Arcadis deepens Autodesk collaboration to accelerate AI and data-led delivery for clients
The partnership links Arcadis expertise with Autodesk AI and connected data, and one project has cut quality reviews from five days to about half a day.
On Sept 28, 2026, Arcadis announced an expanded collaboration with Autodesk to accelerate artificial intelligence and digital workflows across the built and natural environment, integrating industry expertise with the Autodesk platform.
Arcadis CEO Heather Polinsky stated client value stems from human judgment, prompting the firm to embed knowledge directly into digital workflows where teams design and make decisions.
By connecting Model Context Protocol capabilities with Autodesk Assistant, Arcadis applies its knowledge within AI-powered workflows. Autodesk President Anagnost said, "AI creates the most value when grounded in deep industry expertise, trusted data, and real-world context."
Automation initiatives in North America and Europe already deliver measurable efficiencies, reducing quality review times from five days to approximately half a day and improving project consistency.
The partnership supports initiatives like See Through Walls, a joint project using predictive modeling and sensor data to infer conditions inside existing buildings, enabling material reuse and decarbonization.
