### "It Works, BUT Still Needs Improvement"

April 5, 2017

3.0

We utilized BIM 360 Field on our most recent high rise project. Pros: Input of issues is fairly easy. Generating reports is easy and clear to decipher. Cons: constant updates, requirement to manually sync all the time, constant issues with sub contractors with the system, very buggy.

### "BIM 360 as CDE"

October 31, 2019

5.0

I started using it for a while. It is really fantastic. You can access your project via your gadget anytime, anywhere.

Pros

BIM 360 is one of the most popular common data environment. It's a web-based app that doesn't need a sophisticated laptop to operate the model

Cons

Even though it is very good and popular, it is very expensive. The minimum required number should be reduced to make it affordable

### "One of the best software to manage your construction projects."

October 16, 2018

4.0

Overall it was a good experience to explorer BIM 360. this was my first construction site which I have explored. but I recommend you to try at least its trial version, it will help you to make proper decision.

Pros

I like very much to work on this, I have just tried the trial period of the application but it has a very much useful function to manage our construction projects. I like some of the below function very much:- 1. Managing hole construction work. 2. Tracking of the project and its streamline. 3. It helps to optimize and organize the project on one stand. 4. We can put quality control and assurance. 5. Manage sefetly inspections.

Cons

I currently evaluating this cloud-based application but I face some of the issue related to the interface like:- 1. It will take much time to upload any doc file to the application. 2. showing the 3D view and other uploaded content showing slower which is sometimes irritate us. personally, I feel on the working on the application is so simple but the field work is different. so somtimes i need more visualization capacity to thing how it will look like it.

August 9, 2017

4.0

Pros

The ease of reporting and data sorting makes this software easy to use. Very adaptable to various projects and users.

Cons

The format on an iPad or tablet is a little more timconsuming. It presents itself differently and it sometime difficult when transitioning from the office to the field.

### "ACC is the only game in town"

October 21, 2022

5.0

Pros

The speed are which documents and models can be shared enabling true collaborative working

Cons

The price is a bit high, this is most likely due there being no alternatives which come close. The field tools are limited.

Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma

Depth and breadth of features

### "Happy sheet metal foreman"

April 12, 2017

4.0

This app has real potential to change the face of construction. I use it on a daily basis to review areas of on going construction in a 5story 180,000 sq' project. It me to coordinate , layout, and installation of large duct work with other trades. We are also using it for our RFI's and Coordination with the contractor running our jobs. Great app I'm expecting big things for it in the future.

Pros

Easy to use. Great visual for field work

Cons

Can get lost on the model. Model will jump unexpectedly. No mark up feature on the model

### "BIM 360 Glue & Field"

January 31, 2017

3.0

BIM 360 Glue is very limited in the way it manages model files with staus and also permission levels for access. BIM 360 Field is generally good and easy to use, but could use some work on sub contractor access and permissions

Pros

ease of use. ease of access.

Cons

ability to properly manage permission levels for access on an individual level

### "Use this software on an everyday basis, works pretty well for the most part."

July 24, 2018

4.0

Able to work.

Pros

It's ease of use is very nice. I would not be able to do my job and do it well without being able to use this software everyday.

Cons

It's very slow sometimes and it will occasionally crash or be down and support is really hard to get a hold of if you are having serious issues.

### "It has been much easier using this because of being able to pin the exact location attached w/ pic"

May 3, 2018

4.0

Pros

The map feature, attatching a pic right with the issues is great. Being able to use it offline and sync later is also very nice. Being able to filter down to the item you need is pretty easy on the online version.

Cons

The app is difficult to get use to. I stumbled a bit trying to figure out the correct levels and all the correct folders that needed to be synced. Also there needs to be a way to not download the model. While that is a nice feature, it takes awhile to get used to the controls and takes up to much space on the ipad. Its possible but much easier to go back to the pc for that.

### "It does a few things good, but is limited beyond that."

May 26, 2017

3.0

It help me enter data and observations during my job. we can use the information for trends, but only for each job. it is hard to run a company across many different jobs.

Pros

Ease of use in field - able to make entries and take pictures real time. It requires no physical connection to download information. It sinks automatically when connected to the internet.

Cons

Inflexibility in running statistics. It has a set number programs and programmers are so technical they do not understand your goal. They too often say, "why would you do that when you can do this?" or "You don't need that. Let me tell you what you want" in a very negative, condescending way .

### " Amazing software couldn’t live without it "

November 9, 2018

5.0

You won’t be disappointed it’s worth every penny

Pros

Amazing software that allows you to track and as built work to a new level. Gone are the dark ages when we use to redline everything. I’ve only scratched the surface of this product in the last two years and every day I find something new that makes my life that much easier to perform my daily work and share with coworkers etc.

Cons

I haven’t found anything that I did not like about the product

### "BIM 360 is a great add-on service from Autodesk"

April 26, 2020

4.0

My experience with BIM 360 has been great, though the cost could be lower for our small company.

