### "BIM360 Review"

March 27, 2019

5.0

It is life changing in our world of civil engineering

Pros

I have liked the fact that you are able to work on an Autodesk and Graphisoft project so fast using BIM360. All teams are able to work on the same project without need to start afresh and that is fascinating. I would really recommend people to use this.

Cons

I liked everything about it. I have not found any problem so far on all projects I have worked on with BIM360

### "Good, Though Limited Product"

April 14, 2016

4.0

Pros

PlanGrid is simple to use, and makes drawing management a breeze. Subcontractors can no longer complain they don't have the most up to date drawings - they're in their pocket at all times.

Cons

PlanGrid's simplicity is both its greatest strength, and its greatest weakness. The ubiquity of "There's an app for that" has turned into many tight and incredibly useful apps that (only) do one thing or another really well. PlanGrid is one of these - the drawing management capabilities are fantastic, but the RFIs tool is not. It is also somewhat a barrier to entry that there is an ever-growing cost associated with PlanGrid. Many subcontractors struggle to justify the cost month to month, especially if they have a small scope on a large project with many sheets. It would make more sense for the cost of PlanGrid on each project to be borne by the GC, and Subs to gain access via invitation, without incurring exponential costs in the process.

### "Bim collaboration "

May 3, 2018

4.0

Live model review

Pros

I like the ease of using a live model through glue for collaboration. Having a cloud based centralized file structure ensures we have the latest and greatest models and information to work with.

Cons

I do not like that you have to have multiple email requests to add team members to BIM 360 team and BIM 360 Glue

### "Better Than Post-It Notes"

January 31, 2017

4.0

We use BIM 360 on a daily basis to track progress on the job site. It is sometimes tough getting all of the superintendents to "buy into" the program, but once they get used to it they start inputting the information themselves. We used this program to coordinated available space during flooring installs and it worked flawlessly. Trades could use the program to coordinate the movement of tools and material to clear the way for the flooring contractor. The program does need a way to edit the days that are worked (for example 4 days a week 10hr days). It would also be nice to have a way of tracking progress that wasn't 100% incomplete or complete.

Pros

The ease of use and the clear representation of the data are the biggest Pros. Everyone can easily interpret the blocks and the colors to represent time and individual responsibilities.

Cons

The days of the work week need to be able to be edited.

### "Plangrid is excellent"

July 30, 2019

5.0

I am an architect/Project Manager/ Quality Control and I spen a lot of time out in the field and in the office. I love that I dont have to carry blueprints, submittals, etc with me, I have everything on plangrid.

Pros

Easy to use. You have to have Plangrid if you are in the construction industry and you work in the field as a superintendent, foreman, quality control etc.

Cons

It has some cons but I like it anyway !!

### "BIM 360 can be used for several aspects in my industry and hope to see it keep developing more. "

May 3, 2018

5.0

The ability to communicate easier with all trade partners on site about issues needed to be addressed. It's another tool for communication between all trades. I believe its very new and will take some time to be fully integrated in the construction industry, but I believe it has great potential to make projects successful.

Pros

The accessibility of being able to customize this tool to fit your project such as uploading plans, and companies etc. It is another tool that our project team used to bridge the gap between design & field installation.

Cons

When utilizing the pin option on the issues location portion of the system, it would be great if the making pins in certain locations would automatically zoom into the area where the issue is marked. Instead of just showing the general location of where the issue is at.

### "Good but can be better."

March 22, 2019

4.0

Pros

I am a very basic user (download files only). I like that it's web based and updates occur routinely.

Cons

It's real unfortunate that I can't select multiple files by clicking on one file and then hitting the shift key and last file. The software allows you only to select one file at a time. A real time waster. If there is a way to do this other than what I just described I would love to know how.

### "Fantastic PM software"

March 3, 2026

5.0

ACC is a great program for construction management. We use it daily and have no regrets at all. Its worth it!

Pros

Good program used in the construction industry for project management, data sharing and workflows for an entire project.

Cons

It is a program that charges per license. If you have a large team that all needs full access it can get expensive but it is certainly worth it.

