Autodeskannounced a new integration of several of its design and construction management software tools Nov. 18 at its Connect & Construct trade show in Las Vegas.

Autodesk Construction Cloud结合了现有的设计和建筑工具。升级需要50多个软件的增强功能和集成,包括对施工管理平台BIM 360的更改。新的预测分析功能使数据可以从设计到施工到操作的更无缝的方式流动。


New Model

Assemble, BuildingConnected, BIM 360 and PlanGrid are the main products that have been updated and enhanced as part of Construction Cloud with enhancements and deeper integrations between each of them to allow project data to flow across all stages of construction, according to Jim Lynch, Autodesk’s vice president and general manager of construction solutions.

It also includes new artificial intelligence functionality to help construction teams identify and mitigate design risks.

“The idea is we bring three key pillars together,” Lynch says. The first is “the advanced technology of the products we bought, including BIM 360 but coupled with Assemble, BuildingConnected and PlanGrid. And then the second pillar is the [subcontractor] network that we got with BuildingConnected that is 950,000-strong, so it’s meaningful.”

林奇说,建筑云的第三个支柱是基于Construction IQ和Tradetapp的预测见解能力。林奇说:“ [tradetapp]是减轻分包商风险的工具,并使用机器学习算法可以从本质上提取数据,提取关键见解和学习,并提取以前被孤立的数据。”

Autodesk于去年12月收购了建筑连接的一部分时,正在使用Construction IQ开发自己的预测性见解能力。林奇说,将这些开发团队组合在一起为预测见解机会增加了马力。

“What I think you’ll see us do is extend the predictive insights opportunity from what happens on the job site into the pre-construction planning phase, which is really what TradeTapp does, then into construction and, eventually, handover,” Lynch says.

Instead of a single bundled product price, Autodesk Construction Cloud costs will vary depending on which of the four main products—Assemble, BuildingConnected, PlanGrid and BIM 360—a customer uses.

Jenny Moshea, head of technology at Seattle-based Sellen Construction, uses Assemble, BuildingConnected and Autodesk’s design products. She says that closer data connections are what Sellen needs for its projects.

她说:“我们希望成为成本和计划数据的领导者。”“这样做的方法是将所有数据放在所有团队正在使用的地方,然后可以以不同的方式旋转它。这确实是塞伦(Sellen)2025策略的推动力,因为我们着手捕获数据和可视化数据的新方法。”


Project Portfolio

Some of the projects Sellen has completed include Amazon Seattle Headquarters, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Headquarters and Seattle Children’s Hospital.

塞伦(Sellen)对汇集的使用使它可以集中3D型号并通过BIM 360云共享。

“Pulling the files down locally is a huge interrupter of workflows for us,” Moshea says. “The file saving, the file sharing, the file moving, that is what really snags our project teams in their day to day operations. It’s not only the complexity, that’s a part of it. We’ve been doing complex projects over our 75-year history but access to [models and files] is what’s really helped our projects managers make decisions and plan.”
