Digital Project Delivery: The Keystone to a Sustainable Built Environment
Sustainable Design is a pipe dream if you cannot accurately predict, model, and monitor your building’s content and energy usage. Without digital project delivery focused on the specific needs of the building end use—not the needs of national or international standards—we cannot even begin to accurately and predictably lower the energy used by and embodied within our built assets. By using products such as Autodesk Forma alongside traditional delivery tools such as Revit and Civil 3D software, the Buro Happold Information Management team are driving Sustainable Design without uttering the word. By breaking BIM down into its constituent parts, we’re able to work with our clients to create a project data standard that takes the guesswork out of designing, building, and operating a building—and feeds the future by ensuring that we have a stock of buildings that can tell us how good our decisions were and if they’re operating as we hoped they would.

From Data to Decisions: Driving Project Certainty in Megaprojects with Power BI and Autodesk Forma
Discover how Exyte, a leader in delivering high-tech facilities, manages multidisciplinary megaprojects. In these projects, thousands of details, conflicts, and decisions constantly compete for attention, making it difficult to focus on what really matters. Using a data-driven approach powered by Autodesk Forma and Power BI, we’ve improved project certainty, making it easier to manage complexity effectively. In this session, we’ll share how we shifted from reactive problem-solving to proactive, insight-driven project management. By seamlessly consolidating data from Revit, Navisworks, Autodesk Forma, Work Plans, and other external sources, we've developed powerful dashboards that do more than report. They actively guide decisions, prioritize tasks, and give real-time project insights. With this approach, we can focus on key conflicts, track model health, monitor issues across packages, and give senior management a clear and reliable view of project progress. This isn't just better reporting—it’s a smarter way to build.

Eliminating Construction Waste As a Pathway to Project Success
Material waste in construction commonly adds up to as much as 30% of procured material and 10% or more of project budget, offering a clear opportunity for optimization. Wasted materials also represent a sizable "forgotten" portion of a building's embodied carbon, infrequently measured or accounted for. This session will start from the premise that material utilization cannot be truly improved in isolation, exploring how the pursuit of more sustainable construction is fundamentally interlinked with other measurable outcomes like quality, schedule, cost, and safety—each worthy of optimization in its own right. Drawing on case studies and backed by Forma workflows, the presenters will show how the pursuit of more sustainable construction correlates with project success. They will argue that lean construction, which aims to root out waste in all its forms, offers a pathway to triple bottom-line success, combining positive outcomes for people, the planet, and profit.

Connecting the Dots with Point Clouds, the AEC Collection, BIM 360, and Forma
Point clouds are more than just dots in space. They represent existing walls, doors, pipes, ground surfaces and so much more. They represent millions and millions of individual pieces of information. And because of this, their file size can be enormous and often difficult to work with. But it doesn't have to be that way. This class will demonstrate ways that you can take advantage of the new scan-to-mesh and publish features in ReCap Pro to share, view, comment, and collaborate on your point clouds. We'll also look at ways you can utilize point clouds in an efficient and effective manner by extracting only the relevant information for your design.

Fabrication at the Design Phase: Is Using Fabrication Tools a Better Way to Model for Designers?
Why continue to struggle with outdated design tools when a more efficient approach is within reach? Embracing fabrication tools—like Fabrication Parts in Revit software—P&ID Modeler for Revit allows engineers to focus on engineering rather than spending excessive time on modeling. By starting with fabrication, designers can model faster and seamlessly transfer design intent Mechanical systems that actually work! This “backward” process significantly enhances efficiency, enabling engineers to dedicate more time to engineering rather than laborious modeling. The approach also accelerates the design-to-construction workflow and proactively resolves MEP coordination challenges—even before trade partners are onboarded. As its adoption grows, this strategy is proving to be a game-changer for speeding up the engineering design process and optimizing project delivery.

Field and Project Management with Forma
Every construction project team needs the right tools to support key workflows, including QA/QC, safety, RFIs, and cost and progress. Today, teams use a number of different tools and techniques to execute them. The risks of using various applications and processes for these are poor information access, lack of connectivity and collaboration between the office and the field, and tools that are built for either field workers on mobile devices or office workers on laptops. The vision of Forma is to enable connectivity across the project, and this session will provide an update on the future product road map for field and project management capabilities.

Connecting Design Authoring Software with Forma
Providing construction project teams with complete, accurate, and construction-ready design documentation is one of the best ways to ensure that design intent is met during construction. During the design process, there are many stakeholders that play a role in development of design documentation—from architects and CAD managers, to virtual design and construction teams, owners, contractors, and trades. But not everybody works in the same location or at the same time. Using the cloud to support collaboration during the design process can connect these stakeholders, and this class will discuss how to easily bring designs from AutoCAD software, Revit software, Civil 3D software, and AutoCAD Plant 3D software into Forma to support cloud-based collaboration.
