### "360 Field has been an extremely helpful tool in coordinating between the field and the architect."

August 8, 2017

4.0

We have used this software faithfully for the past 3 years and have plans to expand it's use further in the company. It has helped us communicate issues quickly and efficiently to subcontractors, as well as increase the quality of our projects through the use of quality control checklists completed by the project team, as well as subcontractors.

Pros

It has helped immensely with the punch list process and has sped up communication between all required parties. It is also very helpful to have all the drawings and documents in one convenient location in the app on the iPad.

Cons

I wish the software had better markup features. Some of the competitors software is a little more user friendly and has more options for marking up documents and adding hyperlinks.

### "BIM 360 Glue Review - Great Improvement to the Overall MEP Coordination Process"

January 31, 2017

4.0

As a BIM coordinator within the construction industry, BIM 360 Glue has completely transformed my team's workflow. Before Glue, we had to manually refresh the merged MEPF Coordination model with every update that the subcontractor sent in. This was a tedious and burdensome process since not all team members have the same schedule. With Glue, we were able to give the autonomy back to the CAD drafter. At the click of a button within their authoring software tool, they can refresh the merged coordination model seamlessly. While this aspect of BIM 360 Glue is a huge improvement from it's counterpart, there is one feature that I feel could use some improvement, which is the clash detection test. The interface on this makes it somewhat useless. Clashes are quantified as "dots", and it's difficult to isolate out the important clashes from the unimportant ones. This is really my only recommendation that Autodesk improves within BIM 360 Glue.

Pros

Plug-ins for authoring software, interoperability with Navisworks Manage.

Cons

Clash detection, interface is not user-friendly. Sometimes larger models do not work as smooth in cloud storage. Insertion points will not always be defaulted at 0 for all models.

### "BIM 360 DOCS - Is it worth it"

December 5, 2018

5.0

Overall, i love it. It can take your whole office filing and model drawing to the cloud allowing you to work remotely. To me cloud based modelling is perfect, and I don't even pick up hassles working on a 350mb model from home with only a 5mb line. It handles it effortlessly.

Pros

There is a definite ease of use in comparison to BIM 360 Team that we may be familiar with for those who started working in a cloud based environment with the interface having more of a "Windows Explorer"feel that is fully customisable and with it running off Autodesks Skyscraper Server I find it faster than when running off BIM 360 Team, prbably explains why from Revit v 2019 Team is no longer avaialble. The added benefit of Autodesk constantly improving and adapting the software based on end users feedback and criticisms will keep you constantly impressed with what they are doing.

Cons

This can also bring it to a Con....because Autodesk is always finely tuning the software i wouldn't recommend activating a new addon that they provide immediately after it comes out of "Preview"phase. I have found it to still be buggy and has caused me embarrassment when the end-user takes it as my fault it is not doing what it was supposed to do. 6 months later and now it appears to be working well.

### "PlanGrid review "

March 8, 2019

4.0

Very good experience. I’ve been using plangrid for about 6 years or so. I’ve explained how to use it to many apprentices and even some office staff with ease.

Pros

Very user friendly. New users can navigate through every function required for day to day use.

Cons

Lack of preset scaling feature. It would be handy to have a scale move with the drawings as you zoom in and out. Most plans as pdf’s you can manipulate to make a percentage of the original scale. This is the most common reason we still use paper drawings.

### "Very helpful in the implementation integrated bim practices on larger projects with heavy data"

May 7, 2018

4.0

Handle larger model files, Having multiple projects setup on the same platform with a very flexible folder structure. Multiple users can easily upload and update there models, which makes it very valuable.

Pros

Can handle data of higher file sizes, Multiple people can update files on the cloud to always have a live model. flexible for project setup (Folder structure)

Cons

Sometimes the models can take too long to upload, during no users can access the merged model. The cloud platform for 3D window has a slow user interface

### "BIM 360"

February 23, 2019

4.0

Overall , BIM becoming popular and it guide us in every stage of construction activities. Best software for planning , designing and monitoring I have ever seen.

Pros

BIM is becoming popular in construction industry which is used for planning designing and monitoring of the project. Errors and issues arise during the construction can be predicted . It monitor resources and materials so, unnecessary cost can be controlled. It guides any construction activities.

Cons

High amount is required for implementing the software and it hard to become familiar . First anyone who is going to use must be trained and guided by experts.

### "Powerful and collaborative engineering tool"

August 24, 2019

4.0

Pros

What I love the most about BIM 360 is that its a collaborative tool that enables many users to work together on similar tasks and bring in great contribution which is productivity. I also love that there's plenty of resources and training materials that make the whole learning process a whole lot easier.

Cons

The tool is not the simplest to learn and use but with the great resources there is and incredible support the entire process is made much simpler and easier.

### "BIM 360 Design"

December 21, 2018

4.0

Love it, we have 200 seats of BIM 360 Design and 25 seats of BIM 360 Docs. Every project in the firm is on the platform no matter what size. Our teams enjoy the experience and ease of sharing files with consultants when they are also working on the platform

Pros

Ease of management and project set up. The ability to track multiple projects from a management side of things

Cons

Upgrading features are non-existent. We have 20+ projects in Revit 2018.3 that would be awesome to upgrade. (Beta Tools is in action to resolve this)

### "A Lifecycle Is Born!"

January 31, 2017

4.0

FINALLY. Through the tools and fluid workflows offered by the BIM 360 platform, we're able to connect a true cradle-to-cradle experience on our projects. From moment 1, our project teams are connected; from concept... through design... into pre-construction... through construction... and on into building operations. Our people and our data are always connected and always up-to-date. We are truly enabled to work in a collaborative, lifecycle-focused structure.

