The civil services includes services such as stormwater, sewer, water, roads and earthworks design as well structural designs for various features such as buildings, warehouses and infrastructure in the form of stormwater culverts and bridges etc. The product also allows to complete drawings for these projects based on the designs etc.

Pros

  • Easy to complete drawings
  • Design of civil and structural services is much easier to complete
  • The product functionality is quite simple and the fact that it is all in one, where in everything can be complete using this product without having to switch amongst different software to complete designs and drawings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Autodesk AEC Collection to design our BIM models, create bill of materials, for clash detection, cloud storage and collaboration, and dynamo scripting. It helps us accurately plan our construction projects and predict problems before they arise. We are also able to share the models with subcontractors to allow us to coordinate scheduling and avoid installation conflicts.

Pros

  • Clash Detection
  • Bill of material creation
  • Phase planning and material requirements

Cons

  • Dynamo scripting can be challenging if you are not proficient in python
  • Maintaining correct versions of models
  • Easier database editing via excel

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are a commercial contractor or subcontractor, Autodesk AEC Collection, along with other Autodesk software is a must. There is no other way to design estimate and plan large construction. For residential construction, It may not be as necessary but it could still be useful if your primary construction projects are new builds rather than renovations.
