Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Autodesk Construction Cloud" October 13, 2023 5.0 Pros The ease of uploading sheets and files to communicate with field staff is great. The new calibration tool improved accuracy now that you can set the scale and not relay on the 2 pt configuration. Cons The BIM viewing errors out often. Viewing document on a mobile device is great you can search pretty easy. On a computer its nots as convenient. Sometimes zooming in on prints takes a while to load or needs to be refreshed. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma We started with PLangrid so the switch was pretty simple. Procore is a little more expensive at the moment. Review Source jL jafet L.

Sus funciones de colaboración en tiempo real y su capacidad para identificar problemas potenciales temprano en el proceso son verdaderamente valiosas Pros Esta plataforma es genial para colaborar en tiempo real y mejorar la calidad del trabajo. También te ayuda a ahorrar dinero al identificar problemas antes de que se conviertan en costosos obstáculos.

Manager BIM Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Integration of software" April 6, 2017 4.0 Experience is good with BIM360 if you use the total cycle of BIM360. Great workflow for design partners (A/C/MEP). I'm a General Contractor and also have to deal with subcontractors, suppliers and partners. they deliver other formats such as IFC files. that's lacking in BIM360 and Navisworks right now. there is no good workflow to engage the partners to the platform. Even so is Issue Management missing. in Design stage it is difficult to track an Issue. then we miss the integration with planning/scheduling software there is no development on: BIM360 Plan BIM360 Schedule the same with: Quantity Take Off BIM Model check on standards / BIM execution plan Rule based checking in the model for example: clash on: swing of the door hits anything in his way. integration with planning /scheduling to make 4D still images and animations. there is one in Navisworks I know but it would be great to have that integration with: Revit model + Partner Models -> Glue -> planning connection with geometrie -> make animations or images/bookwork for realisation stage. Then data -> cross project data pull out for Quality / Safety advisors and board. visualisation of that data And the biggest miss is one single platform login. now its scatered all around single point solutions. Still waiting for BIM360 Docs to be more mature. Our current document management system is still better than Docs so I can't start implementation of BIM360 Docs if there are some key functionality missing right now. I'm sorry for the critical notes I made above but I think it's good to be critical and hopefully you can get the benefits of it. And as you might know we love BIM360 and are heavily using it on our projects! keep up the good work and great vision for the future of BIM360!

Pros Mas que todo es una crítica positiva ya que nos encontramos en un entorno globalizado, donde podemos realizar e involucrar los datos operacionales obtenidos en campo, construcción y/o ingeniería y ligarlos o unirlos en una nube llamada cloud, y desde ahí poder realizar la correcta gestión de proyecto, tanto como planos, documentarios, diseños.Te proporciona una gama de herramientas y software como Revit, Autodesk civil 3D, que son programas que te permiten realizar metrados de manera rápida, lo cual puede ser llevado a un presupuesto.Lo recomiendo totalmente Cons El costo de los programas, son caros; además se debería de autorelacionar con power bi y oracle cloud.ya que la programación de obras es sumamente importante sobre todo el schedule plan master Review Source AS Alex S. CEO Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Don't waste your time" August 2, 2019 2.0 Pros cheap to get into need to fill the space for minimum number of characters Cons lack of functionality OCR is not upto par can't search text within reports Alternatives considered [Autodesk Forma](https://www.capterra.com/p/218046/Autodesk-Construction-Cloud/)[Fieldwire](https://www.capterra.com/p/142801/Fieldwire/) Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma One of our major clients subscribed to Plangrid and we wanted to be on the same system. Over a year later they still haven't used it on any of the projects, and I doubt they ever will. Plangrid is one of the cheapest software to get into, however, once you start adding users and pages/sheets the cost becomes on par or higher than other services while the functionality is very much lacking. so the overall value is very low compared to Procore. Even the one thing they are supposed to be good - drawing management, it is far from ideal. OCR doesn't recognize a lot of the links, in some cases entire PDFs are not workable in Plangrid. Support says it has to do with how the PDF was created, but since we don't create the drawings we have no control of it and therefore have no way of using them in Plangrid. Other services like Procore have no issue reading the same files, so that tells me the problem is with Plangrid not the file. Another issue with the drawings tool is the inability to separate the drawings by areas. Tech support suggested that we create separate projects for each separate area, which defeats the entire purpose of this service. Review Source aS abdelrahman S.