### "I prefer bim 360 on every project for workflow and accuracy"

May 3, 2018

5.0

Better accuracy and faster coordination on large scale projects.

Pros

What I like most about bim 360 is the ease of use. Very easy to get going on a coordinated project and the ability to see whats happening in real time.

Cons

Really the only con I have with the software is the refresh rates but also its understandable considering the size of some of these commercial projects.

### "Construction Director"

September 24, 2019

5.0

After 7 years of using this product, it integrates into all our field and office use.

Pros

Eliminates Paper Plans in the field I PAD convenience for filed use Ease of uploading to platform Plans can be edited and sent to consultants All around quality, support and functionality. Ease in exporting.

Cons

I don't like the RFI system, and it really lacks in the submittal platform. Otherwise I really do not have an issues.

### "I use Bim360 Field roughly 20 hours per week in total. it is a huge and vital tool for what I do."

August 8, 2017

4.0

it has saved my job tens of thousands of dollars in claims, because i am able to look back at stored information and pictures and debunk claims, because of proper storage of documentation.

Pros

the ability to take pictures, create my own checklists that are catered to the job, the "cloud" like feature that allows me to store hundreds of jobs and thousands of checklists over the course of multiple years. it is a great reference point.

Cons

the lagging and slowness at times. there has seemed to be quite a bit of "bugs" lately and it has bogged down the system. puling up equipment, and reports takes a lot longer than it ever has.

### "Great product with a few bugs that could improve."

February 10, 2017

3.0

Overall BIM 360 works well. I regularly have problems with syncing, a real time application would be much better. I would also like to see a method for issues to be created easier. Right now it is very time consuming to enter issues and when doing punch list for a building that is over 500,000 square feet that time could be spent elsewhere. I would also like to have the ability to create reports while in the field and on my i-pad. One thing to consider is moving towards a platform that does more than just track issues, drawings and models. We, as well as many other companies that I am hearing from are looking for a software that can track issues, drawings, models etc. but also have the ability to write / track RFI's submittals, RCO's etc.. We are starting to see several software options that provide multiple applications that ultimately give you more bang for the buck.

Pros

It's ease of use in the field

Cons

It's limited capabilities.

### "Plan Grid"

October 22, 2019

4.0

Plan Distribution is simpler. As more subcontractors adopt the app this gets better as well. Updating plans and keeping a current set is great.

Pros

Punchlist process on the app is nice. Easy way to keep track of all of the issues remaining. Can easily sort for different groups or items.

Cons

The Scaling and Markup tools are not the most effective or accurate. Company still used Adobe or Bluebeam to do markups.

### "Progressive Design/Build "

January 31, 2017

4.0

We have been using BIM360 Glue to review and collaborate as we work through design iterations. There have been multiple times where a design model is posted on BIM360 with content that is obsolete and needs to be removed. Since someone added the model(s) in question to a merged model, they cannot be deleted. It would be really nice to have an option to select the model and see a list of the merged model that that model is connected to.

Pros

The ability to use both Navisworks Manage tools as well as the BIM360 tools to review, share and collaborate on resolution options.

Cons

When we zoom out to see the entire project and the gridlines are turned on, it is hard to see the model.

Pros

Este programa es muy útil y fácil de usar, para todos los ingenieros o arquitectos decirles que es indispensable tener este programa en su PC

### "BIM 360"

January 11, 2019

4.0

I am a subcontractor working on several projects that require use of BIM 360 on the GC's hosted account. I have done some very brief testing with BIM 360 docs.

Pros

I like the ability to quickly and easily create multiple merged models that can be stored in the cloud and easily sorted in a sensible manner.

Cons

I don't like the lack of connective functionality between Navisworks and Glue.

### "Construction field use"

February 28, 2018

5.0

It was a great way to collaborate with the subcontractors and owners. It also was great to have a platform that allowed for the model to be viewed in.

Pros

I used it in the field on a job with a lot of QC responsibilities. I liked how I was able to send emails to contractors of punchlist items. We also utilized the BIM 360 Glue software and we were able to use the model to navigate the building. That was my favorite feature.

