In late 2020, I was speaking with Mark Patterson. He is the Chief Information Officer (CIO), of S. M. Wilson. This construction management company is based in St. Louis, Missouri. Autodesk was working with S. M. Wilson to PlanGrid Unlimited, but also began explaining the new construction management system we hadn't yet released-Autodesk Build.

We discussed the gaps in their project management process. It wasn't our goal to sell them Autodesk Builder but to work with them to identify and develop key features that were missing from their workflows.

  1. M. Wilson is an efficient machine that generates over $200 million in revenue each year. They refer to their business model as "The S. M. Wilson Way". A significant impact on their bottom line could be achieved through process improvement at this scale.

Mark was reluctant to commit S. M. Wilson as an early-adopter to an unproven solution in early conversations. This was especially true since the product had not yet been released to the market.

If it does not offer significant benefits for streamlining workflows, no one wants to substitute one process for the other.

If it has serious benefits for streamlining workflows, no one wants to substitute one process with another. We came up with a strategy to bring them aboard.

Autodesk would help S. M. Wilson's growth through opening up lines between our teams and theirs as we developed Autodesk Build. We allowed them to submit feature requests, interact with our product team, field-test pre-launch software with me as their dedicated Customer Support team member , helping themnavigate it and iron out any kinks in the workflow.

These are all things that we do with customers today. It was a way to show our early commitment Mark and S. M. Wilson’s long-term success.

This is just one of many stories I have seen repeated over the years with customers. Let me tell you why Autodesk Build was built and why project managers love it.

These are the breakthroughs that made Project Managers Autodesk Build fans

It can take several months to build, test, and rebuild software to create a reliable product that you can trust. You must listen carefully to your customers' feedback and then unpack, understand, and integrate it.

After months of feedback loops, field testing Autodesk Builder with S. M. Wilson, and other customers, our meetings changed.

Feedback from Project Managers was slowing down. We were curious if there was cause for concern.

Instead, there was a new environment of excitement at Autodesk Build. Many times, it was the Project Engineers of our customers that excited Project Managers. They explained all the useful things that Autodesk Build could help them do. They could track their progress, manage their schedules, and monitor and track issues in one common environment. Many of these tasks can also be done from a mobile device.

The VDC/BIM teams then jumped in and gave their feedback. They were thrilled to be able to access their models through Autodesk Build. They were able to quickly compare models and update, as well as dive into data. You can manage design issues from the field in real time and vice versa. Collaboration between design teams, Project Managers and other stakeholders was easier.

Autodesk Build now has several key players from the projects of our customers.

Another major step forward was the release of our Scheduling tool. Project Managers and their special contractors can now search the master calendar by activities to see charts and comments made by others.

The owners , and general contractor reported that they had never experienced this level of transparency. Because schedules are now more efficiently managed everyone is on the same page.

As benefits began to stack up , Project managers realized that Autodesk Build would speed up decision-making in field, make it more intelligent, safer, and reduce the chance of unexpected costs and schedule slippage. Autodesk Build would enable them to get home faster.