Director of Pre-Construction Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Complete Construction program " October 13, 2023 5.0 great program for office and field to manage a construction project from the bidding to the completion Pros it is very easy to navigate, interact with others, it is real time and can be used to update everyone on the job progress.can do takeoff, drawings notes, progress photos Cons there are features that may need to be slightly modified to make it more user friendly.

January 4, 2019 4.0 We often worked with other firms on large products and were not able to coordinate in real time with there models, this caused us to sometimes reference old designs to try and eliminate tons of hours exchanging the design files. With this web interface even if they don't work on the cloud we can have them drag and drop files to the web and then when we open our model we will see the new version of the file as our reference even if they don't have BIM 360. Pros The ability to publish the Sheets in a model to the web interface with no computer resources needed from the users/designers. Also allowing the permissioning of folders and files so certain users cant accidently effect your design. Ability to compare versions of models. There are so many ways this allows nonrevit users to understand where in the Design your project is. Cons There is a slight upcharge for the product and there are pieces you can buy on top of that, instead of making it one package and price point I have to convince management to purchase extra parts to get all the benefits.

Civil engineer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Autodesk construction cloud review " June 30, 2022 5.0 Really we solved several problems using Autodesk, especially when teams are separated in their fields, and it's hard to collect and ease our work only by using this software. Pros First this software makes a good connection workflows, also data and teams at each stage of construction process. With its main purpose is reducing risk, and maximizing efficiency. Cons Everything in this software made it so good especially its features related to cloud. Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma Because of its efficient and interesting features and helpful for us Review Source Mathew H. Superintendent Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Plangrid" November 16, 2023 5.0 Great. The app is extremely intuative so the learning curve is reduced and simple. Just looks more complicated then it really is. Pros Document viewing the Field is a necessity. Linking RFI's and submittals to the drawings makes things clear and reduces misses during construction. Cons Sometimes sync issue while uploading photos and documents while changing from WIFI to LTE. Sometimes the sync needs to be cleared and redone. Switched from [Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/) Effeciencies and to be able to have simple field access. Going paperless is the right approach. Review Source SW Simon W. Senior Project Manager Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great for BIM Collaboration" June 5, 2023 5.0 Great for VC and BIM but the structure of the pricing model forces you into overbuying the less functional or optimal portions of the service. Pros The ability to host, comment, and share a virtual construction model makes ACC stand out from the crowd. Cons Using buildertrend currently as an "all in one" solution, ACC lacks the built in scheduling and purchasing aspects with other portions of the management suite outsourced to subsidiaries (take off, estimating, schedule). This makes it costly with multiple programs to manage. Web browser also lags on a mac with model viewing and the rest of the system is not built with the mac user in mind. Least favourite part is that it does not eliminate or reduce the amount of systems and bring it all in one but just bolts on and still requires the use of even excel, word, google drive, gmail, project etc. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/)[Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) Review Source Yavuz Selim E.

Wİth Autodesk Construction Cloud I don't need another cloud service for management of our projects. Pros It gets our work synchronized since we use other Autodesk products in our projects.

