Clayco has been using BIM 360 Field software for more than 10 years, and in the last few years, the firm has migrated more and more of its projects to the BIM 360 Build platform. Today, 95% of Clayco’s projects are actively using this new platform to exchange design drawings/models and to conduct quality and safety inspections. This class will discuss in detail how Clayco is implementing BIM 360 Build in terms of the current successes, ongoing challenges, and lessons learned over the course of the firm’s adoption. A key part of Clayco’s implementation has been working closely with Autodesk and providing them with feedback on specific BIM 360 Build features, functionality, and end-user workflows and requests. This class will also focus on how Clayco is tracking the effectiveness of its implementation through end-user feedback and quantitative/qualitative metrics using Microsoft Power BI. This session is a follow up to last year’s Autodesk University class ("Bridging the Gap from Office to Field Using BIM 360").

How can you deliver a building with BIM 360 classic Field and Build (next gen). What are the differences and why is BIM 360 a great tool? We put a form in the system as a checklist so that every room in the building could be checked on flaws, mistakes, and defects. It is the perfect world when these issues are sent directly to the person responsible for that part. In our case we couldn't get our partners to use BIM 360 in the right way. But even with this minor problem we had control over all our issues and could manage without using Excel or Word. This was with BIM 360 classic Field and actually it worked quite well. We had to wait with BIM 360 Build (next gen) because the feature 'signatures' wasn't available yet. But when it was, the process to deliver became even better, because we didn't have to synchronise anymore! Now the data on the iPad was immediately the same as on the computer or smartphone for that matter. When I told my colleagues about the app on the phone they were very excited. Our quality and safety guy was really enthusiastic about BIM 360 Field but couldn't see an overview of the same issues in the projects, so we build a website that shows us all data that is in the cloud. This is also very helpful to look at the big picture and what can we learn from this. Using Python with the modules flask and pandas, we were able to do a company-wide data analysis. With this analysis we had more insights in what was happening on the construction site. Implementing BIM 360 in an analogue workflow is tough. Colleagues are used to print, draw, sketch, sign, email to a partner, and wait for an answer. With BIM 360 this process is very different. We mail every question, from RFI to review assignments. But with BIM 360 we now have more control over our reviews and RFIs.

As an extension to the popular BIM 360 Surgery YouTube series comes the live session where you’ll learn 45 tips for working and configuring BIM 360 software. Discover some top-secret BIM 360 software features that will cut the tedium and boost your ability in using BIM 360. This class will cover all BIM 360 modules, from BIM 360 Docs software right through to BIM 360 Build software.

One of our industry’s greatest challenges is sharing timely information between preconstruction and construction teams. Translating the current communication deficiencies into an IPD project makes the challenge even greater. Dealing with different teams outside your company, their unique workflows, and varied project management tools can be overwhelming. It requires the adoption of a common data environment and established workflows between the owner and the rest of the IPD partners. Engaging with a lean BIM (Building Information Modeling) mindset, attendees will identify the key elements to make the most out of workflows for BIM 360 Docs, BIM 360 Design, and BIM 360 Build software. We will go through the project’s framework and bridge the gap of siloed data project management with BIM 360 software. We’ve streamlined the stakeholders’ communication by reducing up to 35% of response and approval times regarding issues, RFIs, submittals, and field checklists.

A large number of technology point solutions attempt to address project management workflows by providing tools for managing RFIs and submittals. Unfortunately, these tools can also create additional confusion by forcing teams to switch between apps, while increasing the potential for data loss and missed communications.   Join the BIM 360 product management team to explore the capabilities of BIM 360 Build in support of project management and project controls workflows, including the management of RFIs and Submittals. This session will cover how customers can customize BIM 360 to meet the contractual procedures, communication processes, and standards set for your projects. In addition, it will provide an update on the newest capabilities in the BIM 360 Project Management module.

How can we tell the story of BIM 360 software to the diverse world of design and construction companies? In this presentation, we’ll be looking at the key benefits of the different tools that make up the offering and how they address key needs of architecture, engineering, and construction stakeholder companies, whether they’re just starting on the journey of digitalization or are looking into some more-advanced workflows using BIM 360 Design software, BIM 360 Coordinate software, BIM 360 Build software, or BIM 360 Document Management software. We’ll be looking at a possible total workflow, adding design data to our single source of truth (BIM 360 Document Management) in various ways (BIM 360 Design, Vault, and Revit server), and then following through from preconstruction to site management.

