Autodesk, Inc. announced Evans General Contractors, an international design-build contracting firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is adopting Autodesk Construction Cloud and incorporating the powerful construction management platform into its standard operating procedures (SOP). Teams across Evans will be using Autodesk Construction Cloud to onboard new employees quickly and easily, maximize coordination across project stakeholders and minimize errors on projects. With offices across the Southeastern U.S. and in Germany, Evans manages more than 50 projects annually and brings in over $1.2 billion in annual revenues.

To meet growing demand across its expanding markets, which include manufacturing, life sciences, healthcare, corporate environments, food and beverage, and distribution and logistics, Evans has significantly increased the size of its team in recent years. With this growth, the organization needed to establish an SOP with robust technologies to enhance project management, team collaboration and quality of service, all while rapidly onboarding new team members. Evans adopted Autodesk Build, a unified construction management and field collaboration solution in Autodesk Construction Cloud, after successfully using PlanGrid across its projects.

Autodesk Build's desktop and mobile applications maintain the ease of deployment, adoption and use found in the original PlanGrid solution, so Evans can quickly ramp up new employees and projects as part of its SOP while minimizing the technology learning curve. Autodesk Build's radical simplicity enables Evans' teams to immediately collaborate and maintain a high level of coordination to minimize mistakes and rework on their complex projects. Evans' migration to Autodesk Build also gives the team access to Autodesk Docs, which encompasses the common data environment for Autodesk Construction Cloud and powers robust analytics capabilities, so the firm's teams can keep project information in one place and make data-driven decisions that further minimize project risks.

The common data environment can also be seamlessly linked with hundreds of other technology solutions in Autodesk Construction Cloud'sintegration partner ecosystem, enabling Evans to further connect its people and data across workflows from preconstruction through closeout.
