Case Study: Skanska saves time and money in preconstruction with Autodesk Construction Cloud

How Moving from 2D to 3D Modeling Saved Skanska Time & Money During Preconstruction

Skanska, a global construction and project development company, wanted to improve preconstruction estimating while overcoming resistance to moving from traditional 2D methods to 3D modeling. Using Autodesk Construction Cloud, including Assemble for quantity takeoff, Skanska worked to create better standards for design teams and make its estimation process more accurate and efficient.

Autodesk Construction Cloud helped Skanska implement its digital strategy with training, troubleshooting, and project support, enabling the company to scale 3D modeling across most preconstruction offices. In one example, a 3D takeoff revealed a curtain wall scope that was 28% larger than the 2D takeoff, uncovering missed quantities and preventing a costly underestimate. Overall, Autodesk Construction Cloud saved Skanska time and money by reducing model quantification effort and allowing teams to focus more on constructability, safety, and sustainability.