Workers found it easy to understand and use, immediate buy in Keeps your project tasks in order Assigning tasks to works and superintendents easily real time information from projects without the need for constant visits safety issues recorded and documented newly improved field reports and check list creator WAY easiler to adopt than Procore Cons Terrible user based subscription system, not construction friendly for GCs with many subcontractors Would like to see built in actual budgeting and POs High price for upgraded features (submittals and RFI advanced) that is not rolled out with complete workflow tracking and multiple reviewers User based subscription may actually make this more ex\[pensive than Procore with far less functionality Alternatives considered [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/)[RAKEN](https://www.capterra.com/p/153591/RAKEN/) Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma Builder trend seems to be better suited for Single Family Residential Builders. But more importantly did not offer a free trial period. this was a major sticking point for my technology limited boss. they do offer a trial/refund period. Raken is a good field reporting solution and could improve safety and some in field visibility but has a long way to go to get to the level that the competition is at as far as the construction industry. their pricing is realistic for what they offer, or even a little high Switched from [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Price of product and complexity of implementation Review Source AS Abigail S. Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wanted to like this product" January 31, 2017 1.0 We tried to use this program to keep track of inspections and open items on the jobsite. I think the user interface could be a lot more user friendly. I see this program's main use as creating issues and distributing those issues. This could easily be done with an excel spreadsheet. As far as creating checklists, when you are done creating checklists they auto-populate into one main area. So say we create 1000 checklists, in order to find that one checklist I would have to sort through that pool of 1000. There should be different folders you can put them into or they should populate by trade (i.e. plumbing, electrical, etc.) or by title of the checklist. This same problem applies to when an issue is created. Yes, you can sort by company, but I don't think punch list issues should be pooled together with field issues. They should be separated by category when you go into the issues tab. I think there should be a separate interface for Owner's. Owner's should be able to still create field issues or punch list items for the GC, but I don't agree that they should be able to see all other issues created by the GC. I also don't like the fact that there is an email notification sent for every issue created. Maybe I missed it in the settings, but there should be different settings for email notifications. I was getting sometimes up to 100 email notifications regarding punch list each day. It was a major turn off for me using this program. Pros I like that you can add consultants, architects, engineers, Owners, etc. I like the fact that you can add comments and pictures to issues. This makes it effective when using on an ipad in the field. I think the comments should come with a signature so we know who made the comment instead of having to type it manually and it should also be date and time stamped. This is effective in tracking open items and seeing when they are closed. Cons Uploading drawings and other documents is a nightmare. There has got to be an easier way than waiting minutes for the drawings to upload and jam up my computer. The same applies to syncing. It shouldn't take several minutes to sync wirelessly. It was painful having to wait for the ipad app to sync. And if you don't sync you can lose everything if something happens to the ipad. This did happen to some of our team members, painful. Review Source AE Alan E. BIM Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Invaluable for BIM Coordination during the Construction and Design Processes" January 31, 2017 5.0 Typically BIM Coordination occurs at the design level and involves long periods of methodical planning and QAQC activities. My experience is that, while important, it doesn't matter what A/E designs when subcontractors are given means & methods in their contract and have their own layouts to design, submit, fabricate, and install. Using BIM 360 Glue for construction activities has been amazing. The ability my subs have to constantly update their models within BIM 360 has allowed us to run continuous clash reports on the merged coordination model. In the fast-paced construction phase, it has been crucial to ensure that all trades are coordinated before they send their parts to shop in order to facilitate a smooth installation with minimal field changes. Limiting field changes helps us save money and time; that being said, BIM 360 Glue has already paid for itself. Overall Quality: 5 stars due to its reputation and integration with Autodesk's line of products (Revit/CAD on the design-side, and Navis/BIM 360 Field on the construction side). Ease of Use: 4 stars due to Friendy GUI, and familiar functionality from desktop to iPad. However, it's annoying to have to manually run clashes every time the merged model is updated (which can be daily). This is VERY time-consuming if you have multiple clash sets between disciplines. Features and Functionality: 4 stars due to clunky clash detection (it's easier and more helpful to run clash detection with Navisworks). Everybody in the field is in LOVE with the iPad app, though. The 3D walkthroughs of the model with accelerometer and gyroscope sensor input are amazing. It's great walking through a site-in-progress with the client, and pull up BIM360 Glue on the iPad, drop a pin on your location in the floor plan, and give them a live 3D view of what space will look like. Customer support: 5 stars Autodesk forums are the best. Value: 5 stars, we pay our license fee and can add as many subcontractor users as needed. The saving in reduced field changes/mistakes has paid for the license ten-fold. Pros \-iPad functionality -Ease of model updating -Ability to share with the client in an easy-to-grasp way Cons \-Clunky clash detection -Slow performance on legacy hardware -Inability to auto-run clash detection Review Source Favio R.

Pros Great sharing capabilities for data needed by all the team. It works great in every stage of the project, from design to completion. Cons Some problems when transferring existing jobs from a local network. If the files and x-refs are not perfectly organized and clean, you might run into an issue when saving and syncing to the cloud.

Some are very usefull (BIM360Team) and in the perfekt pricing. Some should get more funktions to be helpfull (BIM360Docs) or only should learn from the other BIM Tools. So it's not possible to view Office-Files on BIM Docs and it allready works in BIM360Team. Allso I miss the upload and update funktion of complet folders. This was possible in the old version of Team. In BIMDocs there is only the oppotunity to upload files (no folder!). So it's hard to keep the lokal and cloud area on the same database. To share files between different Cloud Tools isn't working. Therefore the BIM Docs area is made for. I know it, but at this time it's hard to handle it. In the end I will thank you for all the help I get from support team. You do a great job. Also, you should know, that I like the cloud-products. It's the only way to work in future and your products, with all of their mistakes, bugs and missing funktions, are the the top 5 in the world. Thanks for your innovations! Pros Many, but the most importants are: View all Data online without download them, communication, easy to use Cons Still too much missing features!!! Data lokal are not automaticly compare to the cloud and the pricing is not attraktiv for start working with the cloud. The first step should be cheap. When you place your data in the cloud, found out, that it's working fine, you mostly will not exit the system. But meanwhile you start use the system and try to invite some more, a high pricing will avoide to get the first step in the cloud. It will be helpfull that a small admin-team should be allowed to use it for free. Comercial users like worker, industrie, snd so on have to pay for it, after the admins arranged everything.

