### "Powerful, but expensive."

September 17, 2019

5.0

Great in new projects where it can be the main system that is managing the project, but even if that is not the case there are a bunch of great tools.

Pros

It handles RFI's and Submittals smoother than some other tools that have been around a for a long time.

Cons

If you already have systems setup for QM, RFIs/Submittals, and Safety, the integration is not going to be as easy as you would expect for the price.

Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma

We hired other engineers who have used this software in the past and it had some great tools that made it worth adding to our catalog.

### "If you are considering trying PlanGrid, do it!"

March 5, 2019

5.0

I am SO happy with the overall experience. I am impressed with how PlanGrid continues to improve features and functionality. It just seems to keep getting better and better. The Customer Support is awesome, I love being able to chat with support at almost any given time, and how you can give feedback and request feature changes/improvements and get a response back. Keep up the good work!

Pros

Ease of use is #1. Many in the construction industry are apprehensive about delving into new technologies, but PlanGrid has made it so easy to use, that literally anyone can use it.

Cons

Dragging the screen around in the Windows app can be a little jerky, but it's only slightly annoying. The measuring feature could use some improvements to make it easier to use and more accurate.

### "Extremely simple UI plan viewer"

January 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

The benefit of this product really comes from the simplicity of it's user interface. It makes implementing a digital plan management solution extremely easy for those more tenured field users. Additionally the mobile first solution makes viewing optimized in the field on any device. Simple markups, reviewing callouts, communicating changes, and reviewing updates are made super easy.

Cons

The pricing can be steep for what is offered. This is especially true when trying to bring trades on who need viewer access only to the plans. These users must purchase a full license. Additionally they may not always need access to all the sheets, but because the licensure is setup for licenses to be based on number of sheets assigned, trades end up paying extra for things they do not need. This may make it difficult at times to get buy in from the trades on using the software.

### "BIM 360 is the future"

September 7, 2019

5.0

Completed a collaborative project with another design firm/ engineering team from half way around the world with minimal corruptions and down time, which allowed for 24hour workflow. Sharing information was easy and centralized location, no other 3rd party software and housing sites involved.

Pros

Creating a cloud-based platform that all collaborators can access, share data, and host models in one seamless space. Ability to set notification preferences, security privileges, and track project progress. For collaboration between design offices it is a must.

Cons

Requires additional software license to use and setup can be a little tricky, especially with team members who may only be on projects temporarily.

### "Great on file management, not quite navisworks."

January 31, 2017

4.0

Love the file sharing and connectivity of BIM 360. Gone are the days of subs claiming "i don't have there latest file" It also makes it nice because subs always have access to eachothers files and are more prone to work with eachother since they have a nice platform to communicate with. The model review side of things isn't so great. I often find myself asking why doesn't this act like Navis! Lag and lack of certain tools such as saving a section leave me frustrated. I'm sure I don't know all the tips and tricks but its not a intuitive as Navisworks in the model review process. Otherwise its the best tool for model management out there!

Pros

Model share aspects, easy to upload and download and group models together.

Cons

Reviewing models within the BIM 360 platform. Often has lag, longer to open, harder to review, sectioning doesn't save, coloring is lacking.

### "Great capabilities of "

December 16, 2022

4.0

Pros

1)Comprehensive project management capabilities: Autodesk Construction Cloud offers a range of tools for creating detailed project schedules, tracking tasks, and monitoring progress in real-time. This helps to keep projects on track and ensures that all team members are working efficiently towards a common goal.2)Collaboration tools: The platform includes a range of features for document management, communication, and 3D modeling, which make it easy for team members to share information and work together, even if they are located in different parts of the world.

Cons

1)Cost: Autodesk Construction Cloud can be a relatively expensive option compared to some other project management and collaboration tools on the market.2)Learning curve: Some users may find that the platform has a bit of a learning curve, especially if they are not familiar with construction project management software. It may take some time to get used to all of the features and functions of the platform.

### "Amazing software!"

November 20, 2018

5.0

Made ordering materials so easy, staying connected with project managers was a breeze.

Pros

Software is easy to use for a beginner, can use all features on IPAD, self-explanatory based on basic construction knowledge.

Cons

NOTHING.....love the software. Best organizational decision was to purchase this software.

### "Great Product!"

February 10, 2017

5.0

I am working with a general contractor on a 500,000 SF hospital and without BIM 360 our job would be extremely more difficult! I use the product daily and the BIM 360 Field app is a game changer. Everyone on site has an iPad with the app which makes communication simple. I would recommend this product to anyone!

