CDE Sync integrates
Common Data Environments.
CDE Sync is used in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries. It is a cloud-based AI tool developed to integrate and synchronise data (files, models and metadata) across multiple Common Data Environment (CDE) platforms.
— CDE Sync Overview —
CDE Sync and the current integrations framework.
Serverless. Secure. Region-smart. No-code simplicity. Globally connected. Locally hosted. Stress-free synchronisation.
We enable data connectivity to drive a single-source-of-truth for your CDE. Users can configure source and destination locations, define mapping rules for data and metadata migration, and monitor syncs via an intuitive wizard-journey.
CDE Sync uses AI-driven workflows
to remove manual tasks, delivering
the right data to the right person
at the right time, so your team can
focus on higher-value project work.
— Manual vs Automated —
CDE Sync replaces manual handling of data on projects.
-
Manual file transfers between CDE platforms are time-consuming, error-prone, and resource-intensive. Each transfer requires downloading, reformatting metadata, and re-uploading files—often leading to version mismatches and delays. As projects scale, this method becomes unsustainable and expensive to repeat.
-
Automated file transfers using CDE Sync are fast, reliable, and secure. The platform connects Common Data Environments like ProjectWise and Autodesk Construction Cloud, automating file and metadata synchronization. This reduces manual workload, eliminates version errors, and ensures teams are always working with up-to-date information, saving time and increasing project efficiency.
— CDE Sync Architecture —
CDE Sync integrates your project’s Digital Ecosystem.
Seamless project integration: serverless, secure, region-smart, and no-code control across your entire project ecosystem.
CDE Sync is industry agnostic. It is used in industries such as transportation, mining, the built environment, renewable energy, and beyond. It’s particularly beneficial for managing projects where data synchronisation is critical for timely collaboration and the creation of a single-source-of-truth is essential for project success.
— CDE Sync Benefits —
CDE Sync benefits your project teams.
PlanGrid and FMI identifies factors costing the construction industry over $177 billion annually due to inefficiencies, rework, and poor communication, directly highlighting the financial impact of inadequate data management and poorly integrated systems.
For Designers:
Maintain Design Integrity
Ensures version-controlled data stays consistent across platforms, supporting quality design evolution from concept to delivery.
Enhance Coordination
Simplifies collaboration by bridging tools and teams, enabling seamless, structured data sharing across disciplines and vendors.

Make Confident Decisions
Enables instant access to synchronised project data—allowing managers to spot risks early and lead with actionable intelligence.
For Construction Teams:
Reduce On-Site Errors
Enables teams to work with fully validated, traceable project information—minimising miscommunication, RFIs, and costly rework.
Synchronise Site Activities
Automates data flows to align design, logistics, and on-site execution, driving project efficiency and tighter construction schedules.
For Owners:
Gain Lifecycle Transparency
Provides real-time oversight across project phases, from planning to operations, with validated data enabling better governance.
Improve ROI Through Data
Eliminates manual overheads and delays, unlocking value by enabling smarter resource use and better-informed investment decisions.
For Asset Operators:
Access Verified Information
Empowers operators with seamless access to the latest approved data across systems, eliminating delays in finding reliable operational information.
Boost Operational Performance
Synchronised data allows planning teams to manage maintenance, operations, and issue resolution with clarity and reduced downtime.
— CDE Sync Savings —
CDE Sync saves projects both time and cost.
-
~$2-3 Million expenditure per project per year on resourcing for manual transfers of data between CDE platforms.
-
~$1 Million expenditure per project per year on resourcing for manual transfers of data between CDE platforms.
-
~$100-200k expenditure per project per year on resourcing for manual transfers of data between CDE platforms.
Poorly integrated Common Data Environments (CDEs) in construction projects can lead to significant time delays and increased costs. A study highlighted that inefficiencies in data management could add 20% to 25% to project costs - Asite.
— CDE Sync Pricing —
CDE Sync delivers substantial cost savings with minimal investment.
CDE Sync scales with your portfolio, reducing costs as you grow. All plans include unlimited users and eliminates manual data handling, helping teams save millions. Connecting two CDE platforms is as low as $7,080 USD per year, making it smart, secure, and cost-effective to connect your CDE environments.

— Manual vs CDE Sync —
Comparison: Manual Transfer Methods vs CDE Sync
Manual data transfers for an average 250MB model typically take 6 minutes per file - including downloading from the source CDE, updating metadata and workflows, and uploading to the destination CDE. The estimates provided below are based on a labour rate of 150 USD per hour.
