ARKANCE delivers a connected approach to automation through three AEC automation tools that every firm in the industry should know about - the AEC Collection, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and the Autodesk Model Management Bundle. Below, we will explore each one and why they should be added to your AEC arsenal.
Why Automation Is Reshaping the AEC Industry
The AEC industry is moving toward smarter, data-led delivery. Growing project complexity, tighter margins, and stricter Building Information Modeling (BIM) compliance make traditional workflows unsustainable.
Automation is changing that. By connecting information and standardizing repetitive tasks, it enables teams to focus on analysis, coordination, and decision-making rather than administration. The result is greater predictability, faster delivery, and improved project profitability.
At ARKANCE, we help firms integrate automation into their existing workflows through Autodesk technology. This creates connected teams, reduces manual effort, and supports more efficient, data-driven project environments.
Top 3 AEC Tools You Need To Know About
1. Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Collection
The AEC Collection is an integrated suite of CAD and BIM tools that forms the digital backbone for building design, civil infrastructure, and construction teams. It’s the starting point for firms looking to automate project delivery and improve efficiency across the entire build lifecycle.
By combining trusted applications like Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, and Navisworks, the AEC Collection connects disciplines and data, enabling smarter decisions and more predictable outcomes. Its built-in automation capabilities help firms:
Eliminate repetitive work with parametric design and intelligent documentation tools
Transition from 2D to full BIM workflows at their own pace
Align conceptual design with coordinated, build-ready models
Maintain accurate, up-to-date project data across all teams
With the AEC Collection in place, firms gain more than software - they gain a strategic foundation for scaling digital transformation, reducing risk, and delivering high-impact results.
The AEC Collection empowers our customers to transform their digital foundation by integrating every stage of the project lifecycle, from inception and design to analysis and documentation, within one connected environment. This integration enables faster delivery, smarter collaboration, and greater efficiency at every milestone, driving a more resilient and productive built environment
Once the AEC Collection is deployed, the next step is to unlock even greater value by integrating project data and automating management workflows with ARKANCE’s tailored solutions.
2. Autodesk Construction Cloud
Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) connects design, build, and field teams in one unified digital environment - centralizing communication, data, and workflows to keep every phase of a project aligned, from initial planning through to operations.
With ARKANCE’s tailored services and construction expertise, ACC becomes more than just a software platform - it becomes a strategic enabler of collaboration, visibility, and smarter decision-making.
ACC enhances coordination through key automation features:
Version control and automated documentation, reducing rework and miscommunication.
Real-time dashboards that surface insights across projects, teams, and regions.
Predictive analytics that flag potential risks before they escalate.
These capabilities reduce manual workload, improve project confidence, and ensure teams work from the most current, connected data.
Autodesk Construction Cloud transforms how teams collaborate. It brings every stakeholder into a connected workspace where project data, models, and communication stay perfectly in sync - driving fewer delays, stronger outcomes on site and added visibility across projects.
By delivering a single source of truth, ACC enables smarter execution across the construction lifecycle - and with ARKANCE as your transformation partner, those gains become measurable and scalable.
3. Autodesk Model Management Bundle
The Autodesk Model Management Bundle, also known as the VDC Bundle, is purpose-built for firms tackling today’s most pressing challenges: escalating project complexity, rising costs, labor shortages, and evolving BIM and sustainability standards.
By unifying best-in-class tools for model coordination, quantification, document control, and digital twin readiness, this bundle empowers project teams to collaborate more efficiently and deliver with greater certainty.
Key capabilities include:
Centralized Model Review
Detect and resolve clashes early with Navisworks Manage, improving coordination and reducing rework.Real-Time Design Collaboration
Share, track, and manage design packages across teams and disciplines via Autodesk Docs and Collaborate Pro.Automated Document Control
Eliminate version confusion and streamline slip-sheeting with built-in automation through Autodesk Docs.Advanced Quantification
Improve cost estimation and takeoff accuracy using Assemble, enabling better-informed decisions earlier in the project lifecycle.Reality Capture and Digital Twin Integration
Use Recap Pro and Autodesk Tandem to turn site data into actionable insights and support handover-ready digital twins.
These integrated workflows reduce errors, compress timelines, and help teams transition toward long-term digital maturity.
The Model Management Bundle is the cornerstone of virtual design and construction, empowering teams to transform complex models into coordinated intelligence. By automating conflict detection, tracking design evolution, and integrating real-time take-offs, it brings unmatched clarity, control, and collaboration to every stage of project development.
