Autodesk Expands BuildingConnected into EMEA and APAC to Give Global Construction Teams Access to Best-in-Class Bid Management Solution
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., October 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) has announced the global expansion of BuildingConnected, a construction management platform designed to streamline and centralize the bidding process. This solution integrates with the Autodesk Construction Cloud builders network, a growing community of construction professionals. Owners and general contractors now have access to a centralized hub where they can find trade partners, identify the right subcontractors, and manage bids—also known as tenders—more efficiently.
With this new international rollout, BuildingConnected is now available in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, marking a significant step toward global accessibility for construction teams. The platform aims to replace outdated methods like using Rolodexes or spreadsheets, ensuring that the right teams are selected for every project, whether it's a commercial building, data center, hospital, or infrastructure development.
Jim Lynch, Vice President and General Manager of Autodesk Construction Solutions, emphasized the impact of the platform: “There are over one million construction professionals on the BuildingConnected network in North America alone, with thousands of general contractors and owners actively bidding on projects worth $56 billion each month. BuildingConnected helps reduce risk, improve productivity, and bring transparency to the entire construction process.â€
For estimating teams, BuildingConnected offers automated workflows that save time and enhance collaboration during the bidding phase. Estimators can easily find, qualify, and invite subcontractors to bid, then compare all proposals in one place with real-time updates on costs and status. The platform also allows users to export bid summaries for transparent communication with clients.
Key benefits for preconstruction teams include:
- Quickly solicit bids with customizable templates and compare them side-by-side.
- Track project budgets in real time.
- Collaborate seamlessly with internal teams and track communications.
- Export bid packages for clear client interaction.
- Gain insights from historical data to improve future projects.
In the UK and Ireland, the traditional tendering process has often been slow and inefficient, relying on fragmented tools like email, paper, and in-house systems. This leads to errors, lost data, and costly rework. Mike Pettinella, Director of EMEA Sales at Autodesk Construction Solutions, noted: “Reducing risk during the preconstruction phase is crucial for maintaining margins. BuildingConnected streamlines communication and ensures consistency across all stakeholders.â€
In Australia and New Zealand, standardizing communication during tendering is becoming a top priority. According to upcoming research from Autodesk, both general and specialty contractors value centralized communication as a key factor in choosing subcontractors. Mark Swann, Construction Manager at Serneke Australia, shared: “BuildingConnected saves us time by eliminating the need to chase emails and update addendums manually. We now have a single source of truth for efficient and seamless tender management.â€
Autodesk is hosting webinars for construction professionals in the UK and Ireland on October 15, 2020, and in Australia and New Zealand on November 4, 2020, to discuss procurement challenges and share insights from recent research. Attendees will learn how to improve their preconstruction strategies using BuildingConnected.
BuildingConnected is now available in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland. For more information, visit the Autodesk Construction Cloud blog.
