Aurigo Software, North America’s leading capital planning software provider, has announced a new integration between its capital planning platform and Autodesk Construction Cloud. The collaboration enables facility owners and operators to connect long-range funding and strategy decisions directly with downstream project execution.
The integration allows project teams to synchronise Projects, Budgets, Commitments, Change Orders and Expenses between Autodesk® Build Cost Management and Aurigo Primus Plan, giving stakeholders accurate planned-versus-actual performance updates.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, sectors such as data centres, manufacturing and healthcare are witnessing sharp increases in construction activity. With more complex capital programmes underway, planning and finance teams require modern tools to manage scale and risk.
By extending Autodesk’s widely used project management capabilities upstream into planning, owner-operators can now identify risks earlier, forecast returns more accurately and maintain tighter control over large-scale capital programmes.
Closing the loop from planning to operations
“With the integration, we are creating a single, connected loop for capital assets, starting in planning and moving to design, construction, and maintenance,” said Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and founder of Aurigo Software. “By connecting Aurigo’s capital planning expertise to the breadth of execution offered by Autodesk Construction Cloud, every investment decision carries through to delivery, allowing owner-operators to make the right decisions faster.”
Aurigo already manages more than $450 billion across 40,000 projects. Its recently launched Aurigo Primus is the industry’s first AI-powered capital planning platform for facility owners. Primus allows users to define project charters, model funding scenarios and forecast outcomes, using predictive analytics and generative modelling to optimise portfolios, assess risks and control costs.
Through the Autodesk integration, approved projects and budgets can be automatically pushed into downstream workflows, while actual costs and commitments from the field feed back in real time for a full picture of portfolio performance.
“Autodesk and Aurigo share a commitment to helping owners deliver smarter, more sustainable assets,” said Sidharth Haksar, vice president, construction strategy & industry partnerships at Autodesk. “By integrating Aurigo’s capital planning platform with Autodesk Construction Cloud, we are connecting the why, what, and how of every program, helping our customers deliver with greater accountability and transparency at every stage of the lifecycle.”
