Starting the week with the official release of the Autodesk AEC Data Model API! This makes granular data accessible to all Autodesk Docs users. The API has been in the hands of beta customers and partners for some time, and we are seeing it open exciting possibilities. "We’ve been able to reach 60% more structured project data using the API... This means we can glean cross-project insights from more quality data and offer automated client delivery in a standardized way": from Josha van Reij at Arcadis Access to granular data is a big shift toward a future where the right information is more easily accessible for every project stakeholder in the tools that they use daily. There is tremendous opportunity for developers to build extended workflows with the AEC Data Model API that solve specific industry challenges and ultimately enable projects to be delivered with high quality and less cost and waste. Details on the AEC Data Model API: https://lnkd.in/e9E69bda Join us for developer training on July 16-17 where you will get a head start with two days focused entirely on the AEC and Manufacturing Data Model APIs.

Autodesk's AEC Data Model API, now generally available, is a game-changer for the AECO(Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation) industry. It opens up access to granular data and streamlines workflows. Arcadis is using the API to drive standardization, experiencing a 60% increase in structured project data. Our customers and industries are realizing the benefits of these data APIs—first, it was the manufacturing industry, and now it is AECO. #AEC #data #API 

The introduction of the Autodesk AEC Data Model API is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it offers other teams more granular access to the data model, which is undoubtedly helpful. On the other hand, it undermines the role of architects as project leaders and managers. Traditionally, we would present this data alongside 2D outputs and collaborate with construction teams. However, this new approach extracts the information, likely leading to a more fragmented or disengaged workflow. It risks returning to the old ways of other teams waiting for architecture to 'throw it over the fence,' rather than fostering the collaborative spirit of BIM and the efficiencies it brings. Let's aim to use these advancements to enhance collaboration, not hinder it. (https://lnkd.in/gukBFtYm) --- https://lnkd.in/gukBFtYm

Interesting news as Autodesk acquires Datum360 and releases Autodesk’s AEC Data Model API The recent acquisition of Datum360 by Autodesk and the general availability of the AEC Data Model API address ongoing data management challenges within the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industry. Datum360’s technology aims to enhance Autodesk’s offerings by supporting non-model data and compliance reporting, potentially filling gaps in current data management solutions. This move reflects Autodesk’s efforts to provide a more connected and accessible data ecosystem for AECO stakeholders. The integration of Datum360's platform is designed to offer a centralized location for connecting, managing, and searching across diverse data sources, which could aid decision-making through improved data accessibility. The release of Autodesk’s AEC Data Model API introduces a new approach to data access within the AECO industry. By providing granular data access to Autodesk Docs users, the API seeks to promote greater flexibility and interoperability across project lifecycles. This API facilitates the extraction and centralization of data from Revit models, enabling firms like Arcadis to achieve higher levels of data standardization and quality. This shift from file-based exchanges to a granular data ecosystem is intended to provide real-time insights, which may lead to more efficient project management, reduced waste, and lower costs. The AEC Data Model API sets the foundation for a unified data language across the AECO lifecycle, with plans for future expansions to include additional data types and broader product integrations. #MostafaElashmawy #TheDigitalCommunity #AutodeskExpertElite

Last year, we launched the AEC customer advisory boards, creating a forum for rich dialogue and interchange with constituents across the industry. We sought our customers' guidance on what technology investments could have the biggest impact on their business. The result was a single word: Data This week, we announced two major steps forward to connect data across the AEC asset lifecycle: 1) General availability of the AEC data model API, offering direct access to granular data and files, enabling a broad range of customer use cases 2) Datum360 joining Autodesk, improving data visibility and access across enterprise data silos Check out the post from Sasha Crotty below for more information - exciting times! https://lnkd.in/gDusp9Sj

AEC Data model will be a game changer for AEC industry.

As construction projects grow more intricate, a robust Common Data Environment (CDE) is essential for effective collaboration and project success. Autodesk Construction Cloud and Procore are top platforms offering powerful CDE capabilities. Autodesk Construction Cloud integrates design, construction, and operations data, while Procore serves as a centralized hub for project information. Choosing the right CDE depends on factors like design software integration and budget. By utilizing Autodesk Construction Cloud or Procore, construction teams can boost collaboration, data management, and overall efficiency, ultimately leading to better project outcomes and profitability. #ConstructionTechnology #ProjectManagement
