### "Quick & Accurate Takeoffs"

December 12, 2018

5.0

Overall PlanGrid is a great tool. In terms of ease of use, its is one of the best products available. I would recommend PlanGrid to anyone looking for a simple platform to perform onsite takeoffs.

Pros

PlanGrid is an awesome tool for quick takeoffs. The takeoff feature is especially good for guys using tablets in the field.

Cons

PlanGrid allows for batch uploads of construction documents, however the automatic hyperlink function isn't as good as some of its competitors.

### "Glue for collaboration"

April 8, 2017

2.0

Glue is an easy to use product for reviewing the design in BIM. The interface is great and also sharing files is easy. Looking at functionality's as searching, clashing and versionscontrole it's still immature. This functions dealing with bad performance and are not flexible to setup. For first people that are starting with glue it would be nice that the user options (settings like graphics, cache mb, transperancy) is controlled by an adminastror. Now the first impression is bad. At least it would be nice to improve the markup function. For it's easy to create, but how tho share is to hard. Selecting people one by one in a big list is not working. Also not seeing the overview of more markups is still a big issue and the reason that people use PDF editors to reviewing the design.

Pros

Easy to use, on demand

Cons

On demand

### "Amazing software for architects and designers"

June 1, 2019

4.0

Used it for modelling buildings and finding clashes in services which helped reduce cost

Pros

The ease of use and the functionality it delivers is amazing. Can help reduce actual problems on site during construction.

Cons

Tough to understand since its a complex software which can be simplified

### "Plangrid details the information on the plans quite well"

July 28, 2019

4.0

When it comes to managing construction plans, the best thing to do is to use plangrid, which stores them in the cloud after scanning them, so as not to suffer loss of information due to extraordinary situations.

Pros

Plangrid is a good service to include a large number of workers to construction sites. The platform is responsible for managing contracts, and storing plans and contact information completely in the cloud.

Cons

Plangrid has a function to add hyperlinks within the planes, so that they lead directly to another plane. This system is very uncomfortable, and tends to make the platform collapse, so it is useless.

### "Great Tool"

April 10, 2017

4.0

BIM 360 is easy to use and powerful enough to get the job done whether it's for your project punch list or tracking tool for safety, quality, and action items. I enjoy the feature of scheduling automatic notices to contacts for each company to remind them of items not completed including all the information they need to locate the item and know exactly what the expectation is to repair. I also enjoy the photos capability which is useful for safety items which need attention. You just snap a photo of the area or item needing attention and the email is sent to the appropriate parties. This tool has made it much easier to close out projects.

Pros

I like the ability to have automatic email notifications to various contractors.

Cons

I would like for their to be more mark up tools to use on photos.

### "PlanGrid for General Contractors"

March 7, 2019

5.0

I had a very good experience. The Support team was amazing at answering questions. I utilized the Chat very often and always got a fast response.

Pros

I liked that everything can be stored in one place. It was great to have version control on all the drawings and being able to send a link to the drawings via email.

Cons

Exporting the Project for closeout was not as clean as I had initially thought it would be. It would be nice if it packaged up into folders lie it is organized on the website.

### "The New All-in-One Construction Platform"

March 5, 2019

5.0

It has definitely made my job easier both on the field and during close out.

Pros

I like that you can do everything you would do on paper but now electronically. The user interface is extremely intuitive and I often forget I am writing on my iPad. Another great feature that I really enjoy is the tasks feature. This software is more than simply a plan viewer, but a crucial project management task app.

Cons

I don't like that the emojis don't transfer when the plans are uploaded as pdf. And I also don't like how some of the lines drawn with the line tool become so think when uploaded to pdf.

### "Not My Favorite"

May 2, 2019

3.0

Pros

One good thing about BIM 360 is being able to give access to the projects to anyone with an account. You can access the files from anywhere.

Cons

We typically deal with multiple large models, We also typically use Revit worksharing so we have multiple people in the projects. BIM 360 is much slower compared to other services I have used. It is also difficult to use with windows file explorer, you have to actually log in online to delete or rename files.

### "BIM 360 Project Issues Log"

May 26, 2020

4.0

BIM 360 has been a helpful tool for its application with daily issues logs. It is easy to use and it provides different ways of filtering the data which is helpful. I would recommend it to other construction professionals.

Pros

I use BIM 360 as a team member on a construction project. As a Commissioning agent we add site observations to the project issues log. The project team then responds to their assigned issues. BIM 360 has been easy to use for this application and to specifically assign the type of issue, the responsibility and resolution of each issue. It has been helpful for filtering the issues log down to the person who created the issue, the type of issue or the responsible party. The issues log can be uploaded as an Excel spreadsheet to print out or manipulate data. Overall, it was easy to use as a daily tool.

Cons

I did not find any major problems with this software. Once I was able to upload the Excel version of the log it was easy to manipulate the data for printing out a hard copy.

### "PlanGrid is Amazing!!"

November 7, 2018

5.0

I am a HVAC Draftsman and I could not image not using PlanGrid on a project. It sits right in front of me on my IPAD while I am drawing in Revit & CAD. I will use it on average 4-6 hours a day! I use it to talk to the field foreman about drawing s that I have made and that they are installing. NO more paper to fumble through, everything is right in the palm of their hands!

Pros

The ease of moving around the drawings. Swipe left, swipe right zoom in and out with ease.

Cons

I don't like the update icons from about a year ago after the update but I'm sure I will get used to them.

### "Use BIM360 primarily for punchlist and Glue."

April 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easily accessed across platforms (phone/tablet/computer). The entire autodesk suite allows us to upload drawing sets, 3D models, and any other relevant documents, review and comment in the field, and then compile and disseminate those comments in the office. Great tool for construction professionals.

