Join, the collaborative project delivery platform for the built environment, announces its latest integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud®, a portfolio of software and services that combines advanced technology, a builders network and predictive insights for construction teams. Now, project teams can link accepted Items from Join with Potential Change Orders (PCOs) in Autodesk® Build, streamlining workflow coordination and enhancing data accuracy across project phases.

The integration eliminates the need for redundant data entry between Join and Autodesk Construction Cloud. Project managers often encounter difficulties in managing accepted Items and associated costs across project management platforms, leading to inefficiencies and errors. With this advancement, users can now link accepted Items in Join directly to Autodesk Build PCOs, ensuring that decisions made in Join are accurately reflected and linked to Autodesk Build’s comprehensive construction management workflows.

“For general contractors using Autodesk Construction Cloud, the integration empowers them to utilize Join for critical decision-making during preconstruction and early construction phases, seamlessly transitioning decisions into Autodesk Construction Cloud for efficient execution and management during operations,” said Jim Forester, Co-founder and Head of Business Development at Join. “This unified approach enhances stakeholder engagement and project transparency, contributing to overall project success and client satisfaction.”

Not only does this integration aid in the transition from preconstruction to operations, but it also allows project stakeholders, including owners, to continue leveraging Join’s real-time insights and visual interfaces throughout the life of the project. “Once an owner starts looking at Join, they get familiar with it, they trust it, and they want to see that over and over again,” says Tony McDaniel, Senior Preconstruction Executive at Messer Construction.

“Construction teams rely on Autodesk Construction Cloud for easy access to critical financial and other project data throughout the project lifecycle,” said James Cook, director of industry and technology partnerships at Autodesk. “The new integration ensures that critical decisions made in Join accurately update the Cost Management data in Autodesk Construction Cloud, helping project stakeholders better manage the financial health of their projects..”

This expands on existing integrations between Join and Autodesk® Docs to build collaboration, transparency, and trust among stakeholders throughout the construction project lifecycle. General contractors use Join and Autodesk Construction Cloud together to gain real-time data and insights into decisions, costs, and other critical elements of construction management.
