This case study explores how two educators have created girl-focused STEM events to support and empower our next generation. In order to help close the gender gap in their engineering classes, they created programs that pairs young students with high school students and professionals in industry. Maker Girl Mania, a STEM event created in 2015, uses a variety of hands-on activities at over 25 stations for students K-7th grade to explore, problem-solve, build, and tinker with different facets of engineering. Over 100 high school volunteers and industry partners help the young makers at each of the 25 stations to be successful in their explorations. Tech Girls, an annual event that pairs middle school girls with high school girls, introduces young students to the classes and careers available in STEM including Engineering, Design, Architecture, and Automotive.

Evolved Structures, a technology based on generative design and digital manufacturing, has the potential to revolutionize spaceflight system components. This presentation explores "prompt engineering" for guiding generative design artificial intelligence (AI) using textual and geometric information to create parts that meet functional, structural, and manufacturing requirements. By integrating essential design elements, engineers can maximize AI-driven optimization for innovative, high-performance spaceflight systems that are cost-effective and efficient to produce. The presentation will also showcase examples of fabricated hardware developed using this approach, which are slated for integration in future NASA missions.

As a virtual design and construction (VDC) manager for a general contractor (GC), one of the largest headaches is making sure your subcontractors get their models uploaded to your Autodesk Construction Cloud hub on time, and that they're named correctly and in the right format to make Model Coordination work seamlessly. What if it didn't have to be that way? If your subcontractors also happened to be working in Autodesk Construction Cloud, it doesn't have to be. What if they just published their own models internally and all the sharing happened automatically? This class will cover how to use the Bridge tool in Autodesk Construction Cloud to enable automatic sharing of models between Autodesk Construction Cloud hubs to streamline model coordination. Not only will we cover how to share models from the subcontractor's hub to the GC hub and then on into your coordination NWF, but we'll also show you how to share models from one subcontractor to another to enable direct coordination between subcontractor Revit models.

Like most firms, Hazen is at times, unable to dictate which CM platform is used on every project. However, for the last several years we have an internal preferred solution that is not ACC Build. In late 2022 we began pilot testing Autodesk Build with the goal of the pilot being to determine whether we should begin integrating ACC Build going forward. If yes, should we use Autodesk Build on certain projects alongside our other platform, or should it replace that platform entirely? What we hope to gain from this pilot is identifying the feature and workflow differences between the two platforms, and whether Autodesk Build can provide an advantage in transferring our asset-ready intelligent models through construction and as-built into a digital twin / facility management product like Autodesk Tandem. This pilot project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2024, but we wanted to share our experiences so far and provide some insight into our findings.

Using examples from recent student work at San Jose State University, this session will present a case study on how the introduction of CAD earlier in design workflow benefitted students with little or no design abilities. It will explore how students were able to ramp up quickly and remove the barriers to entry for learning the industrial design process. Incorporating Fusion 360 in the industrial design curriculum at San Jose State University was pivotal in expanding product development workflows in other emerging technologies that improved students' industrial design development success. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and 3D printing make it possible to maintain continuity in design development and evaluation conversations, while also reducing environmental impact through more sustainable, iterative practice

Do your accounting and operations teams have to deal with the headache of duplicate data entry—or delays caused by using multiple systems to manage project finances? It doesn't need to be like that. What if your accounting team could continue using the software they need while your operations teams use another, with the data flowing continuously between them? Talk about saving you time and money! Join us as Jacobsen Construction, Morpheus Technology Group, and Autodesk come together to discuss the ins and outs of integrating an accounting/ERP system with a cost management system. You'll also get a glimpse into what the process looked like for Jacobsen with their Viewpoint Vista integration, the lessons they learned, and the benefits they're experiencing.

Departments of transportation and other highway agencies are attempting to integrate their workflows and information processes as they move from design through the construction stage of the infrastructure lifecycle. This effort is designed to achieve greater efficiencies and cost savings through better collaboration during the construction process, and help facilitate information flows into and out of the field. This panel (under the direction of Esri and Autodesk) will assemble three best practice examples from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PENNDOT), and the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) to present their current initiatives and engage in a panel discussion. The session will focus on the successes and difficulties each agency encountered as they sought to streamline their workflows associated with the digital delivery process, and how Esri and Autodesk helped them better align their processes with technology.

This presentation will detail how Clayco has used the "Punch as You Build" process to streamline the usage of checklists and issues for quality-control tracking within the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform (BIM 360 and Autodesk Build). We'll not only cover how we've standardized issue types and subtypes across the enterprise (from early design to construction and even warranty), but also how we employ standard checklist and issue workflows across our 100+ concurrent projects. Furthermore, our presentation will demonstrate the benefits of standardization in developing and identifying enterprise-level, high-risk quality trends and solutions. We'll highlight the functionality and value of this process through the success one of our Clayco project teams had from implementing a culture of quality with the "Punch as You Build" process.

In this session, we will present the latest status of Autodesk Construction Cloud APIs, discussing those that have recently been added and those that we expect to release in the near future.

Autodesk Construction Cloud connects workflows, teams, and data at every stage of construction to reduce risk, maximize efficiency, and increase profits. This class will focus on the as-is (actual) construction information captured on site with the Autodesk Construction Cloud mobile app and the data flow into the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform. Learn how to capture what's happening on site, and ensure the entire team maintains quality and safety standards from any device, anywhere.

GitHub has revolutionized collaboration among programmers, enabling efficient project development through collaborative contributions. Imagine applying this ideology to the design and construction industry, where all project data can be collected, integrated, and used collaboratively. We can use digital twins as the GitHub of project data by eliminating the traditional turnover process and validating data during construction. This presentation will explore the transformative potential of the digital twin as a collaborative environment for gathering, validating, analyzing, and delivering project data. By embracing this innovative approach, we can enhance project efficiency, streamline data management, and drive successful project outcomes. Join us to discover how digital twins can revolutionize project data collaboration and propel the construction industry forward.

When implementing new technology, an assured way to miss buy-in across your organization is to sign team members up and say, "Good luck!” Training is the obvious answer to this problem. However, designing, implementing, and executing a training program is a heavy lift, and justifying the commitment is paramount. To do so, it's vital to measure success through data: Locations and geos trained, project value in geographic area, and, of course, the number of individuals trained. The value of training doesn't end there. Our program instills our companywide vision of doing business. It deepens relationships with Autodesk, creating a partnership that tackles our big issues together. These relationships directly guide feature developments at Autodesk. At this session, learn from Ryan Riley, virtual design and construction (VDC) manager at Barton Malow Builders (BMB), on how he developed the ACC Roadshow Training Program at BMB across 16 offices, and 10 states, while tackling extremely local, specific problems.

Multiple moving parts and stakeholders are involved in getting construction projects from design to handover. When project-related communications are not linked to the project, it can increase the likelihood of scattered communication and potential risk. What if you could track all project correspondence in a single location? Well, now you can! With the Correspondence tool in Autodesk Construction Cloud, teams can create and manage internal and external project communication in a centralized and connected environment. In this session, Granite Construction will share how the firm used the tool on multiple projects to create a communication repository, working collaboratively with the Autodesk product team to provide feedback during the beta. The product team will showcase the power of the Correspondence tool, and highlight key features on the road map to make the tool a primary mode of communication to take your projects to the next level.
