Run project information on a platform built for modern delivery
12d Synergy gives engineering and construction teams a secure, reliable way to manage project information and collaboration in one place. Keep current and historical records accessible, reduce version confusion, and support cross-team delivery without forcing everyone into the same tools.
Connect field and office teams around one common data environment and keep everyone on the latest approved information.
Stay flexible with a data-agnostic platform that supports mixed file types and tools without vendor lock-in.
Reduce rework and risk with version history, audit trails, and fast retrieval across current and historical project data.
Support ISO-aligned workflows, naming and traceability where required.
How 12d Synergy Works
Manage files, email, tasks, and workflows in one platform so your team always works from the right data, in the right tool, at the right time.
Set up and standardise
Create consistent project structures using templates, attributes, and workflows so every job starts the same way, and teams can find information fast from day one.
Result: Less setup time, fewer “where does this go?” questions.
Manage complex project data
Work with documents, CAD, and geospatial datasets in a controlled structure that preserves multi-file dependencies, tracks changes, and keeps versions clean as projects evolve.
Result: fewer broken references, less rework, more confidence in “latest.”
Collaborate and automate
Assign tasks, model your processes, and automate repetitive steps so stakeholders can work together efficiently whether they’re in the office or remote.
Result: smoother handoffs, faster turnaround, fewer manual admin.
Connect your ecosystem
Integrate with the tools you already use and connect project information across platforms (e.g., Autodesk Construction Cloud, ProjectWise) so teams stay aligned.
Result: connected workflows without changing the system.
A single project record from delivery to handover
Keep all your project documents in one structured, searchable CDE so your team stays aligned from the first shared file through to final handover—without duplicates, version confusion or missing history.
Single source of truth for all project data, minimising duplicates and rework.
Unified revision history and audit trail with ability to roll back to any previous version.
Fast, data-driven search to find what’s needed without chasing links.
Managed folder structure that protects multi-file datasets, not just individual files.
Reduce network traffic and improve performance for large survey and geospatial workloads.
Describe information your way with customisable attributes and standards.
