Aurigo integrates Aurigo Primus Plan with Autodesk Construction Cloud to connect capital planning to downstream project execution

Key facts

Date of announcement: September 23, 2025.

Companies involved: Aurigo Software and Autodesk.

Lead

A new, fully integrated solution now links Aurigo’s capital planning product with Autodesk Construction Cloud, enabling facility owners and operators to connect long-range strategy and funding decisions with downstream project execution. The integration moves approved projects and budgets into execution workflows and makes it possible to synchronize field commitments and actual costs back to planning tools in near real time.

What the integration does

The integration connects Autodesk® Build Cost Management and Aurigo Primus Plan so data flows between planning and execution systems. Specific data elements that can be integrated between systems include Projects, Budgets, Commitments, Change Orders, and Expenses. The connection supports planned vs. actual performance updates between Autodesk Build Cost Management and Aurigo Primus Plan, giving program owners a direct way to compare forecasts against field results.

How it works in practice

When paired, owners can publish approved projects and budgets into downstream workflows and instantly synchronize commitments and actuals from the field to understand portfolio performance in real time. The workflow is designed so planning and finance teams can collect, prioritize, program, and track performance of projects from inception, including before design or build phases begin. Moving management of capital programs upstream is intended to identify risks earlier and to make it easier to calculate returns on investment.

Product and capability details

The product introduced by Aurigo is Aurigo Primus. Aurigo Primus is the industry’s first AI-powered capital planning system purpose-built for facility owners. Its described capabilities include the ability to define project charters, model funding scenarios, and forecast outcomes. The system includes predictive analytics and generative modeling to enable portfolio optimization, risk assessment, and cost control.

Scale and usage claims

The company states that Aurigo manages more than $450 billion in capital programs across 40,000 projects. Additional usage claims in the company’s materials note that solutions are trusted by over 300 customers and are used in transportation, water and utilities, healthcare, higher education, and government on projects across North America.

Context and market drivers

The announcement cites recent U.S. Census Bureau data indicating that construction is increasing across multiple sectors, including data centers, manufacturing, and healthcare. The release emphasizes that planning and finance teams need modern tools to handle the complexity of expanding capital programs. The integration is positioned as a response to that need, offering connected data between planning and execution to reduce duplicate entry and increase transparency across organizational boundaries.

Leadership and company background

Company leadership framed the partnership as a technical pairing between a cloud-native capital planning platform and a broad set of design and construction execution tools. The company presented the collaboration as complementary to existing Autodesk capabilities for design collaboration, bid management, and project delivery, and noted prior integration work between Aurigo Masterworks and field collaboration tools.

Corporate background details provided with the announcement note that Aurigo is a privately held U.S. corporation headquartered in Austin, Texas, with global offices in Canada and India. The company describes its mission as helping customers change the way major infrastructure is planned and delivered by applying proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to capital program decision-making.

Additional materials and prior activity

The announcement includes links to supporting multimedia and to a product information page. An earlier company announcement dated Aug. 12, 2025 introduced an “Essentials Plan” described as an AI-powered capital planning solution for local agencies.

Takeaway

The integration is intended to reduce the friction between long-range planning and project delivery by connecting approvals, budgets, and field transactions. For owners managing large portfolios, the combined flow of data aims to improve accountability, transparency, and the ability to detect and respond to cost and schedule variance earlier in the lifecycle.
