Understanding the Bridge - Autodesk Construction Cloud

Bridge in Autodesk Construction Cloud allows teams to share data across accounts in order to improve cross team collaboration, reduce rework, and better control ownership of project information.

Imagine that you have 3 or 4 consultant each one has his own CDE, they will work with General contractor also have his own CDE, connection bet them should be comprehensive connected and intelligent.?

That’s what Bridge offer by Autodesk Construction Cloud platform. By connecting Projects by each other to Automate Data exchange between Designers, General Contractor and subcontractors in an intelligent way.???

Why to Engage??

General Contractor: Because GC’s need to easily share information across external teams and need historical records of all documentation.?

Subcontractor: Because Subs need to easily share their information with the GC while maintaining ownership of their project data.?

Designer: Because Designers are protective of their work and want to make sure building teams are working off of the right versions and upholding design intent.?

Owners: Because Owners want clear visibility into how they project is performing and want access to construction documentation that may be relevant to operations.?

Key Features:

Bridge is organized into four tabs that you can use to view information about sheets and files shared to and from your project:?

• Incoming - shows sheets and files received by this project from other projects.?
• Outgoing - shows sheets and files shared to other projects from this project.?
• Automations - shows any automatic updates set up for shared sheets in the project.?
• Bridged Projects - shows projects that have been bridged from another project?
