Case Study: IGA Istanbul New Airport achieves major time and cost savings with Autodesk BIM 360

How the New Istanbul Grand Airport Used Construction Software to Maximize Savings and Efficiency

IGA Istanbul New Airport, the consortium formed to build and operate the new Istanbul Airport with a 25‑year operations and sustainability plan, faced the challenge of delivering a massive, time‑sensitive program while transforming how dozens of stakeholders collaborate. To meet tight schedules and quality demands for the October 2018 opening, the team adopted Autodesk BIM 360 to drive a connected BIM and digital collaboration strategy across design, engineering and construction — overcoming the biggest hurdle of cultural change and stakeholder buy‑in.

Autodesk BIM 360 provided a single platform to integrate data from disparate modeling environments, enable parallel workflows, and detect issues before construction, with drones and real‑time BIM data supporting handover into operations. The result was significant time savings, delivery on time and within budget, and a quick return on investment, with Autodesk BIM 360 positioned to deliver ongoing cost and efficiency benefits across the airport’s 25‑year lifecycle.
