San Francisco design and construction software (NASDAQ: ADSK) $6.1B FY2025 revenue (+12%); AutoCAD/Revit industry standard, 98%+ subscription revenue, Construction Cloud competing with Bentley and Procore.
Autodesk, Inc. is a San Francisco, California-based design, engineering, and construction software company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: ADSK) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — developing cloud-based and desktop software for architects, engineers, construction professionals, product designers, media and entertainment creators through industry-specific platforms including AutoCAD (2D/3D computer-aided design), Revit (building information modeling for architects and structural engineers), Civil 3D (infrastructure design for civil engineers), Inventor (3D mechanical CAD for product design), Maya/3ds Max (3D animation and visual effects), and Fusion 360 (cloud-based product design and manufacturing) through approximately 14,000 employees. In fiscal year 2025 (ending January 2025), Autodesk reported revenues of $6.1 billion (+12% year-over-year) with subscription model revenue representing 98%+ of total revenue — completing the company's decade-long transition from perpetual software license sales to annual and multi-year subscription contracts that generate predictable recurring revenue and higher lifetime customer value than one-time license purchases. CEO Andrew Anagnost leads Autodesk's strategy of expanding from design software into a construction platform: Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC — combining BIM 360, BuildingConnected, PlanGrid, and Assemble Systems into a unified construction project management and collaboration platform) targets the $10+ trillion global construction industry's digital transformation — connecting architects, engineers, contractors, and owners on a single platform from design (Revit/AutoCAD) through construction (ACC document management, RFI workflow, safety management) to facility management (Autodesk Tandem digital twin). Autodesk AI (AI-assisted design generation, Intelligent Model Healing, AutoCAD AI Drafting) integrates generative AI into the design workflow to automate repetitive drafting tasks and provide design optimization suggestions within existing AutoCAD and Revit workflows.
Mountain View construction layout robot (FieldPrinter 2) at 10K-15K sq ft/day, 10x manual speed with 1/16" accuracy; $69.5M total printing 100M+ sq ft for DPR/Turner/Skanska competing with Trimble for BIM-to-field layout automation.
Dusty Robotics is a Mountain View, California-based construction robotics company — backed with $69.5 million in total funding from Root Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Canaan Partners, GRIDS Capital, and Cantos — providing general contractors and construction teams with the FieldPrint Platform: a BIM-to-field robotic layout solution that uses the FieldPrinter robot to print precise floor markings from digital building models, replacing the manual chalk-line and tape-measure layout process that construction crews use to mark where walls, electrical, plumbing, and structural elements will be built. The FieldPrinter 2 (launched January 2024) lays out 10,000-15,000 square feet per day with one operator at 1/16 inch accuracy — approximately 10x faster than manual layout methods — and has printed over 100 million square feet across thousands of projects for customers including DPR, Turner, and Skanska. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024 in the robotics category. Founded in 2018.