Cons

Can take a little while to become proficient in the software. There is a learning curve. One benefit is that there are plenty of tutorials available online to shorten this process.

### "Time-Saving Asset!"

December 11, 2015

5.0

Pros: -All of your drawings in one place on an easy to carry mobile device. -Drawings open lightening fast! No need to use a VPN to log into a company server. -Easy to upload/update sets of drawings. -Keeps everyone on a full current set with access to older versions. -Allows you to quickly mark up changes or notes and share if you like. -Great place to keep RFI's or other field directives, can be easily linked to a sheet so your field team knows when they look at a particular sheet that something has changed on that plan and to reference the RFI. -Control over who can edit or mark up sheets within the program. -Ability to snap pictures and indicate on the drawings where that picture is taken. -Downloadable As-Built set. -Auto hyperlinking of details, cut thrus, and drawing index. Cons: -Inability to set your own RFI numbers. -Inability to upload your own RFI form/format. - $59/mo/user is a steep price for a subcontractor to pay just to view current plans. - Can't copy/paste links on sheets. i.e. If I have an RFI that I want to link to multiple locations within a set of drawings I have to create an individual link for each location. If I could simply copy and paste one link/note it would save so much time. -A comment bubble with an arrow would be useful. -When reviewing a sheet on a PC with photos when you click the photo all you can view is a thumbnail. Would be nice to be able to click that thumbnail, it enlarge and be able to click through any other photos on that same photo tag. Overall it's the best document control software I've seen. It's user friendly and worth the subscription fee to keep your project current. Ultimately it saves valuable time and money.

### "BIM 360 Review"

January 4, 2019

3.0

Pros

Ease of use for the field personnel as far as the app functions on iPads. Able to have updated info to the field in nearly real-time.

Cons

When you create a new project by copying an existing template, the library contents (folder & file setup) will not transfer/copy over to the new job. Also would like more options and variability in the security settings as far as who can see and do what. The setting differences between Owner, Contractor, Subcontractor, etc are too minor.

### "I work with BIM 360 on multiple construction coordination projects."

January 11, 2018

4.0

Being able to work remote while still having all of the most up to date model information

Pros

It allows the construction team to have a live up to date model that everyone can look at all in one place.

Cons

Large files can take long to load, lag when turning on and off layers, and doesnt allow to update the model in the actual software. You have to go back to the host software in order to update the model for a specific trade.

### "An essential tool"

November 7, 2018

4.0

Overall the experience has been very good, your app developers listen to how their product is being utilized in the field and I personally appreciate that. It has become an essential tool for me.

Pros

the electronic functionality allows me to review and distribute information quickly, the snapshot feature allows me to sends changes to foremen in the field when I receive it

Cons

the issues function in the software has always been problematic for me, I understand that has been modified and have not used the new task function yet

### "Plangrid"

September 21, 2017

5.0

partnership with Esub is good - build on getting more into that program as well.

Pros

ease of use- field has taken full use of this app - I have never seen the field accept an app like this. they like it because it is user friendly. customer service has been excellent. app is fast and reliable. ROI is hard to establish, but I know we are saving time..

Cons

the price as a company would be something to look at - If I have 400 people using, I would probably not want to pay that much per person per year.

### "BIM 360 is the ONLY software for professional architecture"

May 21, 2020

4.0

It is powerful and essential in architecture design.

Pros

It is incredibly powerful, and offers a feature set that is constantly expanding. We utilize this every day within our office. Our workflow was greatly altered wit the introduction of BIM 360.

Cons

I feel that there is a lot that could be improved, it is fairly code heavy product, that bogs it down a bit. The subscription model, while we understand the move, makes it a long term cost to absorb.

### "As a product line it is very difficult to afford the software as a small business. "

May 3, 2018

3.0

Currently Clash Detection is the only feasible product besides 360 Docs. There needs to be much more development on the 360 PM side in order to fully transition the whole team.

Pros

Future possibilities of Forge development and cross platform customized functionalities. Looking forward to using modules such as Field and Clash Detection withing the same model environment.

Cons

Cost / Slow Development - Input going into the software does not incorporate users that actually have field applications in large environments.

### "I love having all my construction documents in a single place. "

August 8, 2017

5.0

It has allowed me to track ongoing issues, have a single point of document management, and a way to share documents with subcontractors.

Pros

Easy to navigate. Easy to educate subcontractors and share documents. This program is very usable and allows me as a user to upload documents with ease.

Cons

I wish I could open multiple drawings and compare to each other. Recently I have had issues seeing the markups on the drawings that we have uploaded to the web version but the markups don't show up on the iPad.

### "Overview review of plangrid"

January 18, 2019

5.0

excellent experience, and I would recommend to colleagues.

Pros

It makes my job easier. I don't have to spend time compiling reports or finding drawings.

Cons

The annotation functionality needs some additional tools added, its pretty basic. The exporting of PDFs and snapshots should be compatible with email other then the native email on device, currently it only prompts for outlook on the device to send items. Layering of markups and GPS marking and tracking of photos needs a bit of work.

### "An Inexpensive Plan Tool"

March 13, 2019

5.0

The plans seem to be changing a lot during the construction process. I need to get the current set of drawings to my guys as soon as the changes hit my computer in the office. I can upload them to the field in minutes. I am no longer spending thousands of dollars in reprinting plan sheets and my guys have them right in front of their eyes as they are building the project right away.

Pros

I like this program because it is easy to use and it works to get the plans to my guys in the field in real time.

Cons

There are some repetitious steps that I wish I did not have to do each time I set up a project.
