Drainage design for housing sites is becoming increasingly complex. Tighter site constraints, limited green space, and mounting planning pressures mean that traditional approaches, including overreliance on spreadsheets, can result in unreliable outputs, inflated storage requirements, and wasted design time.
As part of the Autodesk Water Webinar Series, this session will showcase a practical, real-world approach to creating efficient, reliable drainage models for housing developments, helping professionals streamline their workflows while meeting today’s planning and design demands.
Upcoming webinar: Wednesday, March 4, 2026 – 14:00 CET
Efficient Drainage Modelling for Housing Developments: Best Practice Case Study
Brian Jones, Associate Engineering Director at Newland Homes, will share practical insights from a recently approved greenfield housing development, outlining a structured and efficient approach to drainage modelling. Drawing on this real-world example, he will demonstrate how to:
- Build streamlined, repeatable drainage models
- Move beyond spreadsheets to a scalable workflow
- Integrate SuDS effectively on constrained sites
