Case Study: Anova Technical Services achieves accelerated project delivery and improved field productivity with Autodesk BIM 360

Anova drives efficiencies in its quality and safety management workflow with Autodesk BIM 360 Field

Anova Technical Services, a Indianapolis‑based firm specializing in construction quality assurance, safety and program management, faced slow, paper‑based field workflows that relied on clipboards, cameras and a Microsoft Access database for report writing. To bring BIM collaboration to the point of construction and make field staff more productive, Anova selected Autodesk BIM 360 Field (from vendor Autodesk BIM 360) to replace manual processes and migrate field data onto a mobile platform.

Anova deployed Autodesk BIM 360 Field on iPads to deliver checklists, issue tracking, photo markups, a document library and real‑time team visibility; the vendor’s solution let field staff log issues and update inspections on site, cutting time spent documenting and writing reports. As a result, Autodesk BIM 360 enabled measurable improvements—Anova shortened overall project schedules by using customized QA checklists with contractor incentives, passed time‑and‑cost savings on to clients, improved subcontractor accountability, and now uses Autodesk BIM 360 Field across all of its QA and safety programs.
