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.

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.

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.

Additionally, you'll learn about automating workflows.

Sabesp is the largest sanitation company in the Americas and one of the largest in the world. It is responsible for water supply and sewage collection in 375 municipalities, serving 28+ million people. The company's large numbers are accompanied by complex challenges. This presentation will explore the experience of an ambitious corporate building information modeling (BIM) implementation program, in its first wave of implementation. This implementation has as one of its main objectives the development of and access to asset information with a focus on commissioning. The program is in its second year of implementation, and you'll be able to check the advances obtained in themes that include: development of libraries and templates, development of unified processes for the use of a common data environment [Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk Docs, and Autodesk Platform Services (formerly Forge)], GeoBIM integration (Autodesk and Esri/GE SmallWorld), and BIM and ERP (SAP) integration. The entire technology base used in this implementation is supported by Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection from Autodesk.

Technology in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is changing rapidly. To keep up with this accelerated pace, VHB is stating that our default design practice will be model-based design (MBD) by 2025. This means training 800+ Civil 3D users in more-automated, connected, and advanced workflows. We recognize that to create this large-scale shift we need to train a generation of innovative and inspiring coaches to help guide others through this change. Advanced MBD Training was created to mold 10% of our Civil 3D users into MBD Project Coaches. As MBD Project Coaches, they'll be expected to advance MBD from automating processes to creating more-efficient workflows. The training will focus not only on our core tool, Civil 3D, but it will also include Dynamo, InfraWorks software, Subassembly Composer, Grading Optimization, ArcGIS Connector, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Twinmotion. This session will walk through how we built and implemented this program to accelerate change at VHB.

ISO 19650 is a widely adopted standard for managing construction information that organizations are using to improve collaboration, productivity, and asset information delivery. Autodesk Construction Cloud plays the role of the common data environment (CDE). Autodesk has worked with Arcadis to align their systems and processes to the industry standard. The outcome of this engagement resulted in a Power BI dashboard that tracks project deliverables against the master information delivery plan through the key information states of Work in Progress, Shared, and Published. This joint presentation by Autodesk and Arcadis will cover practical approaches to deploying and training end users, applying change management practices, and scaling solutions across global organizations. You'll learn how to align their delivery to ISO 19650 using Autodesk Construction Cloud, implement time-saving dashboards, and scale new technology solutions across a global organization.

Following Purcell's presentation on ‘HBIM for Historic Buildings: Refurbishment of Big Ben for UK Parliament' at AU 2022 this proposal looks at the need for information regarding energy and carbon analysis to be available to designers at early stages of project development especially when retrofitting existing buildings of a historical nature. The standard workflows currently in use with applications such as Revit are based on creating mass elements which are then replaced with objects such as walls, floors etc. to produce models. By utilising tools such as the Insight energy and carbon analysis features developed by Autodesk along with redefining perceived workflows clients/building owners, designers and the wider built environment teams can provide more accurate assessments around historical buildings to ensure these truly amazing structures are retained and appreciated for generations to come.

This session will cover the "bare bones” setup of an Autodesk Docs central file-sharing site with granular permissions for use by a construction team during building information modeling (BIM) coordination. A builder's construction technology manager will demonstrate how Autodesk Collaborate supported by Autodesk add-ins can be used as a shared on-demand syncing tool for teams that still favor Navisworks Manage to run clash detection between a diverse mix of trade partners working both in and out of the cloud. Autodesk technical experts will provide supplementary advice along the way to show how teams can make use of new features in the Autodesk Construction Cloud environment to take this strategy to the next level by removing roadblocks seen in previous versions of the product.

RHDHV's mission is to enhance society, and digitalization has become an integral part of this mission. The importance of building information modeling (BIM) data is therefore growing rapidly. However, ensuring consistency in a large and global organization is a challenge. This class will provide insight into how RHDHV envisions its staff working in a consistent manner and producing consistent BIM data. The session will cover the use of standards, guidelines, content, and tools to standardize workflows, as well as practices from the software development industry to streamline this. We'll discuss automation as a means of generating content in line with standards and reducing the need for extensive training. We'll explore collaboration in a cloud platform, along with cloud tools and dashboarding to validate consistent BIM data across the organization. You will gain insight into how RHDHV overcomes its BIM data consistency challenges, and how you can apply these strategies to your own organization.

Although industry has changed with digital transformation, the outputs delivered at handover to safely maintain and operate an asset remain widely the same. The reality is that handover data accuracy and delivery formats can vary dramatically, often making it difficult to adopt in operation without wasting time and money reformatting. While handover information has evolved from paper to somewhat digital (PDF, COBie, and IFC, for example), we still see common errors at handover. One reason is that our authoring tool databases can't easily deliver these standard formats. So, what if we could keep models data light? What if the person with the knowledge rather than the software skills could input directly into a connected data pool? What if we could see a history of design and construction information at handover? This class will show you how Perkins&Will is working to deliver, via a centralized platform, connected data sets that are open, flexible, structured, reusable, and extensible.

While the advent of building information modeling (BIM) brought the promise of common ways of working, joined up delivery teams, and connected data sets, it also introduced a new language, complex standards, and siloed BIM experts. These have since been wrapped into an international standard in the form of the ISO 19650 suite. While ISO 19650 has been in place for a number of years, uptake has been mostly seen in our London office. But recently, we've seen it emerge in our U.S. studios. This class will explain the fundamentals of ISO 19650; explore what it means to owner, designer, and constructor; and discuss how to align with a strategic and pragmatic approach rather than mandating verbatim. Having led project BIM processes for well over a decade, Perkins&Will has gained insight, experience, and understanding regarding what does and doesn't work for a range of clients across different sectors. This class will leave you armed with a firm knowledge of what is important when adopting ISO 19650 without needing endless added hours to ensure alignment.

For years, Topcon has been at the forefront of automating blade control and machine control systems. Today, we are integrating and automating traditional manual workflows to enhance project controls. These innovations are made accessible through intuitive dashboards, providing valuable project insights. Construction companies utilize multiple technology tools for project delivery efficiency. These tools focus on executing tasks and are not easily integrated into an overall project technology ecosystem, creating manual data management and project inefficiencies. Today, a new environment of open APIs has changed how data can be exchanged utilizing automation. Join industry experts that will share their experiences and perspectives on the common field-to-office exchanges, emphasizing heavy civil construction, connecting updated schedules and designs with machines through automated workflows.

Exchanging project data between applications is a favorite problem in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC): Offices need to manage the risk involved in undersharing and oversharing. Collaborators need to understand if they're working on the same version of a project. And data formats must be compatible. While desktop software systems are the powerhouses driving design and engineering workflows, teams need to communicate beyond their desks, often through distributed cloud interfaces that change rapidly. The software development teams for Revit software, Autodesk Forma, and Autodesk Docs have created multiple ways to address interoperability problems, and have had hundreds of hours of conversations with project clients and AEC professionals about what does and doesn't work. The most-promising methods include rapidly evolving cloud applications that change and improve constantly. This class will summarize these findings, identify the most-recent tools available to solve interoperability challenges, and look down the road to emerging methods for teams to share data.

The XR team at Autodesk will join an architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) customer to lead this hands-on session where you'll learn about practical methods for hosting more-effective design reviews in today's hybrid work environment using extended reality (XR).
