Smarter Building Podcast Ep. 5 - Evolution, Challenges and the Tech to Support Change
In this episode of our Smarter Building podcast, we caught up with Jim Lynch, Senior Vice President and General Manager at Autodesk Construction Solutions (ACS), on all things digital tech, the current challenges, data and sustainability.
Autodesk Construction Solutions is a division of Autodesk. ACS specifically focuses on providing innovative digital tools and technologies to support construction professionals throughout the project lifecycle. Their software offerings encompass a wide range of applications, such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), project management, collaboration, and field execution. These advanced digital solutions help streamline processes, enhance productivity, improve project outcomes, and drive overall industry transformation.
Join us as we delve into the dynamic world of digital technology and its impact on the construction industry. From discussing the current challenges faced by the sector, including labour shortages and the current economic conditions, to exploring the critical role of data and sustainability in shaping the future of smarter buildings; this episode offers valuable insights and perspectives from an industry leader. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how digital tech is transforming construction practices and paving the way for a more sustainable future.
"Our customers realise that with the use of digital technology, as they deploy and adopt more and more digital technology, they're amassing incredible amounts of information. And so a big challenge for the industry today is taking that information and turning that information into useful data, where they can extract key insights, key learnings to drive better outcomes for future projects."

How CQi Automates CAD Deployments and Reduces Risk
In modern Architecture, engineering, construction and design environments, the pressure is on IT teams to deliver fast, consistent, and secure software setups. Whether you're supporting ten users or ten thousand, manual installation methods simply can’t keep up with the demands of large-scale CAD environments. That’s where CQi (Configuration Intelligence)steps in. At Symetri, we developed CQi to help organisations automate CAD deployment, reduce risk, and maintain standardisation—all without increasing the burden on IT departments. In this blog, we’ll explore how CQi works and why it’s becoming a go-to solution for smarter CAD management.
AI-powered Digitalisation of Building Information: Transforming Workflows with Bimify
In the construction and architecture industry, access to accurate and editable building data is critical for efficient design, planning, and execution. Yet, many firms still face the challenge of working with static drawings or locked file formats that limit progress.
Security Gaps You Didn't Know You Had
As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, some of the biggest risks to your organisation might not be obvious. In this month’s IT Bulletin, we shine a light on three critical security concerns that are often underestimated or overlooked entirely. These issues can silently compromise systems, leak data, or be exploited without detection.
