### " powerful construction management software "

February 3, 2023

5.0

The team works better since using the tool. Not only the team, but significantly reduced production time

Pros

Excellent tool to keep teams organized and control budgets and project data from inception to completion.

Cons

Reliance on a cloud environment is significantly beneficial for the tool's performance, but the network infrastructure must be of high quality. There is a little difficulty in learning to use all the resources. But solving these parts is an excellent tool.

### "Very useful on the job site. Punch list would not be the same without it"

May 3, 2018

5.0

Punch list becomes way easier and quicker when it's in a computer system that everyone can view. It holds everyone accountable.

Pros

I can manage numerous reports/issues in the program all at once. I'm able to sort things however I want, which makes it easier and quicker to use.

Cons

The navigation can be finicky at times and when it takes awhile to close issues when there are numerous attachments because the load times aren't the quickest. My biggest gripe is that the app doesn't allow for flash photography on either of my devices (iPhone and iPad).

### "Best Software Out There"

March 5, 2019

5.0

Plangrid has been excellent to deal with. In our company, we began with just the electrical division but the use of the software has quickly expanded to all divisions of the company. Plangrid came out and trained everyone so the initial start up was a piece of cake.

Pros

The ease of use for all of our employees no matter their technological skill level.

Cons

Uploading the initial drawings and tagging takes an extended length of time.

### "On its way!"

December 18, 2015

3.5

Pros

Buzzsaw is very easy to use and has an easy to understand interface. It requires very little training for new users to understand, and allows you to coordinate and monitor multiple large projects(in my case, 11 projects all in excess of $50MM) Buzzsaw gets the job done.

Cons

Definitely need a lot of work on the mobile side of things. Their mobile apps leave a lot of critical features off, and this really bothers me. Additionally, because of the design, you have to use a windows based computer with IE to access full functionality. As a Mac user, I had to buy a second laptop just to use Buzzsaw.

### "Sheet Order to Match Sheet Index"

April 11, 2017

3.0

The drawing order on BIM360 is alphabetically. It would be nice if somehow the order of the drawings are in the order listed on the sheet index. However, I like that and can type the sheet number in the search box and hyperlink. I like BIM360 better than CMIC for uploading documents.

Pros

The new library layout is way more user friendly. The site is very easy to use.

Cons

I wish it can automatically hyperlink and place the order of the drawings as shown on the sheet index.

5.0

We have greatly reduced rework and are for more consistently providing important information to ALL team members.

Pros

Very easy to use and easily accessible by All project team members. Streamlined communication to ALL team members on so many levels Created a level of team consistency I have been after for years.

Cons

Outward communication for non licences team members require additional steps

### "BIM360 use between Contractors, Architects, Owners"

January 31, 2017

4.0

Overall BIM 360 is a great tool for communication between Architects, Owners, and Contractors. It maintains a transparent approach to solving issues on job sites. If the owner or architect notices something that needs our, the general contractor, attention, they can point it out to a rolling punch list kind of forum. It helps the contractor stay on top of issues. Some of the navigation within the software could be easier to use. It's also a little frustrating that some of the setup to add companies has to be done from a computer and not on a tablet. Also when viewing the model, I have to download everything when I have access to WIFI before going to a job site, and when you sync you can't do it unless you have a device with internet service. We had an architect doing CA for an out of town company and getting the photos to be shared was tricky at first. The out of town architect wanted weekly photo updates to see what was going on, and there is a hidden special access that we had to find in order to get it to share easier.

Pros

Rolling punch list to address issues raised by Contractors or Owners.

Cons

Not as user-friendly as I'd like.

### "One stop shop"

March 7, 2019

4.0

Saves time with sharing information between salesman, project manager, and foreman.

Pros

I love how easy it is to have everything I need in one place. From field reports to rfi to bid packages. You can set up quick links to submittals or other documents. It’s very easy to use the tutorials and understand how to maximize the software.

Cons

Sometimes hard to get a WiFi signal on job sites.

### "User-Friendly Document Control Software"

November 7, 2018

4.0

Pros

The filter feature is such an efficient way to flip through the sheets that you actually need - I can't even tell you how many countless times I've used it, as it constantly remains open every time I open Plangrid. No more flipping through different sets of drawings!

Cons

I'm not sure if there is a feature out there yet, but I wish that the sheets were organized as they were meant to be on the sheet index of a set of drawings (vs. alphabetical). That way, if I were to download a complete set of updated drawings, they would be in the correct sheet order.

### "Bim 360 Review"

January 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love that it works for all of the different trades and it is easy and efficient for us to work together and complete a project. But what I like most is that my foremen out in the field can access the Bim 360 on their I pad and view the 3D model. That has tremendously helped in so many ways!

Cons

I don't have any cons as of right now. The Bim software is constantly improving itself with new updates.

### "I use BIM 360 since the General Contractor for our project wanted to start using it."

August 8, 2017

4.0

Pros

I like the file sharing abilities and the version history to keep track of everyone's changes. I also like that everything can be in one share server for a job (pdfs and models), so everyone can stay on track with project changes.

