The construction industry has used digital tools for a long time for collaboration and document management. But in today's increasingly competitive environment, more is needed than just basic digitalisation. To design, build and manage buildings in a smarter and more cost-effective way, we need to use digital tools that are both powerful and user-friendly.
One of the biggest challenges in the industry today is to manage and share information effectively. To do this, all project information needs to be gathered in one place, where it is accessible to all parties involved in real time.
Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is at the centre of the construction industry's digital transformation, and with the ever-emerging innovations in AI and cloud-based solutions, there is huge potential to transform the way construction projects are run. ACC is now integrating advanced AI technology, allowing us to not only optimise every stage of projects, but also redefine how we work together. AI helps analyse large amounts of data from previous projects, provide solutions and anticipate potential problems before they even arise. This leads to safer working environments, reduced costs and a higher quality of buildings.
One of the main strengths of ACC is its ability to improve collaboration between all parties involved in a construction project - from architects and engineers to contractors and developers, to management. With the help of AI-powered tools, insights and information can now be shared in real time, not only speeding up the decision-making process but also ensuring that everyone is up to date and working towards the same goal. This creates a significant competitive advantage, especially in larger and more complex projects where coordination between different areas of expertise needs to be smooth and efficient for the project to succeed.
‘What makes the platform different from other solutions is that it's a completely open platform and we can control all parts of the construction process from one place. This allows us to analyse the data collected and make informed decisions and improve our projects in the future.’
Pierre Gullander, Sr. Technical Manager
Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is a collection of tools and services that support all phases of the construction process, from design and planning to construction and operations. The platform consists of four main modules, Docs for document management, Collaborate for design, Take Off for quantities and Build for production.
Integrated ecosystem
One of the biggest advantages of ACC is the integrated ecosystem, where all tools and modules are linked together. This allows for a seamless workflow, where information can easily flow between different phases and teams.
Improved collaboration
ACC improves collaboration between different parties in a construction project by providing tools for real-time communication and document sharing. This reduces the risk of mistakes and increases efficiency.
Cloud-based flexibility
As a cloud-based platform, ACC offers flexibility and scalability, allowing users to access project data anytime, anywhere. The platform is accessible via mobile devices, thanks to which it is possible for clients and team members to access important information and make updates directly from the construction site. This leads to faster communication and better decision-making. This kind of flexibility is particularly important today when project participants are often in different locations.
Risk management and increased security
By bringing all project data together on a secure platform, ACC enables better risk management. With built-in security features and the ability to track changes and access history, project managers can better control and mitigate risks.
Clear roadmap for ACC going forward
ACC continues to evolve with new features and integrations, making it a key part of the digital transformation of the construction industry. With a focus on improving collaboration, safety and efficiency, ACC is expected/will play a central role in future construction projects.
Autodesk Construction Cloud is a powerful platform that offers an integrated and flexible ecosystem to manage the entire construction process from start to finish. By bringing all tools under one umbrella, ACC improves collaboration, increases productivity and reduces risk, making it an invaluable tool for today's construction companies.
