Autodesk Integrates BuildingConnected with PlanGrid to Streamline Workflows Between Preconstruction and Field Teams

About this update from Autodesk, Inc.

[{"type":"text","content":"SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Aug. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced it has integrated BuildingConnected bid management solutions with PlanGrid technology, enabling the seamless transfer of data from preconstruction to the building process. The integration allows construction project managers to automatically push design and preconstruction files from BuildingConnected to PlanGrid, saving time, reducing errors and further enhancing the cost savings associated with using both platforms. With this integration, project managers can also easily connect field workers with project planning and estimation workflows used throughout the building process.\n\n \nIntegrating BuildingConnected with PlanGrid solves a major problem for project managers, who typically use the same designs, plans, estimates and other documentation during preconstruction as in the construction phase. Historically, managers have needed to manually transfer these files and documents into field collaboration software, a time-consuming and repetitive process that can result in missing files or data errors – and ultimately, miscommunications and project delays. \nNow, project managers can create PlanGrid projects directly in BuildingConnected. With a simple \"push to PlanGrid\" button, all project files in BuildingConnected are automatically sent to PlanGrid where they can be accessed immediately from mobile devices in the field. By transferring design and preconstruction files into PlanGrid, managers can sidestep manual project creation and ensure that accurate and holistic data is available to field teams.\n\"Successful project execution starts the moment we win a deal. Our team immediately goes into overdrive to make sure we maximize efficiency throughout the entire build process, connecting workflows and seamlessly transferring complex data from the design and planning phase into the hands of workers on the jobsite,\" said Mike Mehrwin, VDC manager, CRB. \"By taking advantage of the BuildingConnected and PlanGrid integration, we'll be able to close the gap between the preconstruction and building process and enable deeper collaboration between our office and field teams.\" \n\"The construction industry has struggled with transferring information from one project to another, and across the different phases of a building project. It's easy...