Pros

The ability to have every drawing right at your fingertips is crucial. This saves tremendous amounts of time and makes communication easier because it allows everyone involved in the project to have their own working set.

Cons

The only thing that I can think of that would make this product better is if BIM 360 Field would sync automatically in real time. This would eliminate the delay of changes or updates made in the field. This is also a very small inconvenience.

### "Great Project tracking program"

September 11, 2023

5.0

Overall I thinks its a great tool for project management.

Pros

I like that i can see the project progress as well as keep all documents associated with said projects in the same spot for everyone to view.

Cons

GCs expect that we all have experience in all of these various project management programs. they're all different in their own ways and usually difficult to navigate at first. There should be tutorial videos for each of these programs.

### "Review from a 4 month old user "

March 10, 2023

5.0

In general, it allows you to work together from anywhere and to have a wide view of the project files.

Pros

It allows you to have a work area where you can manage the entire project, the best feature is the cloud function where each user can upload and access project files, including via cell phone.

Cons

A disadvantage is to have the processes already predefined. This should be changed, as working groups sometimes need to customize processes as projects evolve.

### "Great Product That Could Use Some Tweaking"

February 10, 2017

3.0

I have had the experience to use BIM 360 online and on an iPad. The iPad version is extremely useful and I love the features that it enables me onsite. I have used it for punch lists, and it's great to make a list that can be linked to drawings, subs, issues, etc. I think BIM 360 has some great uses and increases our ability to track issues that appear on the job site. I do not, however, like the online version. It's not easy to use while uploading, downloading, etc. any documents. I think that it needs to be more user-friendly and simplified. A desktop version of all the folders would be helpful as well as it takes time to download files from the website. It's a great product, however I would be more apt to use it if it was easier to use.

Pros

I like all the features it has. You can make lists, checklists, reports, and track issues.

Cons

It is not very easy to use. The online version is especially hard to use. It needs to be more simple to use and understand, and needs to be easier to download or use on a desktop computer.

### "Simple to use and it's easy to see that the development team has good understanding of construction"

May 3, 2018

4.0

Consolidation of project data. Gets everyone on the same page.

Pros

That it provides one home to save all the issues that need to be resolved within the project. You can create reports and see ALL of what's deficient or missing.

Cons

I feel like the user interface could be simplified further. Meaning, it's simple enough, but some it does take some time to enter issues and do checklists. Visual aids would be terrific to have. Instead of checking words one could look at the image of a standard wall and mark any deficiencies or quality issues. I know that's what the images are for, but I feel like the whole process of taking pictures and marking them up could be made quicker.

### "Optimal Construction Management Software"

February 21, 2019

3.0

Overall, BIM 360 is the right software to try out if your company is trying to switch over to a more progressive communication system. It is definitely a step in the right direction if you are looking to upgrade to a newer standard of how construction management can efficiently and effectively run a project site.

Pros

Many construction companies are now switching to software that allows employees connect virtually through the use of tablets and smartphones. This system is specifically designed to make the lives of construction managers much easier and allows an increased productivity in workflow. It effectively combines all the important aspects of being a construction manager such as including safety tools for on the job site, maintaining a high quality of standards, submitting bids and contract information, and being able to upload site plans with a touch of a button. There is also an option to try the software for free to see if it works with your company and if it benefits your construction management team.

Cons

Like with any newly developed software, there are some bugs with the program and how it runs with certain devices. Obviously, if you are using a desktop instead of a tablet the software will run much faster and does not require a WiFi connection. Another basic issue is the cut and paste design of the software where it might benefit some companies better than others based on what the software provides compared to others. Finally, with any new software being introduced in the workplace, it will take time to train employees on how to fully understand the uses and functions of the software.

### "I've only just started using BIM360 and it is very user-friendly and intuitive."

May 7, 2018

4.0

Pros

The ease of use is definitely one of it's best features. Although having a place to simply store and capture all the data around a construction site is another great feature to have at your disposal will working.

Cons

The thing I like least about the software would be the storage and collection pictures on the application, as it would be much better if they could be catalogued by place and time rather than how they are sorted now.

### "Plan Grid"

March 5, 2019

4.0

It is interactive and multiple people can view drawings at the same time. I like the ability to log in from any platform and review whether I am on my iPad or computer.

