The numbers tell a clear story: firms using Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) see gains across cost control, productivity, and schedule reliability. Right out of the gate, the report shows solid improvements in quality, with respondents reporting 41% fewer defects and 36% less rework with ACC.
When it comes to schedules, the ROI is just as clear: on-time completion rates are up 50%, according to Autodesk users.
One thing to note is that the report goes beyond self-reported results. Our findings are also backed by verified case studies that ground data into real-world outcomes.
Firms that use Autodesk Construction Cloud benefit from streamlined operations and reduced administrative overhead. Autodesk offers enhanced data visibility, automation tools, and connected workflows, all of which lead to smarter decisions and faster project delivery.
When it comes to construction estimating, for example, respondents report a 34% improvement in accuracy. ACC solutions give teams more precise estimates, helping them avoid cost overruns and keep projects moving forward with confidence.
Take, for example, Windover Construction, which achieved a 30% faster estimating process with the use of Autodesk.
"Autodesk Takeoff allows us, as estimators, to focus on what matters, providing a greater level of expertise to our clients." - Vice President of Preconstruction and Head of the Estimating team at Windover Construction
Autodesk brings all your teams, tools, and data into a common data environment, so everyone stays aligned across all stages of the project.
Having a centralized solution not only improves collaboration, it also drives higher-quality outcomes by reducing errors and inconsistencies. When teams aren't busy chasing down data or dealing with miscommunication, they're able to focus on the project itself and uphold higher quality standards.
Our survey reveals that ACC users experience a 31% boost in productivity thanks to fewer manual processes and tighter digital workflows.
Consider the case of CCPI. The firm delivered 97.8% of projects on time and within budget with the help of Autodesk Build.
"Combining our project and cost management workflows in Build creates greater visibility into project data. With our data in one environment, we can easily trace a change order back to an issue that was converted into an RFI, and so on."- Director of Technology, CPPI
ACC's comprehensive suite of solutions serves the entire project lifecycle.
This gives you an edge and positions your firm to outperform competitors. When you have access to tools that streamline everything from preconstruction to closeout, you can win more bids, deliver projects to a higher standard, and grow your business faster.
Just ask Bowman Construction, which turned efficiency into growth:
"This year has been a record year for Bowman Flooring Contractor. We're $9 million over where we were last year, and we've increased our win rate by 25%. We normally average 300 restaurants per year, but this year we're already contracted to do 380." - Senior Project Manager, Bowman Construction
Beyond win rates, ACC users also see measurable improvements in project delivery, with customers reporting a 50% increase in on-time completion.
