Stowe adopts Autodesk Construction Cloud for enhanced efficiency

Stowe Australia, a leading privately-owned electrical and communications contractor, has undertaken its largest technology roll-out with the adoption of Autodesk Construction Cloud across the business. This cloud construction solution is designed to boost agility, enhance collaboration and drive data efficiencies company-wide.

Stowe Australia is leveraging Autodesk Construction Cloud to generate insights that extend beyond individual projects ­– its most significant technological innovation to date.

“Stowe has built an industry reputation for service excellence in its 100-year history,” said Matt Fern, digital engineering manager at Stowe Australia. “A lot of this has been built on the knowledge gained by our employees – many of whom have worked for the company for years.”

“While project data was being shared within the company, it was often done manually, relying on the memory and experience of employees.”

Fern explained that there was a business need to break down siloed knowledge and make it accessible across teams, which led Stowe Australia to explore Autodesk Construction Cloud as a solution.

“Companies of our size simply have to learn how to leverage their data better, or they’ll become redundant,” he said. “We want everyone in the company to be using this – we want everyone to be in the same sandpit.”

Sumit Oberoi, senior manager of APAC construction strategy and partnerships at Autodesk Construction Cloud, said, “We are thrilled to support Stowe with the adoption and implementation of the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform to create better project efficiencies, and to connect workflows, teams and data at each stage. This ultimately is helping them to reduce risk, maximise efficiencies and increase profits.”

Stowe Australia has used Autodesk technology since 2005 and began adopting Autodesk Construction Cloud in 2021. Its implementation partner, ARKANCE, helped to develop a proof of concept to demonstrate how the solution could meet the firm’s requirements. This proof of concept, which ran for about 12 months with a select group of users, provided valuable feedback and endorsements that facilitated the wider adoption of Autodesk Construction Cloud.

“In the past, Stowe had not consistently applied learnings from its project data to its wider business,” said Fern. “On each project, employees had used several point solutions on their individual areas, creating data silos.”

“Autodesk Construction Cloud is now helping us achieve the agility and collaboration of a cloud-based solution while centralising the ‘source of truth’.

“One of the biggest benefits of the platform has been the ability for our teams to leverage data as part of a common data environment. This [has] given us the ability to create efficiencies across our project operations.”
