Learning Objectives
 Understand the product roadmap for the field and project managemnet tools in the
Autodesk Construction Cloud
 Discover the benefits of a single platform
 Engage with the Autodesk R&D team to provide input into the roadmap
 Understand the timing of upcoming Autodesk Construction Cloud product updates.
Description
Every construction project team needs the right tools to support key workflows including QA/QC,
safety, RFIs, cost and progress and, today, teams use a number of different tools and
techniques to execute them. The risks of using various applications and processes for these are
poor information access, lack of connectivity and collaboration between the office and the field,
and tools that are built for either field workers on mobile devices or office workers on laptops.
The vision of Autodesk Construction Cloud is to enable connectivity across the project, and this
session will provide an update on the future product roadmap for field and project management
capabilities.

Summary
As you may have heard by now, Autodesk Construction Cloud has taken the next step in
delivering a unified offering to our customers. Specifically for Field and Project Management
users, we have combined the best of breed features from both PlanGrid and BIM 360.
How is Autodesk Build different than BIM 360 or PlanGrid?

Two years ago when Autodesk made the acquisition of PlanGrid,
this unified platform was one of the main goals. PlanGrid on its
own was a best in class solution. The same can be said for BIM
360. With Autodesk Build, the features, functionality, and
workflows you love most from each have been combined. The
good news is we’re not just stopping there. We’re already building
on the momentum of joining forces and adding features and functionality that is new to both
customer bases.
An example of combining the best

of both platforms can be found in
Autodesk Builds Issue service.
Customizable issues gives you the
leverage and freedom to create
pins with labels, that signify what
the actual issue is for. The colors
of the pins as it progresses through
its lifecycle is a BIM 360 feature.
We can also take a look at Docs

for an example. The power of the
PlanGrid OCR toolset combined
with the Reviews and documents
workflows of BIM 360 create a
document management platform
like no other.
You’ll find many instances in which

we’re better together, and the main
beneficiary is you, our customers.
Again, we’re not stopping there. We know that there is always room to improve, and that is
where the feedback of our users has been so critical. One piece of feedback that we’ve heard
many times, is that the ability to move an Issue to an RFI, or an RFI to a Change Order is a
critical step in condensing the time it takes to progress the issue into the next workflow. With

that information in mind, one of the features that we’ve brough to Build that cannot be found in
PlanGrid or BIM 360 is just that.
Here’s how the progression could look:

 An issue is created by a foreman on site indicating a problem in the restroom sinks
installation
 The project manager decides this calls for an RFI to be submitted. An RFI is created
from the Issue with all the relevant information and a by-directional link back to the Issue
 The RFI may lead to a potential change order which can be created from the RFI and of
course retain the link back to the RFI
 The potential change order may get approved or rejected, keeping the information easily
accessible through the linkage between the Issue, RFI and PCO
References to upstream or downstream workflows are not all. You can now also reference
photos, documents, or other forms when working on your inspections.
There’s so much more to

come, too. With Autodesks
more recent investments in
Aurigo, Bridgit, and the
acquisition of Pype, be on
the lookout for news on
those, as well as
discussions, workflows, and
integrations between
Autodesk Build and our new
Digital Twin management
solution, which will
outdoubtely provide
immense value.