Pros

I like the ability to see drawings previous to updates. The ability to jump to details from the main drawing is a time saver. If set up properly, the submittal data is a great archive for future use.

Cons

At times, navigating through drawings, the system stops loading and I see a white screen. It takes some work to get back to a screen to relaunch the request for the drawing.

### "A Review of BIM 360."

August 29, 2018

5.0

I have had an overall positive experience with BIM 360. Everything from reviewing documents, and collaboration, to quality control items and overall operations, I recommend this program for construction companies, civil engineers, and construction management firms.

Pros

Autodesk BIM 360 helps assist in project facilitation by providing data used in educated decision-making. It is beneficial from the beginning through the end of the construction project. The software helps in connecting individuals and information thus easing workflow and preventing serious bottleneck situations.

Cons

I had a small issue with certain field issues being lumped together with punch-list items, that initially caused some confusion for inspection purposes. Other than this limited issue, overall, and for the price, I recommend Autodesk BIM 360 for collaborative construction management projects.

### "Makes the work in the field so much easier"

April 2, 2020

5.0

Fewer mistakes in construction because when an architect changes something on the plans there is a real time upload and the changes don't mean ripping walls down because someone did not email the new plans out soon enough

Pros

Can view updates in the drawings real time. When ever changes are made to the design of a project, the changes go right into the software. The whole team can view and implement the changes immediately

Cons

Lack of ability to share on different devices for different people working the same job without another license and added cost

### "Plangrid Review"

March 5, 2019

5.0

PlanGrid is an necessity for our Operations department. It is the first tool used for almost everything in our department. The time it would take to go and get the prints and lay them out is used for more problem solving or repair work. I can also mark up the prints how I wish and add details to the prints on the fly. Plangrid is the number one software in hierarchy then comes the Building Automated Software.

Pros

The ease of use when searching for drawings.

Cons

I had an issue with not being allowed to overlay the drawings and then they fixed it so I can do it from my Samsung galaxy note 8.

### "BIM 360 Usage performance feedback"

April 8, 2017

4.0

My overall experience is good. Most of the Contractors no longer need to carry large drawings to the field. With the use of BIM 360 in the tablets. We can review all drawings, detail sections. You can zoom any details for use. You can upload all drawings, track field issues and write daily reports. To track issues, you can write the field issues, assign responsible contractor to the issue with a photo. You can filter the issues for each subcontractor. When they complete an issue and you verify that the work has been completed. You will close the issue. Under reporting, you have options to filter issues by subcontractor and either email it or print hard copies.

Pros

Using the issues log, daily reporting, review contract drawings, reporting documentations.

Cons

No able to filter issues per room numbers in ascending or descending order.

### "Im an architecture student and im currently learning about the BIM system."

August 10, 2018

4.0

I currently do small projects with Revit and i have learned a lot about BIM and all its advantages. Im fascinated with everything that can be done!

Pros

The ability to work with the cloud and carry out desing projects in real time and with multiple users is the best advance that can be made. You can save time, money and use of paper.

Cons

It is a complicated and difficult system to induce at the business or educational level. So it requires a group with an efficient order in all its parts.

### "Used as a punch-list management tool on the construction of an MLB Ballpark."

August 16, 2017

4.0

We were able to pre-punch, punch, and resolve all issues on a massive project in a two month time span. I felt like all issues were identified, corrected, and signed off I a timely manner by the correct person.

Pros

I liked how issues were assigned to specific people and groups. I also like how issues could be provided with specific locations and drawing snips and pics so there wasn't much wasted time figuring out where/what the issue is that needed to be fixed

Cons

It bogged down email there were times that issues would get uploaded and then be deleted off and then reappear. Obviously you could change settings and not get emails, but I would miss issues and would not respond as quickly when I turned the notifications off.

### "BIM 360 field is a great way to daily communicate the status of issues on a construction project. "

August 8, 2017

5.0

I was able to run a construction project smoothly.

Pros

The ability to automate reports to trade partners, owners, and internal project team. This is a huge help in efficiency and is one less thing to do on a daily basis. The ability to take photos and have them categorized by dates and saved for reference is great!

Cons

The slow detail of adding items. It would be helpful to turn off or on drop down on an issue, so that you could only see 3-6 fields to fill in. This would allow creating issues to be done more efficiently without having to scroll down on the issue form to get to a fill in field. (example: being able to shut off the "location detail" as we didn't use that for description)
