Driving Project Success: How Bristol-Myers Squibb, Windover Construction, and Thornton Tomasetti Innovate to Deliver Certainty
Delivering today’s high-performance projects requires more than a great design—it requires data-driven decision making and integrated collaboration from day one. In this panel, leaders from Bristol-Myers Squibb (owner), Windover Construction (construction manager), and Thornton Tomasetti (design engineer) will share how aligning goals and innovative solutions early unlocks certainty of outcomes across design, construction, and operations. This session will provide a complete 360-degree view into how owner, contract manager, and design teams collaborate to solve challenges, foster innovation, and deliver successful projects in highly technical and regulated environments. Through real-life case studies—including life sciences, manufacturing, residential, and institutional projects—you’ll learn how BIM workflows, BIM-MEP coordination, artificial intelligence (AI), Digital Prototypings, and constructability strategies drive efficiency, improve compliance, and create lasting value from planning through project delivery.

Constructing Tomorrow: Scaling Up with Industrialized Construction—More Bang for Your Build!
“Industrialized construction” refers to the transformation of traditional construction methods through Manufacturing Processes techniques, prefabrication, and digital technologies. This approach aims to enhance efficiency, scalability, and Sustainable Design in the construction industry. By using digital technologies—including BIM, MID (manufacturing informed design), production design, Automation, Integration, & Customization, and modular construction—industrialized construction streamlines the design-to-construction process, reducing waste, costs, and project timelines. In this session, we’ll explore workflows that seamlessly integrate design, engineering, manufacturing, and construction, fostering collaboration and innovation. All of these workflows for industrialized construction empower stakeholders to build smarter, greener, and more resilient structures, meeting the demands of modern urbanization and environmental challenges.

Speedup Railway Site Management: The Power of Automation and the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection
In this class, FSTechnology will showcase how to achieve up to 40% in overall time reduction for some site supervision activities by automating the estimation of the site’s physical progress and of cut-and-fill volumes. This class will illustrate two workflows that you can apply to both building information modeling (BIM) projects and traditional project drawings. The first fully automated workflow calculates the progress of the construction works, starting from the exchange on Autodesk Forma of all point cloud data coming from drone surveys. The main steps are the production of simplified railways track path models in Revit software, the performance of a bespoke clash detection in Navisworks software to assess the works’ progress, and the interpretation of the XML output with .NET scripts to feed a Microsoft Power BI dashboard. The second workflow generates DEM (digital elevation model) surfaces from point clouds via a Python script to then calculate cut-and-fill volumes with Dynamo in Civil 3D. The results are also exported as a structured data source for a Microsoft Power BI dashboard.

Photogrammetry Startup with the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection and Autodesk Forma
This class will focus on how to make the most of tools you probably already have access to in Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection and Autodesk Forma to start processing, analyzing, and maximizing drone photogrammetry data to improve your construction processes. Once at scale, many companies will likely opt for a partner product designed especially for this entire workflow. But it's crucial to get buy-in before making this investment. At BL Harbert International, we found that the best way to accomplish this is by providing concrete examples throughout the company of useful applications on our own projects. To achieve that, we've used several tools already at our disposal in AEC Collection and Autodesk Forma. This class will step through a workflow of processing imagery in ReCap Photo, then analyzing in either AutoCAD software or Civil 3D software, and finally sharing with stakeholders and making annotations in BIM 360 software or Forma Build software.

Increase Your Estimating Productivity by 25% with Forma Takeoff
With rising material costs and razor-thin margins, construction takeoff—including accurate material quantification and cost estimates—is essential to starting and executing jobs on budget and on time. Forma Takeoff, with centralized 2D and 3D takeoffs, allows estimating teams to update quantities in real time, using the most up-to-date design files. By connecting existing building information modeling (BIM) data, Forma Takeoff can reduce takeoff and estimating times by 25% or more, minimize the risk of missed quantities, and guarantee accurate data capture. In this technical instruction, Edwin Bailey (senior preconstruction technology manager at Skanska) will showcase the workflows, techniques, and best practices for using Forma Takeoff, with real-world examples from Skanska's Class A Montrose project in Houston, Texas, among other examples.

Conduct an Immersive Design Review in Virtual Reality with Autodesk Workshop XR (Session Option 1)
In this interactive hands-on lab, you'll learn how to use Autodesk Workshop XR (an immersive workspace) as an essential tool to accelerate your design review process, as have leading firms such as Stantec, HKS, and AtkinsRéalis. Together, we will create a workshop using a 3D model from Autodesk Forma. Then, using the provided Meta Quest VR headsets, you will have the opportunity to experience the immersive power of collaboratively walking through the model. By reviewing the model in detail and having live access to the associated building information modeling (BIM) data, you can identify spatial issues faster—issues that get missed when viewing on a regular screen or automated clash detection. Take the learnings from this hands-on lab back to your team and empower them to move successfully from design to construction more efficiently and sustainably. We will provide the laptops and the Meta Quest headsets; all you need to bring is your innovative spirit.

The Benefits of Factory Planning: From 2D to 3D and Back Again Using Cloud Solutions
How can existing 2D data be reused, verified against the reality, and combined with 3D data in a holistic factory design or integration? With Autodesk Forma, Autodesk offers the possibility to realize this not just for buildings and infrastructure models, but also for new and existing factories, whereby the integration of machines and equipment as well as the use of reality data (point clouds) plays an important role. The objective is to increase the quality of plannings and integrations to a very high level to reduce or completely avoid unforeseen costs, delays or planning errors.

Fighting Nature: Design and Build of Lava Diversion Barriers for Ever-Changing Volcanic Eruptions in Iceland
This session will explain the latest volcanic episodes in Iceland—a constant threat to nearby town and infrastructure in the Reykjanes Peninsula. In November 2023, the 4,000-person town of Grindavík was evacuated. Working in close cooperation with the Civil Protection of Iceland, Verkís designed and managed the construction of lava diversion barriers to protect the 225 MW geothermal power plants at Svartsengi, the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, and Grindavík. HEC-RAS was used to model lava flows using the latest topographical drone mapping of the surface and fresh lava. The barriers were designed and modeled in Civil 3D software, and Autodesk Forma was used to communicate design and stakeout data to multiple contractors. This study will show how the barrier design was optimized during the volcanic eruption by comparing theoretical models against actual lava flow behavior. Now 11 km of massive lava barriers have been built, which worked successfully against the lava flow and saved the town of Grindavík.