Cons

The software required you to push a lot of buttons. I don't know how to make it better but the amount of buttons you had to push to navigate to the different pages were hard to remember. It also was really easy for Architects/Owners to add punchlist items...

### "A "must have" for your construction project."

November 7, 2018

5.0

Our experience has been very pleasant. The technical support team is very committed to get your organization going with Plan Grid and they will even come to your workplace and give your employees training. The feedback given to the Plan Grid team has been accepted and actually some features implemented.

Pros

The connectivity between the field and office is a must nowadays. You can stay connected with your crew real time. The organization tools and field reports helps a lot. Going paperless have helped reduce costs in office supplies. Your RFI's and Job Reports will look so much more professional and very detailed.

Cons

There are issues between platforms that are slowly being resolved. Updates come out on Apple devices first which makes it kind of difficult to use if you have multiple platforms in the field like Surface Pros or Windows PC's. We found that our field works best with Apple and Estimators and Managers use laptops or Surface tablets.

### "Plangrid is the best tool on the job"

March 8, 2019

5.0

it helps my team and I stay on the same page and updated to the minute with all information we need day to day.

Pros

This software is the best tool on the job. Saves time and energy being able to walk the job with the blueprints at your fingertips. all subbmittles and documents in one app makes it easier to find what you need on the go.

Cons

I wish the app for android devices was user friendly like the apple app.

### "Plangrid Review"

November 7, 2018

4.0

We are using Plangrid to communicate with our field guys. They use the app to report items that the engineers need to address (such as repairs). The engineers will use the comments section to respond with the approprieate repairs.

Pros

\*Being able to place Task items on the drawings directly, and seeing a preview of the Task location in the Plangrid report. \*Plangrid reports are really great for punch lists.

Cons

\*Pictures are too small on Plangrid reports \*It takes too many clicks to get to the Task list \*It's frustrating when it opens up new tabs

January 23, 2023

I personally enjoy using this software maybe i am master's student so i can find it to easy to use but the interface is too user friendly. So would highly recommend this software to everyone.

Pros

I mostly like about this software is the accessibility, anyone with proper connection can access from anywhere. it help us keep updated and user friendly.

Cons

I usually don't find any draw back in this software. it might lack in few things like AI but as it says it day will come when everything will be AI.

### "My most used construction app."

July 10, 2016

5.0

For those familiar with standard user interfaces PlanGrid is very easy to pick up. It was recommended to me by the lead architect on our project and I'm very happy she did so. It was made immediately useful by allowing me to quickly upload my drawing set and begin making punch lists for the construction project I was overseeing.

Pros

One of my biggest time sinks is formatting reports so once I found out that this app formats them for you I was immediately hooked. The default format is very logical and simple to read and for that I am eternally grateful. No more messing with strange Word formatting procedure for this guy. The collection of photos and being able to mark them up instantly is wonderful. It is great for punch lists as well as cataloging existing conditions. Simply being able to note where the photo is taken is excellent. The myriad of additional mark up tools is fairly standard but very necessary and also well done. Without them this tool would not feel complete or flexible.

Cons

Initially it was difficult for me to find out how to download the remainder of my photos. They are kept in a folder on your device that I haven't found a quick way to get out without another app like Astro File Manager (another great app for those of you looking for better folder access). If there was an option to include a list of photos and there locations on the reports that would be very helpful for existing conditions. It's just slightly quicker that making punch list items for each photo taken. I haven't used the app for a few months since I've been on other projects so I apologize if this has been added.

### "Bim 360 from QA perspective"

April 7, 2017

3.0

\-The web browser is s l o w . -It is time consuming to several select floors and plans. Have to wait 10 sec Before I select. Otherwise the select box just disappears and I have to start all over. -Have not found a way to select same floor but in several buildings. I have to select each combination separately - with the above delays.

Pros

The ease of use (for production & contractors) and their accessibility. (Which product are we talking about? Bim360 or your questionnaire?? My answers are for Bim 360)

Cons

The real difficulties of use (for QA) and his accessibility. It's really difficult and time consuming to do summaries. For example to see what's left to do for several buildings but on the same level. Or for a shafts for example. The system is s l o w, at least in our huge project.
