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 TRANSFERS OF DATA
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.
CDE SYNC BI-DIRECTIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
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 synchronisation. This reduces workload, eliminates errors, and ensures teams are working with up-to-date information.
— 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 all of your project’s 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.
BIM Managers
Maintain federated model integrity across disparate platforms. CDE Sync synchronises IFC models, native files, and associated metadata between Autodesk Construction Cloud, Bentley ProjectWise, and other CDEs without breaking version lineage or losing critical model properties. You control the sync rules and mapping logic, the platform handles the execution and maintains traceability across your model federation.
Document Controllers
Eliminate manual file transfers between platforms. CDE Sync automates the movement of documents, drawings, and models across multiple CDEs while maintaining version control, metadata accuracy, and audit trails. You'll spend less time on repetitive uploads and downloads, and more time on quality assurance, compliance validation, and supporting project delivery teams with reliable information workflows.
Design Managers
Oversee multi-disciplinary teams using different platforms without forcing vendor standardisation. CDE Sync lets architecture, structural, MEP, and civil teams use their preferred software tools while you maintain a single source of truth. Design reviews, approvals, and transmittals remain traceable across all platforms, giving you visibility and control without imposing rigid technology constraints on your consultants.
Asset Managers
Transition project information into asset operations without data loss or reformatting. CDE Sync can bridge construction-phase CDEs (ACC, ProjectWise) with asset management platforms, preserving as-built model data, O&M documentation, and asset metadata through handover. Your operational systems receive structured, validated information ready for lifecycle management without manual rework or data migration projects.
Project Directors
Maintain visibility across programmes using multiple CDEs without forcing platform consolidation. CDE Sync provides real-time synchronisation status, audit logs, and performance dashboards that show data flow across your entire project ecosystem. You'll see which platforms are in sync, where bottlenecks exist, and have traceability for client reporting and governance requirements.
Digital Engineers
Build interoperable digital ecosystems that align with ISO 19650 and client standards. CDE Sync integrates with your existing infrastructure tools and platforms, connecting to APIs, and handles the metadata transformation and version control logic specific to AECO projects. You define the data strategy, CDE Sync executes it at scale across your technology stack.
Information Managers
Implement and enforce information management protocols across federated environments. CDE Sync applies your naming conventions, metadata schemas, and ISO 19650 workflows consistently across platforms - whether that's ACC, ProjectWise, Aconex, or custom systems. The platform validates metadata on transfer, flags non-conformances, and generates status audits that demonstrate information governance.
IT Security Teams
Deploy CDE integration without compromising security posture. CDE Sync operates with zero file persistence. Data streams between platforms without intermediate storage. Role-based access control, encrypted credential management, and comprehensive audit logging support your security frameworks. CDE Sync can be used to supply data transfer audits to your SOC for enterprise compliance.
Procurement Teams
Reduce vendor lock-in while maintaining contract compliance. CDE Sync eliminates the need to mandate single-platform solutions across your supply chain, giving you flexibility to select best-value CDEs for different project phases or disciplines. You'll have documented audit trails of all data transfers for contractual assessments and the ability to see the return on investment for CDE Sync.
