IMPORTANT: README
While we have strived to develop a thorough deck, capturing specific data across all geographical
locations and regions poses challenges. The current deck is well presented; however, we advise
replacing localized data references with content relevant to your specific region for optimal
customization.

One such example is with the two project delivery methods describe in this deck: Design-Bid-Build
(DBB) and Design-Build (DB). There are various other methods such as Public-Private-Partnership
(PPP or P3). If you feel updating the workflows to another method is valuable to your client, please
do so.

There are several slides that are animated. Prior to presenting the deck to your client, please
familiarize yourself with the slides and practice running through them. Remember to delete any
"Animated slide badge" and other magenta banners prior to presenting to your client.

We also recognize that each market (Named, Territory, and Partners) may have their own unique
requirements. This deck serves as a framework and teams within each market can modify to suit
their need.

 BIM for Road and Highway Design is …
An advanced, integrated approach that utilizes detailed 3D
models to enhance the planning, design, construction, and
maintenance of road infrastructure.

BIM for Road and Highway Design also includes an integrated

approach to bridge and tunnel design and to other structural
elements that support road networks.

This solution can support the following outcomes:

Manage design and Reduce errors Reduce overall

project complexity and rework design time

 Why does it matter?
 Competitive advantage: innovation and enhance proposals

 Expansion of services: global market reach and

comprehensive service offerings

 Client relationships: better client engagement and

customized solutions

 Efficiency and scalability: scalable and optimized solutions

 Strategic growth: diversification and long-term partnerships

 Market leadership: thought leadership, innovation, and R&D

 Data-driven insights: data utilization and predictive

 The sustainability perspective
Today’s engineers need to incorporate materials and practices that
minimize environmental impact, enhance resiliency, reduce construction
waste, and promote long-term viability.
Sustainable design practices:
 Smart infrastructure design
o Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
o Emergency management and response systems
 Emphasize early collaboration among engineers, architects, and
environmental specialists
 Design to include on-site reclamation and reuse services such as Reclaimed
Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and Reclaimed Concrete Material (RCM)
 Design space for the use of portable plants (such as batch plant facilities)
 Minimize construction waste through segregation and sorting (area planning)
 Water/Wastewater Management (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan/SW3P
guidance standards and specifications)

 Project delivery models

There are various project delivery methods used in design and construction projects, including:
o Design-Bid-Build (DBB)
o Design-Build (DB)
o Construction Management at Risk (CMAR)
o Construction Management Agency (CMA)
o Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
o Public-Private Partnership (PPP or P3)
o Job Order Contracting (JOC)
o Turnkey
o Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT)
Autodesk’s solution provides supporting capabilities for these various delivery methods; however, this
solution deck focuses on the two most common: Design-Bid-Build (DBB) and Design-Build (DB).

 Competitive bidding: The bidding process encourages competition

among contractors, potentially leading to cost savings for the owner.

 Detailed design documentation: By the time bidding occurs, the

design is fully developed, which can lead to more accurate cost
estimates and clearer scopes of work.
