With Revit software and Advance Steel software, structural engineers have tools available to enable them to take their designs past construction documents and into fabrication and construction. Construction schedules are faster, integrated project delivery is more common, and the Who, How, and When of structural shops drawings and fabrication models are changing. This presentation will show how US-based structural engineers who already create their design models and drawings with Revit software can use this same software to create shops drawings from their fabrication models for rebar, precast, and structural steel, and also create concrete lift drawings. Attendees will learn why these services are offered, how engineers can offer them, and best practices to follow to offer Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based structural shop drawings. This session features Revit Structure and Advance Steel. AIA Approved

(Joint AU/Forge DevCon class).

This session will explore the groundbreaking blockchain technology based on Autodesk Construction Cloud that unlocks today's unused construction data to the streamlined inspection process, boosting 20% of productivity aiming to alleviate labor shortages. This project has more than four dozen stakeholders and serves as a prime example of strong collaboration across the industry, contractors, technology startups, and academics. Features of our platform not only authenticate construction data but also ensure smooth integration of various data through device and applications, enabling the direct use of construction data as an integration platform as a service (iPaaS). A key element of our approach is the integration of design data because it is critical to ensure that the construction result meets the client's requirements. This key element is consistently achieved by using the API integration (Autodesk Platform Services) with Autodesk Construction Cloud.

This engaging class is aimed at construction managers, quality managers, and executives from construction service providers who are evaluating the financial impact of Cloud and Mobile Construction Solutions, such as BIM 360 Field software and BIM 360 Glue software. We will explore a detailed and proven analysis tool for collecting project data and then analyzing and quantifying benefits. We will ask attendees to consider a hypothetical $100 million building project as a tangible example, and we will collect inputs from the audience to foster a collaborative discussion. We will then use the results to estimate a return on investment. Real-world metrics from existing projects and case studies will support each step of the process. The methodology can benefit construction professionals who are already using BIM 360 software on their projects and want to understand how the tools affect their key results areas; prospective users of BIM 360 software can also begin to consider which project areas would benefit from these new technologies.

How does Building Information Modeling (BIM) help architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms extend the services they provide to their clients? This class will look at how Jacobs used BIM on the £350M+ London Blackfriars station project that spans the Thames River in Central London. You will learn about the innovative additional services that they were able to provide to their client Network Rail, constructor Balfour Beatty, and stakeholders and see examples of services that are simply impossible with traditional 2D workflows. The class aims to show how your firm can extend the range of services that it can provide to clients by using BIM. The class will also look at how BIM was used to keep an overground station open with trains passing through during its construction period (nine phases of interim stations) while the London Underground district and circle lines continued to operate under the site. The class will demonstrate how real-time BIM viewing, using Autodesk® Navisworks® software, and planning brought benefits to many stakeholders who had never worked on a BIM-enabled project before.

Municipalities frequently face issues with tight budgets, inefficient processes, legal requirements, and outdated technology that hamper their missions to be good stewards of public resources. The City of Madison Engineering Division was faced with the sunset of legacy software vital to its operations. This class will tell the story of how we improved change orders to construction projects (our most complicated process) through the use of cloud software. Autodesk Construction Cloud was our primary tool, but we quickly realized the benefits of automations through Autodesk Platform Services and Workato. City staff, Autodesk, and our consultant Team D3 provided valuable support and insights throughout this team effort. This class will specifically demonstrate how you can import form data to Cost Management, how document templates save tedious data entry, how review and communications stay in the platform, and how change orders to the contract are digitally approved.

When switching to Revit software using MEP Fabrication Parts, one of the first hurdles you need to cross is understanding how to get services and service templates configured in MEP Fabrication Parts. Many companies are making the transition to MEP Fabrication Parts from AutoCAD and Revit system family routing workflows. Knowing how to navigate the services in MEP Fabrication Parts is key. You will be surprised by how little customization is required to get a basic service to function correctly in Revit. Many of the settings that Fabrication CADmep software and Fabrication ESTmep software require are not necessarily required when using these services in Revit. We will cover how to deal with issues of connectivity and routing while in Revit and what changes to the database will improve routing and product selection.

Everything you need to know about BIM and firestop within a large project. How to design, coordinate and maintain firestop locations. This case study will showcase Hilti’s BIM Services at the PennFIRST Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. We partnered with the customer to improve their workflows and allow the installation process to match the BIM model. Before this, the customer had no way of tracking the product usage and productivity until the end of the project. With such a large IPD project, the customer wanted a new approach to their processes. We have provided services that include modeling the firestop locations based on the UL System matrix, uploading the model to BIM360 Glue, annotating the locations by floor and producing shop drawings. Attendees will gain the knowledge of a growing standard of care in the construction industry.
