Case Study: Polytek achieves secure, real-time collaboration and connected site-to-office workflows with Autodesk BIM 360

How Polytek Is Improving Collaboration and Connectivity with Autodesk Build

Polytek, an engineering services firm headquartered in Tienan, Belgium, needed a more secure, connected way to share project data and manage permissions across internal teams and external collaborators. Before adopting Autodesk BIM 360 within the Autodesk Construction Cloud, Polytek relied on SharePoint and manual file transfers (e.g., WeTransfer), which lacked granular access control and made it difficult to maintain a single source of truth and meet security requirements for sensitive pharmaceutical and food-sector projects.

Polytek trialed and then rolled out Autodesk Build while continuing to use BIM 360, creating a common data environment that links office and site workflows and enables file-level permissions. With Autodesk BIM 360 in place, collaboration improved instantly, the team replicated workflows across all current projects, on-site photos and large files are saved directly into project areas instead of being sent manually, sensitive data is stored to meet compliance, and account-based access lets stakeholders be added as needed—streamlining processes and boosting project quality.