Project quality control and safety are critical to a project's success. Having access to tools to easily standardize, input, and resolve quality control and safety issues can improve utilization of such tools on a project. BIM 360 Field Management software enables teams to quickly create and implement checklists on a project based on existing templates or created from scratch. This class will provide site admins with best practices for developing various types of checklists for field management in BIM 360 Build software. Learn tips and tricks for creating effective checklist templates for designers, project engineers, contractors, and commissioning agents. Design and implement checklists not only for managing the current project process, but also for efficiently transferring collected data for project turnover to BIM 360 Ops software or other databases.

Sustainability and cost efficiency for residential building is more important than ever. We will present with our customer Haas an integrated workflow from the configurator, an automated detailed design process in Revit to fabrication and the construction site. This digital process allows prospects to visually configure and calculate any residential or family timber house. These visualization of the customer's request via the house configurator leads to a faster and high-quality discussion with the customer. Seamless transition from configuration to design in Autodesk Revit ensures that no extra detail design work must be carried out manually. That model is transferred into the fabrication process and finally all data is leveraged via BIM360/ACC BUILD on construction sites for project and quality management and daily logs.

This class is designed for project management (PM) team in terms of managing the project during the design as well as construction phase, which is enhanced by BIM 360 software. Along with the intelligent models that are being developed widely in the construction industry today, design collaboration and coordination is one of the challenges for the PM team, especially projects with many designers in different locations. Managing several kinds of documents in the construction phase—such as RFI, submittals, inspections, reports, and so on—is also challenging the PM team without standardization and response-in-time procedure. However, all those challenges can be minimized. With BIM 360 and project case studies, this class will provide the method to set up BIM 360 as a common data environment for design collaboration and coordination using a couple of BIM 360 features and a customized workflow. Moreover, a digital procedure in this class with BIM 360 Build software will help a PM team in the standardizing and digitizing of site workflow on RFIs, transmittals management, site inspection, safety, QA and QC, reports and more.

Is your company “old school” and resistant to change? We feel your pain. We live your nightmare. Impacting culture change is difficult, stressful, and at times hopeless, and if it’s not addressed, it can cause a dire situation. This class will dive into the processes, technology, and teamwork that went into taking a company that was resistant to change, to a company that embraces technology implementation and utilization. This is a story of a construction company stuck in its ways, and it tells how the implementation of BIM 360 Docs software, BIM 360 Glue software, and BIM 360 Build software changed the way we build projects, exchange information, collaborate, and establish more-efficient processes.

What are the possibilities when we talk about IoT (Internet of Things) and BIM (Building Information Modeling)? Well, when we integrate through Forge intelligent models and Microsoft Azure IoT Hub, we can have a world of possibilities and insight with machine learning. In this lecture, you will see how data collected with BIM 360 software to make an inventory were connected with equipment in the building to monitor what was going on and make predictive analysis, in order to cut building maintenance costs. You’ll see how BIM 360 Ops software can be used to open and close maintenance tickets.

This presentation will detail how Clayco has used the "Punch as You Build" process to streamline the usage of checklists and issues for quality-control tracking within the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform (BIM 360 and Autodesk Build). We'll not only cover how we've standardized issue types and subtypes across the enterprise (from early design to construction and even warranty), but also how we employ standard checklist and issue workflows across our 100+ concurrent projects. Furthermore, our presentation will demonstrate the benefits of standardization in developing and identifying enterprise-level, high-risk quality trends and solutions. We'll highlight the functionality and value of this process through the success one of our Clayco project teams had from implementing a culture of quality with the "Punch as You Build" process.

This class will focus on how Clayco has implemented best practices around deploying BIM 360 software on its projects for issue tracking, quality assurance / quality control, model coordination, and asset tracking. Building depth and developing synergies with multiple stakeholders is essential for creating an environment that lets BIM 360 be a trusted and utilized platform in the design-build process. It is critical from the project’s start to have clearly defined expectations, as well as mapped support for all project users. Empowering "project champions" decentralizes administrative support, which bridges the gap between what the field needs and how best the office can support it. Creating user-specific training allows for greater insight into the workflows of various stakeholders, and increases the ability for more-accurate data capture. We’ll also discuss utilizing Forge integrations such as Smartvid.io and 360 Sync to streamline access to vital construction information.
