### "Work well in keeping everyone on the job site informed. Easy to access RFI information. "

May 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

Let's me keep up with all the jobs information in one place. Easy to submit Request for Information, keep up with issue and view the latest prints. Very good for keeping all my commissioning items in one place.

Cons

Some time hard to find just what you want there is so much information and never have enough time to take a course on how to use.

### "very useful and much better than revit server"

May 9, 2018

4.0

ease of use, don't need new software to use it.

Pros

can collaborate with other firms without complicated workflow. The site is pretty stable and eliminates the need for expensive revit servers at every office doing work on a job. On a large project that can easily be 30 offices.

Cons

if I want to look at someone else model I have to download it first. then it gives me there model and every model they have linked. I JUST wanted a single model. Also, I can not use insert from view with a revit model on BIM 360.

### "Confusing but good"

May 9, 2018

4.0

Streamlining construction operations with 360 Field.

Pros

The integration with Revit, ease of use on the iPad, offline usage.

Cons

The Licensing - Owner has to purchase and hold all licenses for entire AEC team. Many manual Steps to link Revit to Glue to Field. Glue Desktop application does not do everything that the online version does, but the online version requires plug-ins that are difficult to setup and run successfully in a secure environment. Very confusing how everything works together > Glue/Field/Docs/Team. 360 Field Windows version missing simple features that ipad does (ie, searching by multiple authors of issues).

### "PlanGrid Review"

November 12, 2018

4.0

PlanGrid is a great tool for us as a General Contractor for field use.

Pros

The software is Intuitive and easy to work with.

Cons

We Would like to have the ability to invite others and have them download only the sheets that they need. for instance we have a project that has 3000+ sheets and several subcontractors and or employees only need 50-100 of those sheets.

### "BIM 360 Field"

January 31, 2017

5.0

Overall this tool has helped me maximize my productivity on-site for tracking deficiencies for all of our subtrades. I would like to have more control with viewing capabilities for the different users. Also, we have recently been using BIM 360 Field to collect site progress photos which has been working great so far.

Pros

Ability to place pins on a drawing.

Cons

Lack of viewing control (permissions) for different users.

### "Powerful cloud and collaboration tool"

April 4, 2017

4.0

The four main platforms in the suite (Glue, Plan, Docs and Field) are able to manage almost any construction site technical needs, allowing collaboration between the project stakeholders, from trades to the client. The solution is full cloud and user friendly, however there's still a lack in the integration ability between the platforms, for example, documents won't transfer between Docs and Field. Another major downsize is the absence from Android (except for Docs) and smartphones. In the end, the constant development and the intense Autodesk support should cover for these issues.

Pros

Cloud, collaboration ability, easy to use and to learn, possibility to buy separate licences for the BIM 360 tools

Cons

Does not support Android, Smartphones, others languages than English and German

### "Great for issuing reports"

May 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

easy to use in the filed, and great for issuing reports to the owners and the trade contractors. Easy to train people on the iPhone app.

Cons

on the iPad/iPhone app, there is no way to check what checklists have been done. If you have a few people doing inspections, it is hard to know from the field what is and what still needs to be done.

### "It was painful in the beginning, but after more experience it went a lot better."

August 19, 2017

4.0

Beyond the downfalls this software has the potentials for ao much more.

Pros

The version agnostic ability or even software interoperability. It opens the lines of collaboration so much easier.

Cons

The work around processes that have to be made to use the interoperability or agnostic abilities. Better in product operability or exporting would make it better.

### "Great record keeping and site communication device"

January 31, 2017

4.0

The concept is very good allowing all documents to be accessed whilst on site, this makes answering technical queries quicker and more efficient. The ability to record items in the diary and attach photographs is great. raising issues and printing reports makes communication simple

Pros

speed, ease, convenience, peace of mind knowing items are saved on the cloud.

Cons

not being able to click on a drawing and it open up that area to all the other functions. i have to search through the room numbers. having the option to click on a drawing would be much easier.

### "BIM 360: A HELP OR A HINDRANCE?"

January 31, 2017

3.0

I have found the initial training for BIM360 to be a long process and at times it has been difficult to understand the full features of the application and training was not sufficiently explained.

Pros

I like the range of features

Cons

I don't like the difficulty of the software and the lengthy procedure to learn how to use it. I have also had problems with loss of work on the system, and I have had a number of important documents deleted from the system which took a long time to recover and involved extensive messages to BIM360 experts.

### "Survey as a reflection."

January 31, 2017

4.0

While I am a huge fan of the idea of BIM360, I am also living the daily aspects of the product. The BIM360 suite of tools are a critical aspect of our business, and we depend on them everyday. There is also much room for improvement, however slow that progress is...