Pros

Always connected, single source of truth

Cons

Some tools are under development... so this "con" is temporary

### "The BIM reference for Construction FIELD"

April 5, 2017

4.0

We use BIM 360 from the beginning, helping General Contractors to get an advantage! We noticed a 1 hour per day per user that we save on the job...

Pros

Ease of use, Mobility

Cons

A lot of things changes, not everything is set. It feels like sometimes we are using a beta...

### "This is an incredible platform, but it still needs some developing. "

August 8, 2017

3.0

Increased transparency amongst designers and with the entire project team. Not everyone on the project has the software needed to view the models, but with BIM 360 they now can.

Pros

Great interface and very user-friendly, and the accessibility from most mobile devices is very convenient.

Cons

360-DOCs needs functionality for Microsoft Office 365, so not every document has to be PDF'd The folder structures should be more malleable for administrators. We need to be able to download complete projects for archiving, and it would be great if we could drag-and-drop entire folder structures (with files inside) for large uploads. BOX.com is highly competitive in this aspect. We need an all-in-one cloud-based project information solution. Moving entire folders with sub-folders is badly needed as well. It would also be nice to see a syncing solution like BOX-Drive and BOX-Sync. If BIM 360 DOCs included the extra functionality that BOX has, it would be our all-in-one common-data-environment.

February 13, 2023

Satisfied.

Pros

Organization of my store logistics, excellent software, creation of lists, guides, and everything.

Cons

Necessary software, and very easy to use on a daily basis, there is nothing to complain about, unless you want to improve even more, but it is already very good.

### "BIM360 and Essential Component to our Project Delivery"

January 31, 2017

4.0

We used BIM 360 Field and Plan on a daily basis to track progress and punch list items on a first of its kind facility here in Orlando, FL. BIM 360 Plan made it quick an easy to track short term critical activity progress. Plan helped to fill the scheduling gaps that some of the other construction planning suites that we use on a daily basis. The PPC calculator helps PM staff to find out which subcontractors are slipping and man power is lacking. Our superintendents used Field on a daily basis to track punch items and issue deficiency reports to subcontractors on a weekly basis.

Pros

The product is web based and optimized for the IPAD which makes it very easy to use and access quickly.

Cons

I didn't like how the PPC feature on plan didn't update live after updating the schedule.

### "From a Chevy to a Cadillac"

January 31, 2017

5.0

I am currently on my second project as an Assistant Superintendent for a large general contractor. MY first project was very QAQC and inspection driven. On this first project, I used a rival program for the implementation of QAQC and owner punch lists. It quickly fell short to my needs in regard to ease of use, detail, and functionality. Now that project was finished and I have moved across the street to another large project on the same campus where BIM 360 was implemented for the beginning. It is like night and day. Even while having never used a program of this fashion before, I was able to immediately acclimate to its functions and navigation. The in depth detail and customization on the fly has made our pre inspections a breeze. The inclusion of pictures and the ability to provide notes from the sub contractors has eliminated both the need to track someone down and physically show them the issue and any confusion as to what the issue actually entails. Our team and subcontractors alike have bought in to the efficiency and value this program has brought to our project.

Pros

the versatility and customization

Cons

the need for the constant syncing back and forth between us and the subs.

### "This is one great software for the construction field."

February 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is a smart software that can cross-link drawings, allows collaborators to create and close out issues with all stakeholders and also allows to carry a bulky set of drawings everywhere in the field in the form of a 700-gram tablet.

Cons

The subscription to this software is very expensive for small firms. They should have lower tiers of subscriptions for small-sized firms.

Working with outside clients and team members

Pros

The ability to work with any team anywhere. Also, sharing with others that may not have the software to view models.

Cons

That it's not included in my subscription. This is a necessary product to work with outside clients and would be great to be included in our subscription so we don't have to worry about another software purchase.

### "Would use the product more if an iPhone (mobile phone) application were made for 360Field"

August 16, 2017

3.0

Pros

BIM Glue: --Excellent tool for visualizing complex building systems (mechanical, plumbing, structure) in 3D model space. 360Field: --Ease of photo documentation for field quality issues, testing timeframes, etc.

Cons

BIM Glue: --Inability to manipulate subcontractor models from the General Contractor role. (e.g. minor layout tweaks in plan or elevation view require the subcontractor to make the revision. Sometimes smaller subcontractor companies do not have the capacity to keep making minor revisions or they are just furnishing the material only.) 360Field: --Lacks an iPhone (mobile phone) application which would definitely promote use of photo documentation and issue updating for tradesmen (superintendents, general foreman, carpenters, people who do not carry an iPad for their daily routines, etc.). --At the end of a 2013 project, the contract required progress photos to be furnished to the Owner. When inquiring with Autodesk, pulling all photos from the project required a fee to be paid. --Photos module should have a filter function (similar to Issues module) in addition to the existing sorting function and tag search. Not all people add tags to the photos. If the photos retain the issue ID or location information, it helps to narrow down searches for relevant areas/rooms in a project.

### "PlanGrid review "

April 15, 2019

5.0

Plangrid has been a great help overall. It saves a lot of time, confusion, it makes as-builts super simple.

Pros

What I like most is the ability to add other users to a project and keep everyone updated on a set of prints. Being able to drop pictures onto prints so the foreman can see potential problems is also a big upside.

Cons

I don’t like the page limits. Some of my projects get filled with a lot of useless reference sheets so the pages get filled up quickly.

### "Good for file management in the cloud"

April 2, 2018

4.0

Used as an alternative to dropbox because one of the add-ons allows us to share more easily with clients.

Pros

Useful for what we purchased it for, we can keep all docs in one place. Having an icon on each file is a nice visual cue when searching for files.

Cons

No way to customize the user interface which is disappointing. We are also required to pay for service add-ons that we never use.
