— ACC Launches CDE Sync™ —
Utopia Digital Launches Autodesk Construction Cloud Integration.

Sydney, Australia, 26 February 2026
Utopia Digital’s Flagship product - CDE Sync™, connects Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) into other popular industry CDE platforms with automated AI-powered synchronisation.
Utopia Digital Group, a specialist enterprise software and services provider focused on Common Data Environment (CDE) integrations for the AECO industry, announces an integration for its cloud-based AI-powered tool, CDE Sync™, with Autodesk Construction Cloud®. As an Autodesk® AECO Technology Partner, Utopia Digital is making its AI-powered platform available to Autodesk users in the Autodesk App Store.
The CDE Sync™ platform's advanced no-code AI-powered data orchestration is merged with Autodesk Build or Autodesk Docs, enabling automated synchronisation of project files from any CDE while maintaining a single source of truth across multiple vendor platforms.
Infrastructure teams can automate bi-directional synchronisation between Autodesk Construction Cloud and other leading CDE platforms directly through CDE Sync™. Its metadata mapping engine preserves ISO 19650 compliance and version control integrity, while eliminating the manual effort associated with client submissions and supply chain coordination - removing repetitive file transfers, renaming, and metadata reformatting that consume valuable project time.
"Infrastructure projects now routinely span multiple vendor CDE platforms and this complexity can create real problems," said Aaron Traylen, Co-Founder at Utopia Digital. "Research found that construction professionals spend over 14 hours per week on non-optimal activities like hunting for project data and managing conflicts between systems - costing the US construction industry USD $177.5 billion annually in labour costs.” ¹
CDE Sync™ addresses this by automating the integration of diverse CDE technologies. For Autodesk users, this means synchronisation happens within the workflows they already use, so teams can concentrate on delivering projects instead of reconciling data across systems."
"Construction teams need key documents in real-time to make critical decisions," said James Cook, director, industry & technology partnerships at Autodesk. "CDE Sync™ integration capabilities help customers aggregate previously scattered information into a central source of truth within Autodesk Construction Cloud, so they can focus on building reliably."
Turning Data Fragmentation into Flow
The architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industry generates vast amounts of project data across multiple platforms - but siloed data creates productivity losses, miscommunication, and delays. CDE Sync™ integrations address this by bringing automated synchronisation capabilities directly to project data that is being managed in Autodesk Construction Cloud. CDE Sync™ addresses this challenge through:
Automated Bi-Directional Synchronisation: Eliminates manual file transfers, renaming, and metadata reformatting between Autodesk Construction Cloud and platforms such as Bentley ProjectWise, 12d Synergy, InEight, Microsoft SharePoint, and other CDE platforms.
Metadata Preservation & ISO 19650 Compliance: Maintains compliance and transforms CDE metadata schemas automatically across platforms with different structures and standards.
Version Control Integrity: Ensures file versioning fidelity and traceability across all connected CDE systems, preserving audit trails and compliance requirements.
What Makes CDE Sync Different?
Unlike general-purpose integration tools, CDE Sync™ proprietary no-code, wizard driven AI-powered architecture is purpose-built for infrastructure and manufacturing sectors:
Domain-Specific Intelligence: Multi-modal structuring of design and build documentation, metadata schemas, versioning logic, and workflow patterns across industry CDE platforms.
Standards Compliance: Automated metadata validation and transformation ensuring compliance with international information management standards.
AI-Powered Mapping: Intelligent metadata schema mapping that learns from project patterns and suggests optimal synchronisation configurations.
This approach ensures every synchronisation maintains data integrity, preserves version control, and delivers results that meet the rigorous exchange and coordination requirements of major infrastructure delivery.