Pros

Cloud hosted, integrated, single source of truth.

Cons

Functionality, or lack thereof. Significant updates are few and far between.

### "Robust platform with valuable and unique features"

August 8, 2017

4.0

Pros

Integration between the model, drawings and issues provides the most complete picture for users to quickly solve disconnects and problems that occur in the field. The data collected provides valuable metrics for analyzing trends and improving workflows.

Cons

The lack of access to the direct database can be frustrating when additional metrics and/or data manipulation is desired. Inability to notify and assign issues and checklists to users within a company can slow down the QA/QC process.

### "Plangrid"

March 13, 2019

5.0

The use of this program is above and beyond. To see were this can go is exciting and cant wait to see.

Pros

The ease of use for our field staff to use. This program is setup very easily for the field worker to use at an easy basis. Compared to other programs out there that are more designed to office staff.

Cons

We are ahead of the game to were plangrid is, ad out field staff is looking for more. With that being said that is a con on us for taking things way above ad beyond.

### "My Review for BIM 360 2017"

January 31, 2017

5.0

We use BIM 360 to track quality issues throughout the life of the construction job. We also utilize the BIM 360 to track the punchlist process between our subcontractors, inspectors, and the owner. This product has saved countless hours of coordination between all shareholders in the project.

Pros

Ease of use

Cons

Sometimes the loading speed is slow, but that should be fixable with faster internet connection

### "Plangrid works well for what it is."

March 10, 2018

3.0

I wish I used it for more than just a brief case.

Pros

Sync ability between desktop app, ipads and iphones. Saves me from carrying multiple very heavy Drawings around.

Cons

Take-off/ Measuring Tools lack the convenience of even Adobe Acrobat. Importing of sheets from PDF's puts them out of natural page order. RFI Reporting and Photos is too primitive.

### "Plangrid Review"

November 7, 2018

5.0

I like it very much and use it frequently

Pros

The ease of creating a note, comment, or question on a drawing and sending it off in a snapshot from to ANY recipient and NOT limited to people that have plangird

Cons

If I need to share a page of a drawing it is cumbersome as it shares a LINK to the page (unlike a snapshot that can be forwarded easily)

### "The Use of BIM is Paramount"

February 1, 2017

5.0

I use BIM 360 software daily for my job. It is the one platform where I can create daily reports, capture progress photos, and create detailed issues for subcontractors to address in a timely manner in order for the project to proceed as intended.

Pros

I like that I can take a picture of an issue that needs to be resolved, create a detailed description of it, mark the location of it on the contract drawings, and assign accountability for it to a specific subcontractor.

Cons

I wish the photos in my progress reports could be assigned locations because it is difficult to know where certain photos were taken when reviewing photos for specific items in a building with many common features among floors.

### "Organization for the field"

March 6, 2019

5.0

Plan grid is great at keeping all information and updates in one location. It's extremely easy for the guys in the field to pull up the latest version of plans, RFIs, ASIs etc.

Pros

The ease of use. Prior to rolling out the software at our company I was concerned that this would be another cumbersome tool that would require more of my time. The reality is that it is extremely easy to use and is a huge asset.

Cons

Take-off is not great in PlanGrid, we are still using other software for that.

### "I use BIM360 for quality control as a project engineer/ construction manager."

May 24, 2018

4.0

Pros

The mobile app for iPad makes this a great tool for all players involved in quality control-- construction manager, owner, inspector, trade contractors.

Cons

There used to be a signature feature to sign-off on issues. I'm not sure why it has been removed, but I miss it terribly! Signing off on issues in the field was so convenient!

### "BIM 360 Saved Thousands "

January 31, 2017

5.0

The use of VDC has become more and more prevalent in our industry (commercial construction). My latest project nearly elected to not utilize this tool. Come to find the mechincal designer designed 24" x 48" ducts that crossed each other above the lab ceilings. Upon inspection, we only had 15" of total head room above the ceiling. The use of BIM 360 allowed for our designers and subcontractors to redesign the space seamlessly and save countless hours of field coordination and scheduled delays.

Pros

Seamless transition between designers.

Cons

Takes a little time to learn all of the capabilities.

### "Very User Friendly"

August 21, 2017

5.0

Easy data storage for daily tasks.

Pros

It is easy to use. The appearance of the platform is nice. I like how it combines many of my electronic data documentation functions in one location and is compatible with mobile devices.

Cons

Needs more customization modules. It would be nice if more functions were already built into the user platform.
