Building teams can automate the setup of projects in Autodesk Construction Cloud using software from New York-based ProjectReady.

ProjectReady provides collaborative project information management software for architects, engineers, contractors and project owners. Its automated project site setup feature extends to Autodesk Construction Cloud, a portfolio of software and services that combines technology, a builders’ network and predictive insights for construction teams.

This development is said to mark a milestone in ProjectReady’s existing Autodesk integration as well as the continued evolution of its IDE integrated data environment (www.project-ready.com/home/about/integrated-data-environment), ensuring consistency and data alignment across different common data environments (CDEs) involved on a project.

“Different professionals on a project will continue to depend on different digital tools to do their portion of the job,” said ProjectReady CEO Joe Giegerich. “Even when different platforms are used, team members still need to have access to project-related information. ProjectReady facilitates the free flow of information between CDEs while ensuring consistency of essential information.”

James Cook, director of integrations and technology at Autodesk, added: “With increasingly compressed timelines on construction projects, it’s important for teams to automate manual processes whenever they can. By automating project setup with ProjectReady, construction teams can move straight to tracking key data and milestones in Autodesk Construction Cloud and focus on their primary objective – building.”

A user could set up a project in ProjectReady, instantly connect external CDEs, and simultaneously create projects in Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore and Microsoft 365 with authoritative data and information pulled from the organisation’s ERP, CRM or accounting system to ensure accuracy and consistency.

By automating setup of Autodesk Construction Cloud projects and connections to other platforms, all systems involved share the same project ID, consistent metadata and a unified process. This ensures alignment, delivers a scalable taxonomy and establishes a single source of truth across platforms.

ProjectReady (www.project-ready.com) offers long-standing value to Autodesk Construction Cloud (getconstructioncloud.autodesk.com/acc-awareness) users, including content synchronisation, the ability to search quickly for information across connected platforms, and email management that lets users register email and attachments directly to Autodesk Construction Cloud while making email actionable in the context of a project. ProjectReady’s WorkBridge allows Autodesk Construction Cloud and Procore users to work together on requests for information without having to leave their preferred platform.
