The collaboration leverages Autodesk AI and the newly integrated Autodesk Assistant to process engineering intent and project geometry. One practical application, dubbed See Through Walls, utilizes sensor data and predictive modeling to assess the condition of building interiors, which supports material circularity and decarbonization efforts. Arcadis is also connecting its own Model Context Protocol capabilities to the platform, ensuring that the firm retains ownership of the standards and data applied during the AI-driven design process.

Arcadis and Autodesk Forge AI Partnership for Engineering Workflows
By embedding proprietary domain knowledge into Autodesk’s AI platform, Arcadis aims to transform how complex infrastructure projects are delivered. The partnership focuses on integrating internal engineering standards directly into digital workflows, allowing the firm to automate routine tasks while keeping human oversight at the center of project decision-making.
Adoption remains a primary hurdle for industrial AI, and Arcadis is positioning its 34,000-strong workforce to bridge this gap. Early results from initiatives in North America and Europe show significant efficiency gains, including a reduction in quality review times from five days to approximately half a day. According to CEO Heather Polinsky, the integration is designed to grant staff more time to address complex challenges by automating repetitive tasks. Autodesk CEO Andrew Anagnost noted that the project is intended to move beyond simple tech adoption, aiming to ground AI in trusted industry data to transform it into actionable project intelligence.
