4 ways to optimise your construction projects in the cloud

Managing a growing number of Autodesk BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) projects can quickly become overwhelming - especially when it comes to project setup, user management, and data backups. With the right tools, you can eliminate manual inefficiencies, boost productivity, and focus on more strategic initiatives.

If your team works with BIM 360 or ACC, here are four powerful ways Symetri’s Cloud Solutions can streamline your operations.

1. Bulk Project Setup: Save Time at Scale

Creating or editing projects one by one simply doesn’t scale when managing dozens—or even hundreds—of jobs. With bulk setup capabilities you to set up multiple projects at once using templates, and make bulk edits across environments, eliminating repetitive manual tasks.

2. Simplified Member Management

Manually adding users to projects, assigning roles, and tracking access across systems is tedious and error-prone. Streamlining this process enables you to assign multiple users to multiple projects in a single workflow, ensuring consistent access levels, faster onboarding, and fewer mistakes.

3. Automate Revit Model Publishing

In BIM 360 and ACC, Revit models must be published (not just saved) to make the latest data visible to project teams. Doing this manually places extra pressure on already busy Revit users. With scheduled publishing, your teams always have access to up-to-date information - automatically.

4. Reliable, Scheduled Backups

Routine backups are essential for disaster recovery, but they’re often overlooked. By scheduling automated backups so they happen consistently - without manual oversight - gives you peace of mind that your data is protected.

Migrate Multiple Projects Between BIM 360 and ACC: What you need to know

09 June 2025

As Autodesk gradually shifts its focus from Autodesk BIM 360 to the more unified and scalable Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), many AEC organisations are navigating the complex process of migrating active and archived projects. While ACC offers enhanced collaboration, improved workflows, and long-term scalability, the path to get there isn’t always straightforward. In this post, we will explore some key complexities organisations face when migrating data from BIM 360 and ACC and offer insights on how to streamline the process.
