There are rising needs for higher productivity, influenced by factors like overtime regulations, project complexity, and reduced proficiency among management. We were able to efficiently manage large-scale projects without delays by adapting Autodesk Construction Cloud and collaborating with project stakeholders. Drawing management relied heavily on Excel, which can be questionable due to difficulties in visualizing progress and understanding interrelationships with drawings and order changes. These miscommunications cause delays in 20% of projects. To address this, Autodesk Construction Cloud can not only integrate data with models, but also allow for better visualization, especially during schedule changes, with the goal of eliminating misunderstandings and material order delays. We achieve zero delays stemming from the procurement process across all Autodesk Construction Cloud-adapted projects. This initiative is then integrated into on-site construction progress management.

Data-driven decision-making is crucial for project success, enabling informed choices and continuous improvement. Platforms like Assemble and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) store valuable data that, when used effectively, can significantly enhance project outcomes. The Power BI connector facilitates seamless data collection and organization from these platforms, allowing for smooth transfer and integration into Power BI for visualization and analysis. Project teams can leverage these insights to optimize project progress by identifying areas for improvement and potential risks, enabling proactive issue prevention and resolution. This minimizes costs, delays, and quality problems. Additionally, retrospective data analysis allows learning from past successes and failures, leading to more informed decisions for future projects. This data-driven approach fosters a culture of continuous learning and improvement, resulting in increased competitiveness and client satisfaction.
