In its latest investment to fill out offerings for project data management, software giant Autodesk has acquired construction technology firm Pype, maker of the Pype AI-analysis and project planning platform. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Pype is going to help us on the preconstruction side as well as on the site side,” says Jim Lynch, Autodesk vice president of construction solutions and general manager, noting that the acquired platform will automate RFI and submittal processes "that really helps project managers in the field.” Pype’s system is able to analyze project documents to automatically generate preconstruction submittals and can also produce much of the paperwork required during closeouts.
