Arcadis deepens Autodesk collaboration to accelerate AI and data-led delivery for clients
Arcadis,
the world's leading company delivering data-driven sustainable design,
engineering and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets, announced
an expanded collaboration with Autodesk to accelerate the use of artificial
intelligence, connected data and digital workflows across the built and natural
environment, whilst keeping human expertise and judgment at the centre of
delivery for clients. By aligning Arcadis' industry expertise and growth
ambitions with Autodesk's platform innovation, the collaboration is designed to
create shared value and support the long-term success of both companies.
The
collaboration combines Arcadis' embedded domain expertise in design,
engineering, sustainability and project delivery with Autodesk's Design and
Make platform and Autodesk AI, including Autodesk Assistant, which understands
geometry, engineering intent and project history. It is an accelerator of
Arcadis' AI and Data & Knowledge strategy, helping the company bring its
own knowledge, standards and client experience into the digital workflows where
project decisions are made. One example is See Through Walls, a joint
project using AI, sensor data and predictive modelling to infer the condition
of what is hidden inside existing buildings, supporting material reuse,
circularity and decarbonization.
For
clients, this work is designed to make digital and AI-enabled delivery more
practical, consistent and valuable across complex projects. Arcadis applies its
asset knowledge, judgment, client standards and sector expertise needed to
apply digital and AI tools to real-world challenges. That work runs on the
Autodesk platform, where AI outputs can be checked against real project data and
the conditions a design must meet. Together, this helps clients make
better informed decisions, improve quality and resilience, reduce delivery
risk, and increase productivity.
Technology
alone does not create value. Adoption does. Arcadis' people remain central to
how AI and digital capabilities are translated into better, reviewed and
verified outcomes for clients, enabling teams to apply their expertise in new
ways while improving speed, accuracy and consistency in delivery. This
strategic partnership between industry leaders, a stronger platform approach
utilizing Arcadis domain expertise, practical AI advancements and joint
research activities bring differentiated value for Arcadis clients.
Heather Polinsky, CEO, Arcadis, said: "Our clients choose
Arcadis because of the knowledge, judgment and experience of our people. That
expertise remains at the heart of how we create value. Working with Autodesk,
we are bringing that knowledge directly into the workflows where our teams
design and decide. By combining our expertise with AI, data and digital
capabilities, we can help our teams work smarter, more efficiently and with
greater accuracy, giving them more time to focus on the complex challenges our
clients need us to solve."
Andrew Anagnost, President and CEO, Autodesk,
said: "Arcadis
and its strong leadership team are clearly organizing for the future, not
simply adopting new technology. They understand that AI creates the most value
when grounded in deep industry expertise, trusted data, and real-world context.
That's how AI becomes project intelligence, helping people make better
decisions and deliver better outcomes for clients."
