Start Projects Faster: IPX's New Integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud

Collaboration takes on one of the most persistent challenges in the AEC industry

At Integrated Projects (IPX), we've always been driven by a simple yet profound mission: to digitize the built environment and make accurate building data accessible to all project stakeholders. Today, I'm excited to share a significant milestone in that journey—our new integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud®.

This collaboration isn't just a technical upgrade; it's a step toward resolving one of the most persistent challenges in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. With 90% of buildings lacking up-to-date, workable documentation, project teams often start on the back foot, grappling with inaccuracies that lead to costly rework and delays. Our integration aims to change that narrative.

Accelerating Project Kick-Offs with Accurate Data

We've digitized over 5,000 locations to date, but we recognize that's just scratching the surface. The traditional process of coordinating existing conditions is often manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors. BIM Managers and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) teams are tasked with coordinating complex projects under tight timelines, and any inefficiency can cascade into significant project overruns.

By integrating IPX directly with Autodesk® Build, Autodesk® Docs, and BIM 360®, we're streamlining workflows to empower teams to start working with accurate files immediately. This means projects can kick off in days instead of months, giving teams the confidence to pursue great outcomes supported by precise existing conditions.

Leveraging IPX Services for Better Outcomes

Our services, such as SCANIT—which enables rapid deployment of 3D laser scanning professionals—and BIMIT—which converts point clouds into BIM and CAD models—are now more powerful than ever with this integration. These tools provide comprehensive solutions that bring clarity to the pre-construction phase, aligning technical and non-technical stakeholders through our intuitive, browser-based platform.

Minimizing Rework and Overrun Costs

Studies by Autodesk and FMI highlight that inaccurate data contributes to 5–12% of project overrun costs due to rework. We believe that by providing teams with precise and up-to-date information from the outset, we can significantly mitigate these risks. Our integration ensures that architects, engineers, and contractors are always working from the most accurate information, reducing the likelihood of costly mistakes down the line.

Enhanced Tools for Complex Projects

Beyond simplifying file transfers, the integration offers powerful tools for managing large portfolios and complex projects. BIM Managers and VDC teams now have access to advanced search and filtering of spatial, area, and element data within Autodesk Construction Cloud. This enhanced capability allows for greater precision and efficiency in overseeing projects, ensuring high standards are maintained across the board.

A Significant Step Forward in Digital Transformation

As the AEC industry continues to embrace digital transformation, we see this integration as a significant stride toward a more efficient and accurate future. By streamlining processes and enhancing data accuracy, teams can manage projects with greater confidence and precision.

We're committed to continually innovating and supporting the needs of the AECO industry. This integration is not just about technology—it's about empowering teams to make informed decisions faster, reducing inefficiencies, and ultimately delivering better project outcomes.