Cons

I don't like that you can't remove some file even after it is removed from a model. And I do not like using it as a Navis viewer. It is not as smooth as actual Navis.

### "Just a start"

April 7, 2017

2.0

The BIM360 product range is disjointed making it impracticable as a suite. As single components none are able to support a project. We look forward to it becoming more coherent. It should be noted that recent trends in pricing are making the product in affordable compared to other systems.

Pros

Intuitive interface, good viewing capability

Cons

To weak to use on significant projects, build for SMEs. No integration between products. Poor account management functionality.

### "Best construction app ever invented "

April 12, 2019

5.0

Exceptional

Pros

I love everything about this app from being able to hyperlink drawings, assigning Task, creating Punch list. And love that you can track loose ends. This is a must have in the fast pace world of commercial construction today. If you are not using it you are behind.

Cons

Nothing bad to say ,the app is great everyone in construction needs to be using it.

la integracion,

Pros

Es una solución que permite la integración de proyectos con el área de preventa, convirtiéndose en una solución efectiva para construcción de RFI´s, permitiendo dejar una trazabilidad posterior al área de operaciones.

Cons

Aun no se ha explorado la totalidad de las funcionalidades, es muy amplio.

### "SO Helpful! (but still needs adjustments)"

December 2, 2015

4.5

Pros

When the chat option is available on their website, they respond VERY promptly. This is HUGE! Also, the interface and functionality of the punch aspect is invaluable.

Cons

I am PRAYING for the day when the tablet interface can be filtered in a manner that is reasonable for all users. For example, if I want to only see items with a specific punch code on a sheet (i.e. when I walk into a room and want to see the Mechanical items), I want it to filter to that punch code. I am probably inadequately describing the issue, but I expect that the fine folks at Plangrid will rectify this soon.

### "Plan Grid Review"

September 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

The feature that I liked most about PlanGrid is the ability to update construction documents when design updates have been issued. It allows you to store and update all of your construction documents all in one place.

Cons

The con that I have with PlanGrid is the product is not as intuitive as it seems. To update documents you need to go on the website rather than update straight through the app.

### "Great Coordination Tool"

July 13, 2017

5.0

Very easy for coordinating with Architects, Engineers, modelers and foreman. With little to no training guys out in the field who are not as tech savvy can pick up a tablet and maneuver about the model and find exactly what they're looking for.

Pros

The graphics are clean and sectioning is fairly fast and smooth... not much lag or graphic distortion. The option to save viewpoints is much easier to use than other coordination products such as Navisworks.

Cons

Very poor clash detection interface. Nearly impossible to navigate without a mouse (if you're a foreman in the field using an IPad or tablet).

### "A great Cloud Tool"

November 3, 2016

3.0

I have been working with this software for a couple of years, it has been agreat improvement of Autodesk services.

Pros

Collaboration, I like how BIM 360 integrate the whole design team to share and review information graphically, accessible by many devices and from everywhere based on internet connectivity.

Cons

It requires some time getting use for the team members to get knowledge of the workflows and features of the site.

### "Very Robust construction management software"

July 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

The fact that it is web based makes everything sync so much better than most of your on premisis solutions. It really makes communication between office personnel and field personnel so much easier. It really seemed to make the communication channels easier

Cons

Now the cost can be prohibitive but that is the same with almost every other construction management software. Most general contractors are in such a small niche that finding good inexpensive software is hard.

### "LOVE THIS SOFTWARE"

February 10, 2017

5.0

So started at construction company about 6 months ago and we are a 100% in on the 360 software. we use all Glue and Field on a daily basis. I find the software to be really easy to use and fun to teach . Keep up the good work.

Pros

they all work together more or less seamlessly

Cons

Glue inst as powerful as navisworks. there are some really frustrtaing and basic things navis can do that glue cannot. Field need to be more room for customization.

### "Communication is the root of Success and PlanGrid is a Great Communication Tool"

March 6, 2019

4.0

Sharing the scope and progress of multiple projects becomes much easier with PlanGrid. Everyone is always up to date on the latest information. It is hard enough to keep up with multiple projects without having to search for information and track people down. With Plan Grid, you fill out progress reports, add and assign tasks, take a picture and add it to a print or a document, update prints, etc. All in one place and everyone has the latest issue. Great Tool.

Pros

This software allows sharing of information across all involved in a project including internal and external resources, outside contractors, even Upper management who are not engineers and not familiar with construction procedures or nomenclature. The ability to add pictures and tasks exactly on the drawings where the issue or task is located makes this a great tool

Cons

There are some differences in the IPad app vs the computer app that are hard to understand. It could be a bit more intuitive

### "Great quality/punch/worklist issue tracking tool and daily report tracker."

August 8, 2017

5.0

Pros

Auto sync daily reports and weather came in very handy. I used "issues" and "daily updates" every day. I did punch list and daily work list on issues with filtered reports.

Cons

Useless functions like tasks and equipment. At times the program would freeze up and I had to restart it. I would make updates and when the someone else syncs it goes back to the status of the previous users status.
