In construction, about 70% of rework<\/a> can be traced back to the disconnect between design and what\u2019s actually constructible<\/em>. The further along a construction project is, the more difficult and costly changes become. By focusing on constructability in the design phase, teams can aim to avoid expensive rework down the line. And when most of a project\u2019s value is created in the beginning stages<\/a> when mistakes are easier to fix, the importance of getting it right early is greater than\u202fever\u2014making consistent communication crucial. To that end, today, we\u2019re announcing multiple solutions to support project teams in\u202fmaking everyday decisions\u202fearlier without the need for technical expertise or specialist applications. These new capabilities will provide holistic and tactical support to help teams prioritize tasks, assess tradeoffs, build on intuition, and validate\u202fassumptions so choices made are more informed. Let\u2019s take a look at how these new releases will strengthen the connection between design and make. <\/p>\n

Gain access to relevant information with early and often\u202fcommunication<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s critical for project teams to be able to trust that their documents are construction-ready, recent, and accurate, as irrelevant and hard-to-access information leads to confusion, disputes, and mistakes. To help with this, we\u2019re releasing Correspondence<\/a>, which centralizes all project communication created or\u202fcollected in a single source of\u202ftruth. Correspondence provides project leaders with open-ended, searchable,\u202fand manageable communications stored\u202fwithin\u202fAutodesk\u202fConstruction Cloud<\/a> (ACC) to make it easier to communicate and\u202funcover key decisions. Project teams can create\u202fand\u202forganize all correspondence from ACC and import threads directly from Outlook or Gmail. All communication is now easily retrievable to ensure project quality and\u202fminimize disputes. \u201cThe Correspondence tool is incredibly positive,\u201d said Chris Rossetto, VDC Manager at Hansen Yuncken. \u201cIt is potentially a massive game changer for us and the industry. We currently feel stuck in the way we manage correspondence and store project information on rudimentary platforms that are considered to be the industry standard for clients. I am excited for what\u2019s coming up\u2014this could eventually bring us a step closer to running a single-platform common data environment (CDE).\u201d Next, because design models can be overwhelming for field teams, we\u2019re launching Model Quality Workflows<\/strong>, a collection of releases that supports the\u202ftranslation of design models into construction-ready models. This month\u2019s\u202frelease enables anyone on the project team, from the BIM manager to the project engineer, to curate custom views for teams onsite that are hyper-relevant and easy to digest. By providing teams with access to well-defined models early and often, onsite teams have what they need to improve installation productivity. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re also releasing the Sheets Collection<\/strong>, which helps teams more clearly organize sheets and quickly access relevant drawings. Those who oversee construction\u202fprojects with multiple buildings will be able to store and manage drawings with\u202fidentical names, streamlining the document management workflow,\u202fand\u202fcentralizing important construction data in a single location. This feature removes the cumbersome need to create and own\u202fmultiple projects or prefix sheet names to get the job done. Sheets are accessible to teams in the office and field\u202ffor larger multi-building projects. <\/p>\n

Reduce technology management and streamline systems of record<\/h3>\n

In the AEC industry, time is often wasted switching between different applications to perform\u202fspecific actions. Many firms keep information siloed in disconnected systems, inadvertently causing delays and\u202fnegatively impacting decision-making. With ACC, we aim to help our customers maintain workflows within a single application and a shared system of record. That\u2019s why we\u2019ll also soon be releasing Bridge for Closed RFIs<\/strong>, allowing users to share\u202fclosed RFIs across projects or accounts using Bridge, providing all stakeholders with the answers they need to make confident decisions. This capability broadens\u202fthe types of information that can be shared across organizations and allows teams to retain critical information throughout the project lifecycle and after the job ends. Another recent example of how we\u2019re dedicated to giving construction professionals the tools they need to make smarter decisions is this summer’s release of the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator<\/a> (EC3) integration for ACC. The EC3 integration enables users to stay in their system of record to perform carbon emission calculations and empowers teams to make more sustainable choices when selecting materials for a project. This reduced technology management across the board improves both productivity and the ability to make informed decisions quickly with access to the right information. <\/p>\n

Support individual productivity and maintain project\u202ftransparency<\/h3>\n

Manual systems and a disconnect between 2D and 3D workflows often lead to poor decision-making, which can impact schedule and budget. With today\u2019s releases, a major focus is increasing project transparency and cutting through the noise to bring construction teams only the most relevant information they need for the task at hand. Expanding individual capacity by providing simplified and relevant\u202finformation at every point of the project leads to greater\u202fproductivity overall. With ACC\u2019s latest announcements, we\u2019re striving to empower more informed decision-making, bringing accurate and up-to-date project data directly to construction teams\u2019\u202ffingertips when they need it and where they need it so our customers can continue to deliver high quality projects on-time and on-budget. <\/p>\n
