MCL Construction Leverages Autodesk Construction Cloud to Improve Project and Operational Performance Company-wide

Customer Challenge

MCL Construction was an early adopter of the Autodesk BIM 360 Field platform, part of the Autodesk Construction Cloud. MCL wanted to leverage all of the program’s features while getting more of its employees and subcontractors to use it. That’s when they turned to U.S. CAD to help with training and expanding their use of Autodesk products.

Project Goals

MCL’s relationship with U.S. CAD began in 2016 with training on the BIM 360 product. The construction manager wanted to highlight the power of the product and expand its use. What MCL Construction wanted out of the U.S. CAD-led training was highlighted data analytics and the overview module to focus on company-level reporting, so executives could see high-risk trends, activities and what was going on with projects, giving them a clearer understanding of the business as a whole.

Solution

U.S. CAD trained 80 MCL employees on the new generation of BIM 360. U.S. CAD developed a bespoke program to best meet MCL’s specific needs. A consultant sat down with company executives and project managers to understand how MCL wanted their teams to use BIM 360. They came up with three initial training modules around documents, project management and BIM 360 field functionality. U.S. CAD led three days of training, going module-by-module with MCL’s project engineers and project managers.

Business Outcome

Prior to implementing BIM 360 across departments, MCL had a lot of variance in access to project documentation. BIM 360 improved MCL’s access to data and ability to review projects, as well as improved internal and external collaboration. The U.S. CAD-led training highlighted data analytics and the overview module to focus on company-level reporting, so executives could see high-risk trends, activities and project overviews, giving them a clearer understanding of the business as a whole.

Conclusion

Tapping into U.S. CAD’s expertise, MCL has been able to harness the power of data insights and translate this information to projects across contractors and subcontractors. Having the data isn’t enough; executives need specific training to help them understand how to manage the business with improved insights. Partnering with U.S. CAD enabled MCL’s leadership team to quickly gain value from their BIM 360 software investment.
