Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection (AECC)
Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection (AECC)
One essential set of BIM tools for building design, civil infrastructure, and construction
The Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection is a rich set of software and innovative technologies to help you design, engineer, and construct higher-quality, more predictable building and civil infrastructure projects.
Using a connected BIM workflow, architects can more seamlessly conceive, model, optimize, and coordinate their designs with professionals across desciplines and throughout the lifecycle of a project.
Overview
The AEC Collection provides designers, engineers, and contractors a set of BIM and CAD tools supported by a cloud-based common data environment that facilitates project delivery from early-stage design through to construction.
What is BIM and why use it?
What is BIM?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the holistic process of creating and managing information for a built asset. Based on an intelligent model and enabled by a cloud platform, BIM integrates structured, multi-disciplinary data to produce a digital representation of an asset across its lifecycle, from planning and design to construction and operations.
What is it used for?
BIM is used for creating and managing data during the design, construction, and operations process. BIM integrates multi-disciplinary data to create detailed digital representations that are managed in an open cloud platform for real-time collaboration.Using BIM gives you greater visibility, better decision-making, more sustainable options, and cost-savings on AEC projects.
What are the benefits of BIM?
The benefits of BIM are through connecting teams, workflows, and data across the entire project lifecycle—from design and engineering to construction and operations—to realize better ways of working and better outcomes.
Why is BIM important?
According to the UN, by 2050 the world's population will be 9.7 billion. The global AEC industry must look to smarter, more efficient ways to design and build not just as a means to keep up with global demand but to help create spaces that are smarter and more resilient too.
BIM not only allows design and construction teams to work more efficiently, but it allows them to capture the data they create during the process to benefit operations and maintenance activities. This is why BIM mandates are increasing across the globe.
