AUTODESK CONSTRUCTION CLOUD

Autodesk Construction Cloud – Comprehensive Solution for Digital Construction Site Management

Autodesk Construction Cloud is an integrated platform that connects teams, data, and workflows in the construction industry, providing a unified cloud environment for the complete management of construction projects of any size. Designed to optimize every phase of the project lifecycle – from design to delivery – the suite enables smooth collaboration between design studios, construction companies, and clients, improving accuracy, efficiency, and control.

Modules included in the platform

✅ ACC - AutoSpecs

Automatically generates submittals from project documents (such as drawings and technical specifications), significantly reducing the time required for their manual creation. AutoSpecs analyzes project specifications and creates a detailed list of required items, ensuring greater accuracy and regulatory compliance.

✅ ACC - Build Unlimited

Provides a centralized environment for site management, with tools for document management, issue management, checklists, submittals, RFI (Requests for Information), daily reports, and safety. The “Unlimited” version allows you to manage an unlimited number of projects and users, ideal for large construction companies.

✅ ACC - Cost

Advanced project cost management, with budget control, change tracking, contract management, and ERP software integration. ACC Cost provides a clear view of financial flows, helping to prevent budget overruns and improving cost forecasting.

✅ ACC - Design Collaboration

Allows teams of architects, engineers, and other designers to collaborate in real time on BIM (Building Information Modeling) models, with file versioning, change tracking, and approved workflows. It optimizes consistency between design disciplines, reducing errors and improving project quality.

✅ ACC - Document Management

A cloud-based centralized document management system that ensures version control, secure access, customized permissions, and activity tracking. It supports CAD formats, PDFs, images, and BIM project files, providing access anywhere and at any time.

✅ ACC - Insight

Predictive analysis and reporting module that aggregates data from all other modules to provide intuitive dashboards, performance indicators (KPIs), and risk metrics. Insight supports data-driven decisions, identifying potential issues before they impact the project.

✅ ACC - Model Coordination

Automates the detection of interferences between disciplinary models (clash detection) and simplifies the review of 3D models. It helps to identify and resolve conflicts before the construction phase, reducing delays and modification costs on site.

✅ ACC - Takeoff

Advanced tool for metric calculations and quantitative estimates directly from 2D and 3D models. It allows pre-construction teams to accurately extract quantities, materials, and expected costs, improving bids and initial planning.

Additional components included

🔹 Content Catalog

Centralized digital library that collects components, families, standards, and materials usable in projects. It facilitates access to updated content and compliant with BIM standards.

🔹 Desktop Connector

Tool that allows you to synchronize local files with Autodesk Docs and other ACC modules, integrating the cloud platform directly with the Windows explorer. Users can work locally with files automatically synchronized in the cloud.

🔹 Validation Tool

Tool for automatic verification of the quality and compliance of BIM models, with customizable checks based on company or regulatory standards. It helps to ensure that models meet the expected requirements before their publication or sharing.
