Case Study: Upgrade Estate avoids 9,000 clashes with Autodesk Construction Cloud

How Upgrade Estate Avoided 9,000 Clashes during Preconstruction with BIM 360

Upgrade Estate, a Belgium-based owner and general contractor focused on student housing and apartments, needed a better way to standardize document management and collaborate across internal teams and external partners. Their previous process relied on email, screen grabs, and unreliable VPN access, creating inefficiencies and risking loss of important project data. Autodesk Construction Cloud, using BIM 360, provided the common data environment they needed to bring project information and Revit models into one place.

With Autodesk Construction Cloud’s BIM 360, Upgrade Estate improved collaboration, streamlined meetings and workflows, and gave all stakeholders access to up-to-date project data from anywhere. On a pilot project in Brussels, the team identified around 9,000 clashes during preconstruction, helping them resolve issues earlier, reduce time spent on manual coordination, and improve quality and sustainability outcomes before construction even began.
