Autonomation in AEC: Leading digital change

We’ve lived the same AEC project pressures you face. That’s why we focus on cutting through complexity, connecting systems, streamlining workflows and giving you back time, clarity and confidence. 

About Autonomation
Our Mission

To cut through complexity and create clarity for those who build the world.

OUR APPROACH

Building honest, supportive partnerships

Our values guide the way we show up every day. We care about building real relationships, founded on trust, collaboration and clarity. What matters most to us is being a partner you can rely on, someone in your corner, invested to help you succeed.

Authenticity

  • Real experience: We’ve faced the same AEC project pressures your team deals with every day.
  • Practical Solutions: Everything we deliver is built to work in the real world, not just on paper.
  • Human first: Technology should support people, not the other way around.

Honesty

  • Straightforward advice: If an existing platform works, we’ll say so. If it doesn’t, we’ll explain why.
  • Clear expectations: We’re upfront about what’s possible, what it costs and how long it takes.
  • No jargon: We’ll keep communication plain and accessible, no mater your technical level.

Transparency

  • Open process: We bring you into the journey at every step, sharing how decisions are made and why
  • Shared visibility: From costs to progress updates, nothing is hidden or left vague
  • Accountability: We stand by our commitments and if things change, you’ll know straight away

Our Story

2018

The beginnings

Inspired by the Japanese concept of automation with a human touch, autonomation was created to bring balance between innovation and empathy in the built environment. Our logo carries the Japanese symbol 人 (hito), meaning “person,” representing our belief that technology should enhance the human experience. Its clean simplicity celebrates the people behind every project and the power of human creativity supported by clever technology.

2018

Forging our future

Joined the Autodesk Development Network and became one of the first certified developers for Autodesk Forge, now Autodesk Platform Services. Began delivering BIM, software and digital advisory services that helped AEC clients connect data and work more efficiently.

2020

Building trust

Became a partner of the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), reflecting our commitment to safe, secure and reliable digital systems.

2021

Pioneering intelligent automation

Long before AI became a global buzzword, Autonomation was applying machine learning to make design communication smarter. Partnering with major engineering firms, we developed intelligent tagging systems that automatically placed and validated drawing information, improving accuracy and clarity across large, complex projects. This early exploration into AI-driven automation laid the foundation for the next generation of digital design tools.

2022

Growing capability

Expanded our team to meet increasing demand for integrated digital services and delivered BIM and coordination outcomes across several Queensland Health hospital projects, improving collaboration and design efficiency.

2024

Accelerating innovation

Recognised as an Autodesk Platform Services Partner and partnered with Workato as the first AEC-focused integration partner in the region. Developed our proprietary Hub Transfer tool, allowing seamless migration of projects from BIM 360 to Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).

Our expertise

Leaders in digital transformation.

Our expertise comes from lived experience. Years spent in design offices, on site and inside project delivery teams. We’ve seen the frustrations first hand, from constant rework to data locked away in silos and systems that fail to connect. That’s why we’ve built a team that blends real AEC know-how with digital problem solving.

Whether it’s BIM services, advisory or software development, our focus is always the same: creating solutions that genuinely work for the people who use them.
