BAM undertakes a diverse range of projects, including residential buildings, commercial properties, infrastructure work such as bridges and roads, and large civil engineering projects such as offshore wind farms and sustainable energy systems.
BAM is committed to developing profitable and sustainable projects that foster ownership, collaboration, and continuous evolution. The company’s emphasis on sustainable construction practices is reflected in its ambitious goals to reduce carbon emissions and enhance the environmental performance of its projects.
“Creating a unified team from both companies and fostering an open culture of transparency and information sharing played a crucial role in our success.”
A shared vision
BAM’s 2024–2026 strategy, entitled Building a Sustainable Tomorrow, aligns perfectly with Autodesk’s vision of transforming the construction industry through innovative digital solutions and sustainability-focused practices. Both companies highlight the importance of digitalisation and industrialisation as key drivers for achieving sustainable growth and enhancing environmental performance.
BAM’s core values – reliable, inclusive, sustainable, collaborative, and ownership – echo Autodesk’s commitment to creating technology that helps its customers design and make a better world for all. This deep alignment strengthens their partnership, enabling them to work together towards common goals and drive significant advancements in the construction industry.
“Through our collaboration with Autodesk, we align our roadmaps and priorities. This is what partnership is about.”
Leveraging technology for strategic success
By leveraging Autodesk technology, BAM is accelerating its strategic business objectives and positioning itself for long-term success. This includes integrating the entire construction lifecycle through Building Information Modelling (BIM) and using AI and data-driven insights to increase efficiency. The company aims to promote collaboration and the reuse of knowledge across projects, while also connecting physical and digital assets to enable seamless management. Construction management processes are being optimised to improve productivity and outcomes, alongside efforts to increase the predictability and sustainability of the supply chain. And Autodesk technology is helping it every step of the way.
“Insights and connecting the data from our CDE platforms (such as ACC) are crucial to maximising the efficiency on our projects and save time for our colleagues.”
