Stowe Australia: Transforming Project Delivery with ACC

Stowe-for-website

Customer Snapshot:

  • Company: Stowe Australia

  • Location: Australia

  • Industry:  Architecture Engineering and Construction 

Stowe Australia is a national electrical and communications contractor operating across 14 locations. As the business grew, so did the volume of project data and the need for greater national alignment. To support consistency, visibility, and long-term scalability, Stowe partnered with ARKANCE to lead its digital transformation and implement Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) as a common data environment across the business.

The Challenge:  Data Silos and Disconnected Workflows  

As Stowe continued to grow, project information was spread across different systems, teams, and locations.

This created challenges such as:

  • Limited visibility across projects
  • Inconsistent communication between office and site teams
  • Manual processes that slowed decision-making
  • Rework caused by outdated or misaligned information

To improve efficiency and maintain quality at scale, Stowe needed a more connected and transparent way of working.

The Stakes:  Scaling Consistency Across a National Business 

Operating across multiple regions requires standardized processes and reliable access to accurate information.

For Stowe, improving collaboration was not only about efficiency - it was about:

  • Reducing risk on complex projects
  • Ensuring teams worked from the same information
  • Improving accountability and visibility
  • Building a digital foundation to support continued growth

Without a unified system, sustaining national consistency would remain difficult.

Choosing a Partner:  Structured Discovery and Implementation  

Stowe began the journey with what they describe as a “discovery” phase - reviewing workflows, identifying gaps, and defining how a connected platform could support their operations.

The goal was not simply to implement new software, but to build a structured, data-driven construction platform that aligned with how their teams actually work.

The Approach:  Building a Connected Construction Platform 

Through Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), Stowe established a centralized environment where teams could access, manage, and share project information in real time.

This enabled:

  • A single source of truth for documentation
  • Better communication between field and office
  • Improved version control and document management
  • Greater visibility into project performance

By consolidating systems and processes, Stowe reduced fragmentation and improved coordination across sites.

The Outcomes:  Connected Data, Reduced Rework 

 By building a national, data-driven construction platform, Stowe Australia can:
