Mumbai : Mayfair Housing has announced a three-year strategic partnership with Autodesk, the global design & make platform company, to deploy Autodesk Forma, marking a significant step in its long-term digital transformation journey. The digital initiative will help the company build a more connected, intelligent, and technology-enabled project planning and execution ecosystem across its development and redevelopment portfolio.
Under the three-year engagement, Mayfair Housing will deploy Autodesk Forma, an AI-enabled, cloud-based platform that supports architects, planners and developers during the earliest stages of project planning and design. By combining real-world data, environmental simulations and collaborative workflows, Autodesk Forma ensures faster, more informed and more sustainable decision-making before projects move into detailed design and construction.
The deployment of Autodesk Forma will strengthen Mayfair Housing’s Building Information Modelling (BIM) workflow by enabling better planning, collaboration and data-driven decision-making from the earliest stages of project development. As an AI-powered, cloud-based platform, Autodesk Forma will support the creation and management of project information throughout the design and development lifecycle while integrating seamlessly with downstream BIM processes. MicroGenesis will serve as the implementation and technology partner, supporting platform deployment, process mapping, training and change management to ensure seamless adoption across the organisation.
Autodesk Forma will enable project teams to evaluate multiple development scenarios, generate site planning and massing concepts, and assess critical environmental parameters such as sunlight, daylight, wind, noise and embodied carbon during the earliest phases of development. The use of simulations will allow the company to make better-informed design decisions while improving efficiency and reducing downstream design changes.
The cloud-based platform also allows multiple stakeholders to collaborate within a common digital environment, providing access to shared project information, design concepts, and planning data in real time. By creating a single digital workspace, Autodesk Forma will improve coordination between architects, consultants, engineering teams and project leadership, leading to faster reviews, improved transparency, and more efficient decision-making. Autodesk Forma also integrates seamlessly with Autodesk’s wider ecosystem, including Revit and Autodesk Construction Cloud, enabling a connected workflow from concept planning through design and execution
Speaking about the partnership, Anay Nayan Shah, Joint Managing Director, Mayfair Housing, said, “The scale and complexity of today’s real estate developments require a far more integrated and collaborative approach to project execution. Digital transformation has become a strategic priority for the industry, and our partnership with Autodesk marks an important milestone in our journey towards building a connected and technology-driven project ecosystem. Through Autodesk Forma, we look to create greater transparency, improve collaboration across stakeholders and strengthen execution standards throughout the project lifecycle.”
As artificial intelligence, cloud collaboration and digital design technologies continue to reshape the built environment, platforms such as Autodesk Forma are expected to play an increasingly important role in enabling smarter, more sustainable and resilient urban development. Through this investment, Mayfair Housing is laying the digital foundation for future innovation, creating an integrated project ecosystem that enhances planning, improves execution, and supports long-term business growth.
