Connected Construction: The Next Evolution of BIM

27 November 2025

The conversation around Building Information Modelling (BIM) has shifted. Where once it focused on design efficiency, today it’s about data connectivity, collaboration, and control across the full project lifecycle. 

As projects grow in scale and complexity, firms need platforms that unify teams, models, and field data in real time  -  bridging the gap between design intent and site execution. 

That’s where Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) comes in. 

From BIM to Connected Construction 

BIM remains the foundation of digital construction, but ACC extends its value by connecting every model, workflow, and stakeholder in a single cloud environment. 

Through tools like Autodesk Docs, BIM Collaborate, Build, and Takeoff, teams can manage models, schedules, and RFIs from one secure ecosystem  -  strengthening accountability, traceability, and performance. 

At ARKANCE, we help customers implement ACC to scale BIM maturity, standardize collaboration, and ensure data consistency across regions and disciplines. 

Case in Focus: STOWE Australia 

For Stowe Australia, a major electrical contractor managing large-scale infrastructure projects across multiple sites, data silos and manual workflows were limiting collaboration, accuracy and efficiency.  

By deploying Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) with partner ARKANCE, Stowe moved from disparate systems and repeated data entry to a unified digital platform — creating a centralized Common Data Environment (CDE).  

Having all project data in one environment has transformed the way we deliver. We’ve reduced rework, increased transparency, and can make faster, evidence-based decisions

Key Outcomes 

  • Data entry became a one-time process rather than multiple re-entries across systems, driving both speed and accuracy.  

  • Real-time updates and centralized access helped minimize delays and overlap across Stowe’s 14 branches and multi-site operations. 

  • The shift improved collaboration between business units, increased decision-making speed and reduced errors -  translating into stronger operational predictability and cost control.
