Revolutionising offsite construction workflows
Join us for an industry briefing tailored for Structural Engineers looking to enhance their project workflows. Discover how the Autodesk Construction Cloud facilitates seamless communication between design teams, boosting accuracy, efficiency, and speed in project delivery.
We delve into how Autodesk Docs and Autodesk Build provide a comprehensive solution that streamlines document management, improves collaboration, and optimises project execution. These tools ensure your models stay in sync across teams, minimising the need for rework and re-modeling. Additionally, we’ll examine Model Interoperability, demonstrating how to achieve smooth data flow between Autodesk Revit and FEM analysis software, which enhances both design and engineering processes. You’ll also see how Flexible Manufacturing with Revit, Strucsoft MWF, and Onyx preserves data integrity from design to production.
This briefing addresses common challenges such as inefficient data exchange, fragmented workflows, and limited collaboration among design, manufacturing, installation, and engineering teams. Through case studies and practical demonstrations, you’ll gain insights on improving efficiency, enhancing design quality, and strengthening teamwork.
Whether you’re refining your current processes or exploring new construction technologies, this event provides valuable insights into tools that can elevate your projects. Secure your spot and discover ways to make your projects more successful.

Agenda
» 08.30 – Registration & Coffee
» 09.00 – Welcome & Objectives – Flexible Manufacturing – Demonstrating the flexible workflow of manufacturing with Revit, MWF and Onyx. In this session, we will showcase how these powerful tools seamlessly integrate to bridge the gaps between design and production. You’ll learn how to maintain data integrity and ensure that no design information is lost throughout the entire process.
» 10.30 – Coffee break
» 10.45 – Model Interoperability – Explore the tools and technologies that enable smooth data flow and synchronization between REVIT and FEM analysis software. Through synchronising the architectural and engineering models we can allow designs to move between departments without the need for remodelling and fixes, saving time and improving data accuracy.
» 11.45 – Seamless Communication – between design teams is critical to ensuring accurate, efficient, and timely project delivery. This session will look at how the Autodesk Construction Cloud can aid structural engineers.
Autodesk Docs and Autodesk Build together offer a comprehensive solution tailored for structural engineers, enhancing project management, collaboration, and construction workflows. Autodesk Docs provides a centralised platform for document management, ensuring all design files, drawings, and models are accessible and up to date, which reduces errors and improves efficiency. Autodesk Build extends these capabilities by incorporating powerful tools for project execution, such as issue tracking, quality and safety management, and real-time collaboration across teams.