Trainee Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Autodesk Construction Cloud" December 25, 2022 4.0 I have had minimal i Pros Autodesk has an extremely firm suite so you get the full flex of choices when you are utilizing this. Each conceivable specialty you can imagine is remembered for Autodesk Development Cloud so you don't need to stress over purchasing additional items or a lot of various items. I additionally like the update highlight. Autodesk does their updates at evenings and on ends of the week so it isn't problematic to your day dissimilar to a few different items out there so all fix refreshes and so forth are constantly finished beyond working hours. I likewise truly appreciate that this product is viable across all gadgets as we have a blend of Windows and Macintosh clients. Regardless of what equipment you are utilizing Autodesk works simply the equivalent so all end clients can partake in a similar encounter. Cons Autodesk is threatening to those new to computer aided design virtual products because of the high level format of the product, and the absence of instructional exercises to aid the improvement of activities Review Source BC Billie C.

" April 10, 2018 3.0 Cuts down on site visit time Pros +Favorites List: You can input a list of favorite deficiencies into BIM 360 - this lets you select common items. I've had to punch over 300 apartments in a dorm - seeing the same installation deficiencies over and over. With BIM 360, documenting was as easy as a few clicks - saving time on the job. +Dropping Pins - this feature lets you pin point the exact location where the deficiency is. Combined with the ability to take photos, the contractor has no excuse. Cons \-Web-based software: We may live in a digital age but construction still requires documentation. After a day's work of punching a building I need a copy of my comments for the project file. To acquire a "field report" or PDF of comments from BIM 360, you literally have to check every deficiency item. When dealing with hundreds of items, it becomes tedious. There is no select all feature. -No Microsoft Surface Pro app for BIM 360. My client required BIM 360 so my employer had to buy iPads to meet the client's requirements. -When using the web based software it can be slow when selecting a filter i.e. an item generated by my company. The loading time is very slow. If Autodesk addressed these issues, they would surpass their competitors in the construction management software. Review Source TH Tim H.

We have try and tested some but without a doubt that’s the best in his category Pros Before knowing Plangrid we were comparing and managing file single handily and we have to create multiple packages for onsite use ... which often end up outdated. With plangrid, you have all you architectural drawing located a one single place and can be accessible without internet connection. You can easily compare the various version and finally, you can easily connect the team onsite with the office. This software have changed our way of working thru the time and we are now using it on a daily basic. Ohhh yes, you have to try the customer service, probably the best one that I have ever add. Always available and always knowledgeable and give up real follow up when needed. You can also provide feedback which sometime result in newest features which is awesome! Cons Each user have to possess a different account to work properly. See that like an additional fee just like a cellphone line. It’s about the same price and also as much useful.

" August 9, 2017 4.0 Collation of data at project completion was the major benefit of the FIELD software which was backed up by the ability to attach evidence at checklist creation. Pros The ease of collating records on completion of a project has been huge as has day to day monitoring of checks and issues. Supporting evidence attached immediately to a checklist has also been of great benefit reducing the risk of losing information. The availability of analyzing issues has improved the approach to recording of such information and encouraged the Health & Safety triangle approach to recording minor issues and the hope of decreasing the occurrence of more major Non-Conformances. Cons An ability to sign off particular queries within a checklist would be a great improvement allowing the monitoring of HOLD points within works which can only be done by splitting Checklists up under the current system. Digital signatures through iPads are not accurate and become less so when pads are holding a lot of data. We cannot issue iPads to everyone within a project and thus cannot sign off through individual log-ins but a system to sign in as a signatory and have that recognized within the checklist history would be of great benefit. Functionality on browsers for the desktop access varies and does not allow certain actions on certain browsers. Our client does not have the freedom to download browsers and are locked out by the network administration so a more uniform performance on these platforms would be beneficial.
