Arcadis has improved site inspection accuracy across its Australian projects and cut reporting time by over 50 per cent by implementing Autodesk Build, part of Autodesk Construction Cloud.

The firm recently contributed to key infrastructure projects, including the Bulk Earthworks Contracts for the Western Sydney (Nancy-Bird Walton) International Airport and the Melbourne Metro Tunnel. These large-scale projects underscored the need for a standardised inspection approach, streamlined workflows and reduced time spent on repetitive tasks.

Andrew Thompson, digital engineering lead for structures and façades at Arcadis, described the impact of Autodesk Build: “In recent years, the scale and volume of our projects across Australia revealed opportunities for improving the way we work and, when it comes to site inspections, we’ve revolutionised how we manage these. Instead of the slow, error-prone process of manual uploads, we now use Autodesk Build to link photos and notes directly to a 3D model by the inspector, at the same time they are taken, right there onsite.”

“That information is accessible in real-time to all stakeholders across devices, with custom attributes and templates,” he added. “Along with standardised risk ratings that help us maintain consistent issue types and parameters, we know everyone is always working from a single source of truth.”

Sumit Oberoi, senior manager for APAC construction strategy and partnerships at Autodesk Construction Cloud, highlighted the value of the partnership.

“Our partnership with Arcadis is an excellent example of how we help our clients improve the quality of project outcomes, better manage costs and mitigate risks,” said Oberoi. “Autodesk Build gives Arcadis the confidence they need to carry out their critical work on complex projects.”

The flexibility of Autodesk Build’s data collection and reporting functions has further streamlined Arcadis’ processes. The Custom Fields feature allows for easy integration with a client’s pre-existing reporting structure, while the filtering capability enables Arcadis to quickly highlight high-risk issues to clients.

“Clients can now access project data in Autodesk Build in a timely way, so we don’t have to produce the same volume of reports we’ve always done,” said Thompson. “We can deliver a Power BI dashboard, with all the links included, so our clients have the most important information at their fingertips.”

Arcadis’ clients have noticed the difference as well; feedback suggests they appreciate the clarity of the new templates and the reduced volume of reports. These efficiencies have benefited Arcadis staff, with over 50 per cent of the time previously spent on reports now redirected to other tasks.

“Reporting is an important part of what we do, but that doesn’t mean we were doing it as efficiently as possible,” said Thompson. “The real-time collaboration we’ve achieved with Autodesk Build has freed up time across all our projects, because instead of a report taking a week to complete, we can now do it in just two days.”
