Explore shared design data before accepting the data in order to understand how new design information will impact work-in-progress. Easily visualize and contextualize design changes by team, project phase, or building level. Also, exchange design data in curated packages with strict controls, easily managing how the project team consumes design data. Gain an overall picture of a project, tracking design progress in a shared timeline with the ability to aggregate and view different design scenarios. With Design Collaboration, project teams can: This builds trust within the project team, and ultimately, speeds up the coordination process and gets higher quality designs to site sooner, reducing rework and improving project delivery.” The ability to easily identify changes between versions also ensures our trade teams are working off the latest models. Paul Nunn, National BIM Manager at Hansen Yuncken said, “As a general contractor, access to Design Collaboration provides us transparency into the model versions being used. As a result, AEC teams can reduce distractions and rework, maintain fidelity of design intent through construction, increase team productivity, and accelerate project delivery.

As a leading solution for AEC collaboration, Design Collaboration helps teams centralize project data, connect their workspaces, and collaborate in smarter, more extensible ways on increasingly complex projects. It enables teams, whether within one company or across multiple companies, to collaborate securely and in real-time on Revit and IFC files. Design Collaborationĭesign Collaboration is Autodesk’s design collaboration and data management solution for the AEC project lifecycle. Benefits of Autodesk BIM CollaborateĪutodesk BIM Collaborate includes solutions for design collaboration and coordination workflows to ensure high quality designs make it to the site. The improved workflow reduces rework, improves productivity, and accelerates project delivery. This includes model review and markups, issue management, change analysis, and clash detection – all within a single, cloud-based solution in a common data environment.

Īutodesk BIM Collaborate empowers project teams to align and execute on design intent and constructability by managing the entire design collaboration and coordination process. That’s why we’re excited to announce a brand-new product offering: Autodesk® BIM Collaborate. Introducing Autodesk BIM CollaborateĪt Autodesk, we’ve recognized a clear need in the AEC industry to improve the coordination and design collaboration processes. These issues – all centered around collaboration – can easily lead to negative business outcomes like increased schedule risk, rework, and cost overruns. Poor digital collaboration makes teams highly dependent on in-person meetings and emails.A disconnected workflow spread across multiple solutions creates information silos.Clash detection and issue management rely on a single power user, creating bottlenecks.Inconsistent design data exchange leads to multiple sources of truth.However, many firms still struggle to create streamlined model coordination and design collaboration workflows. It’s easy to understand why given a recent Autodesk and FMI report showing rework costs the construction industry $65 billion a year. According to a report by JBKnowledge, 63.5% of general contractors say the highest value use case of BIM in construction today is model coordination. Nowhere is this more apparent than between design and construction. Because of this, there’s a widespread need for connected workflows that facilitate better collaboration and coordination earlier in the construction process. Projects have only grown in complexity, putting higher demands on teams as they collect, share, and process massive amounts of data. Successfully delivering a construction project requires a massive team of contributors to work together - but today, effective collaboration has become more difficult than ever.
