Behind the Build: Interview with Emerson Smith, Assistant Project Manager at Donohoe Construction Company - Digital Builder
Abstract
As construction evolves, how do you see your role changing? Just from partnering with Autodesk and implementing the software, I think it's going to make a huge impact in reducing busy work for construction professionals. Why are you excited about implementing Autodesk Build over the next few months? We first adopted Autodesk Build as a pilot. Autodesk's pilot team did a great job guiding us through the pilot job. Someone from Autodesk's Cost product team came to each of our weekly calls and answered key questions. What made you want to partner with Autodesk on your projects? Before Autodesk, we were using an antiquated project management software from the 1980s. We tried out Procore, Autodesk, and then a tool called Project Teams. I'm trying to force myself to say, "All right, I'm going to use Autodesk, even if it's not going to be as comfortable at first.
