Austin, Texas, September 24, 2025
News Summary
Aurigo has launched a fully integrated connection between Aurigo Primus Plan and Autodesk Construction Cloud to link long-range capital planning with downstream project execution. The integration syncs projects, budgets, commitments, change orders, and expenses so approved plans and budgets can be published into execution workflows while field commitments and actuals flow back into planning in near real time. The combined capability enables planned vs. actual performance tracking, scenario modeling, and improved portfolio visibility so owners can prioritize, monitor, and respond to cost and schedule variances earlier in the lifecycle.
Software link connects long-range capital planning to project delivery
On September 23, 2025, Aurigo Software announced a new, fully integrated solution that connects its capital planning product with Autodesk Construction Cloud to enable facility owners and operators to link long-range strategy and funding decisions with downstream project execution. The integration is built to move information from planning into construction workflows and synchronize field performance back into portfolio plans.
What was announced
The integration pairs Aurigo Primus Plan with Autodesk Construction Cloud. In practical terms, the connection allows selected project and financial data to flow between systems so planning teams and delivery teams see the same numbers and status updates. The announced flow covers Projects, Budgets, Commitments, Change Orders, and Expenses, and it enables planned vs. actual performance updates between Autodesk Build Cost Management and Aurigo Primus Plan.
How the integration works
When an owner approves projects and budgets in the planning system, those items can be published into downstream workflows in Autodesk Construction Cloud. Conversely, commitments and actuals recorded in the field can be synchronized back to Aurigo Primus Plan so program managers can view portfolio performance in near real time. The release names the two systems at the center of the workflow as Autodesk® Build Cost Management and Aurigo Primus Plan.
Why owners and finance teams might use it
The release frames the move as a response to rising construction activity across multiple sectors, citing recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicating growth in areas including data centers, manufacturing, and healthcare. In that environment, planning and finance teams need modern tools to address the complexity of capital programs. For owners using Autodesk, the integration is intended to provide the ability to collect, prioritize, program, and track performance of projects from inception before design or build. Moving management of capital programs upstream is positioned to improve early risk identification and make return-on-investment calculations easier.
Products and capabilities
Aurigo introduced Aurigo Primus, described in the announcement as the industry’s first AI-powered capital planning system purpose-built for facility owners. Aurigo Primus is said to help define project charters, model funding scenarios, and forecast outcomes. The company says the product includes predictive analytics and generative modeling for portfolio optimization, risk assessment, and cost control.
Claims about scale and use
The announcement states that Aurigo manages more than $450 billion in capital programs across 40,000 projects. An “About” statement included in the material says Aurigo builds software that helps build the world and provides modern, cloud-based solutions for capital infrastructure and private owners to help plan, build, and maintain assets. The same section adds that Aurigo’s solutions are trusted by over 300 customers and are used in transportation, water and utilities, healthcare, higher education, and government on over 40,000 projects across North America. Corporate details note that Aurigo is a privately held U.S. corporation headquartered in Austin, Texas, with global offices in Canada and India.
Vendor perspective and next steps
Aurigo’s leadership framed the work as creating a connected loop from planning to design, construction, and maintenance and said pairing Aurigo’s capital planning functions with Autodesk’s execution tools should help decisions carry through to delivery. Autodesk’s construction strategy leadership positioned the integration as connecting the why, what, and how of programs to deliver greater accountability and transparency across the lifecycle.
