by Brianna Crandall — October 31, 2016 — Construction project analytics provider Dodge Data & Analytics and software provider Autodesk have initiated a collaboration to advance workflow integration and interoperability for design and construction industry professionals through the availability of BIM data.
Through Dodge Data & Analytics’ Sweets App for Autodesk Revit software, comprehensive product content is delivered through the application of Revit to help streamline the product selection process for architects, engineers and construction professionals involved in selection, purchase and installation of building products.
The Sweets App for Autodesk AutoCAD software will also become available for download for AutoCAD subscribers.
The Dodge-Autodesk collaboration will also define a roadmap to work on integrating both companies’ workflow and data tools more broadly throughout the design and construction lifecycle, helping foster industry-wide adoption of building information modeling (BIM). Increased integration of BIM technology is already reshaping processes and project management across the industry.
