Learn the nuts and bolts of PlanGrid—the field’s favorite software that powers more than a million construction projects around the world. PlanGrid Consulting Manager Jessica Pollack has introduced PlanGrid to thousands of people, many of whom had never used mobile apps for construction before. Get an overview of what PlanGrid offers, and learn how to get started, and how to start using it with your teams in the field.

Businesses waste more than trees when they rely on paper documentation to do work. They waste money. They waste time. They invite liability. Every day, businesses in our industry continue to place valuable information that can protect them on paper in the trailer, where it can get lost or damaged, or be inaccessible when needed. If you’ve ever struggled to put together a complete record drawing set or fished through boxes of loose papers for a safety document, you know how frustrating it can be to do your job with antiquated processes. In this class, we’ll show you how to get set up with a program that will help you digitize your field support and safety efforts and bring these processes into the 21st century, using advanced workflows in PlanGrid that go beyond what you can learn from the PlanGrid trainers themselves.

Attendees will learn about the real issues involved with rolling new technology out to field teams. We’ll cover the overall view of technology within field operations staff. We’ll go over a brief history of mobile technology, where we’ve come from, and where we’ll be going in the next 10 years. We will present a use case at Hudson yard where we rolled out PlanGrid in the field, and we’ll go over why it worked, what struggles we had, and what major lessons we learned. And we will cover how to develop a technology implantation plan and conduct a tech rollout.

Many of the processes we use to manage construction operations are designed around outdated paper-based workflows. Simply digitizing these paper-based processes is not enough to bring the improvements we need to see in the field. The management of plan revisions, information requests, and product submittal data are critical to a successful buildout, but the traditional paper-based processes used to manage them are slow and limit access to information, resulting in delays and rework. PlanGrid reimagines each of these processes by using digital workflows that enable the entire construction team—from the designers, to the project managers, to the on-site tradespeople—to stay up to date. Learn how to use PlanGrid to manage plan revisions, requests for information, and product submittals in a way that’s more productive and more transparent, all while enhancing collaboration and access to information to reduce delays and rework.

Join this interactive session to see Construction Technology in action with a live case study from Righetti Partners. Yvonne Schröder will share her experience implementing a shared technology platform across their business to help drive closer collaboration and strengthen relationships with subcontractors, partners and customers. Aditya will join Yvonne to provide a demonstration of PlanGrid, using real examples to drill into the solution and show the power of construction technology. Attendees will have the opportunity to get hands on experience during the session, which will conclude with a questions and answers session with Aditya and Yvonne.

This session is a follow-up of the class presented last year about the “Virtual construction site management with advanced workflow in BIM360” (CS468465). We will describe the improvements made this year through the adoption of the Build module including the PlanGrid Build mobile app for field workers. We’ve been widely extending the use of Construction Cloud with digitalization of other construction processes in addition of those already implemented. We are focusing our attention on setting up a workflow for safety and environmental check in the work site.Using Forge and Construction Cloud Connect, we are developing integration with other company database and Legacy IT systems, to avoid data redundancy and to build up integrated dashboards. In upcoming years we will be able to manage and improve the construction process of linear infrastructure projects with ConstructionCloud in order to improve data quality, reduce costs and time by 60%, reduce wastefulness and promote sustainability

With last year’s acquisition of PlanGrid, there are a lot of questions about when to use PlanGrid and when to use BIM 360 for field collaboration workflows like quality, safety and project management. This class will help to answer those questions and to provide an update on how Autodesk is working towards helping you use the solutions together effectively and efficiently.   Discover the strengths of these best in class, easy to use field collaboration solutions and how Autodesk is working towards integrating BIM 360 and PlanGrid to deliver modern field collaboration solutions to the industry.

"If you want the same result, do the same thing. If you want something different, do something different." These words from the speaker’s leadership hit home when first heard as a young virtual design and construction (VDC) engineer after grinding through the first coordination project. After hitting road blocks with communicating issues in the coordination process, losing information in too many repositories, wasting time running back and forth to the trailer, and not having the data to learn what to do different, the speaker and team have created smarter workflows and processes to better plan, do, check, and perform their efforts.

PlanGrid’s customer advocates Peter Razavi and Lorrin Blair have worked with hundreds of companies around the country to help implement PlanGrid according to their unique needs. In this session, you’ll learn how different companies have set up and standardized their workflows to maximize efficiency and productivity. Razavi and Blair will discuss real customer stories and lessons learned based on company business model, size, and region.

This masterclass will cover how to link PlanGrid with next-generation BIM 360 Docs software by utilizing the power of data collection through BIM 360 workflows and PlanGrid field reports. The speaker will be able to demonstrate the added benefit of being able to maximize data for trend analysis via Microsoft Power Bi and automatic modeling by integrating the output with Dynamo software. We will cover basic principles of PlanGrid and usability for the average user, alongside best practices, work-arounds, shortcuts, limitations, and benefits. We will explore an array of case studies, giving live project application examples and how they’ve integrated with external tools, such as What3Words.

Construction Cloud is today being used across a large range of projects globally. This session will demonstrate a number of use cases, including how PlanGrid is helping build and maintain railways, Assemble is being used to quantify materials in dams, BuildingConnected is being used to source subcontractors for road projects, and BIM 360 software is being used to manage complex infrastructure projects. We will also show how Autodesk partners are being used in conjunction with Construction Cloud products to help infrastructure asset owners better use the data collected on a project.

Introduced at Autodesk University 2019, Construction Cloud brings together the most powerful portfolio of construction management software products in the industry, supporting workflows spanning all phases of construction—from design, to planning, to building, to operations. There is tremendous breadth of supported workflows, depth of capabilities in each of the software products, and connectivity of data between those products. Over the past year, Autodesk has focused on three main areas of advancement with Construction Cloud: continuing investment into improving Assemble, BuildingConnected, PlanGrid, and BIM 360 software; delivering more integrations and connectivity between the products; and building a unified platform. This class will show how Construction Cloud has advanced over the course of the last 12 months, and we’ll explore the workflows from design through operations that can be supported by the products.
