Case Study: Arcadis achieves 50% faster report production and streamlined inspections with Autodesk BIM 360 (Autodesk Build)

How Arcadis Optimised the Inspection Process with Autodesk Build

Arcadis, the global design and engineering consultancy, faced slow, error-prone inspection workflows in Australia where photos and notes taken on site were matched back in the office, leading to misplaced issues and inconsistent risk ratings. To modernise inspections for projects like Western Sydney Airport and the Melbourne Metro Tunnel, Arcadis adopted Autodesk BIM 360, using Autodesk Build from the Autodesk Construction Cloud to connect field teams, project managers and clients in real time.

Using Autodesk BIM 360, Arcadis implemented in-field photo-to-3D-model linking, cloud uploads, custom templates and standardised risk ratings, plus filtered dashboards and client-facing links. The change cut report production time by 50% (reports shortened from a week to about two days), saved roughly 80 hours in quality inspections and delivered faster, more accurate communication and transparency across stakeholders.
