Engineering the Digitalized Jobsite

Last week, Autodesk announced the official closing of its acquisition of BuildingConnected, an online bid management solution designed to serve general contractors and subcontractors. The tech solution facilitates a more streamlined bidding process and gives users access to a network of industry contacts. The closing follows two other Autodesk acquisitions in 2018: PlanGrid and Assemble Systems.

According to a press release issued last week, Autodesk plans to intregrate workflows between BuildingConnected, Autodesk BIM 360, Revit and AutoCAD, and PlanGrid and Assemble Systems, to provide customers with one comprehensive solution for improving workflows throughout the construction process. CBO caught up with Jim Lynch, vice president and general manager, Autodesk Construction Solutions, to talk about the strategy behind the company’s recent acquisitions and why the industry may or may not be ready for a fully connected, digitalized jobsite. See what he had to say below.
