Automated to Advanced Clash Detection: A Step Towards Delivering Fully Coordinated Construction Models

With the advancement of technology and the enhancements in the preconstruction processes, we can now take a huge step towards delivering a fully coordinated construction model. This will ensure the quality of construction and reduce the wastage of construction material, a key objective of lean construction. In this session, you will learn about automated clash detection using the Autodesk Construction Solution products and also understand how these products work with advanced clashes in construction projects.

Deepak Maini, National Technical Manager, Cadgroup Australia

Future Proofing the Construction Industry through Drones

  • UAV technology is rapidly gaining ground in the construction sector, but the need to integrate new tools can mean that uptake is often still slower than desired. 
  • UAVs offer a cost-effective solution to help streamline operational efficiencies throughout the entirety of a construction project, by increasing profit margins and improving safety.
  • By changing how data is made available and shared on construction projects, it is further driving innovation across the industry — and offering a range of possibilities for the future of mapping in the construction space.
