In traditional workflows, estimators manually export model data, clean spreadsheets, recalculate quantities, and compile static reports. By the time this manual cycle finishes, the underlying design has already changed. Integrating live cost planning with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) eliminates this latency by allowing teams to perform commercial evaluations directly within a Common Data Environment (CDE).