Pros

BIM 360 allows us to receive and edit models from other design firms without having to download and upload every time we make minor revisions to the model.

Cons

BIM 360 should be included with all Autodesk BIM subscriptions as it can be a critical element to project teams with several disciplines working out of different firms.

### "I use it everyday."

January 18, 2019

5.0

Now central location to view all projects that you are involved in. Having everything in your hand on the job is a time saver

Pros

Plangrid is easy and has a low learning curve. The submittals feature is awesome and so is the daily report function.

Cons

Plangrid still has some quirks but the good far outwieghts the bad.

### "PlanGrid always comes through"

July 12, 2016

5.0

PlanGrid makes the field management of project management seamless, easy to use, and it paints a complete picture of where we stand on the project at all times!

Pros

Ease of Use! Superintendents (even our least tech-savvy ones) use PlanGrid and are comfortable with it. It is intuitive, well laid-out, and easy to navigate.

### "PlanGrid Review"

February 7, 2020

5.0

PlanGrid allows you to share drawings with everyone on your team so you all are working on the most current set of documents.

Pros

Being able to view the documents on an ipad is great. It makes reviewing drawing very efficient. The hyperlinks also make it very easy to jump from a plan to the details.

Cons

If you have an account with limited sheets it can make viewing multiple projects more difficult. You may need to shift things around to fit within your sheet limit.

### "Necessary for clash detection"

January 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

Sure, there are ways around it, but BIM 360 is an essential software for clash coordination.

Cons

It can be quite expensive, but you can get it on a monthly basis.

### "Great software to organize your project"

April 8, 2017

4.0

The software is great to help organize your construction project. What are you decide to use it for RFIs, Submittals, QAQC, Issue tracking, Tasking out Responsibilities, or something else, this software is highly customizable to each companies use.

Pros

Customizable, Easy Use, iPad App

Cons

Reporting needs some work to make it more customizable

### "Best Digital Building Modeling Software"

December 9, 2019

5.0

Modelling. Recently we used for a museum project where we had a complex design.

Pros

Complex design building like museum and metro station are hard to understand and execute but if the BIM model is produced perfectly then no worries at all. I think this software should be implemented at national level to keep and produce the systematic design and execution.

Cons

It needs to be more user friendly like Autocad and other software. There are many feature that are not easily understandable for mass.

July 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

Probably the simplest yet functional construction related software I have ever used. The links within the drawing set is very useful.

Cons

There is no integration so far for me, So it needs extra input from me to have it input into our software

### "BIM 360 is an excellent concept but it has a ways to go. "

August 8, 2017

4.0

All members of the coordination team are able to see updates in real time. There are no excuses for accountability as each member can see updates and issues as soon as they are synced.

Pros

I like the real time updates that everyone can see. It also works quite smoothly on an ipad which makes it very useful in the field.

Cons

Glue lags behind Navisworks in speed and robustness. The features are not quite as sharp as Navis. The integration between Glue and Field could be better.

### "BIM360 Field Review"

February 15, 2017

2.0

It's a good idea, but poor execution. The program is slow, at best, when it does work. It doesn't seem very intuitive from a construction management stand point. I frequently have trouble attaching files and the more information attached tends to bog down the system. Information is frequently overwritten when multiple users sync their devices.

Pros

The program does a fairly good job of tracking & reporting our equipment installation progress but I've recently learned that the reports may not be 100% accurate for some reason. This may be user error, still investigating.

Cons

It's just not as user friendly as some other similar programs on the market such as Procore.

### "RJ Mechanical Review of Product"

January 18, 2019

4.0

It's been good so far, we are fairly new to using plan grid.

Pros

I like the ease of being able to update and upload the latest and greatest plans. And it is also nice that you can scroll back to an older set of drawings and then forward to see the newest, makes it easy to compare what's changed.

Cons

Not being able to snap to walls or grid lines and pull measurements. Unless I'm missing something in the program we have I can't pull measurements.

### "Very useful for complicated areas to coordinate in"

May 4, 2018

4.0

The level of detail helped us significantly in created accurate pre-fabrication drawings.

Pros

I like how detailed the cloud point scan features can be with this program. We used a 360 scanner to model a very complicated boiler room space so we were able to create accurate enough drawings to pre-fabricate our piping.

Cons

It can be a very complicated process to translate the point cloud data to a model. Additionally, the model created for Revit was made of individual generic pieces, so there was no way to edit whole existing system runs, you have to go piece by piece.

### "Always up-to-date"

January 31, 2017

4.0

With the model being cloud based, all parties are able to upload daily, so the model is always current. To me this is the best feature of BIM 360. This makes multi-trade coordination and design assist projects much easier to manage.

Pros

Constantly up to date, reflecting daily revisions by all parties

Cons

Can be pretty slow sometimes.

### "Superintendent"

February 10, 2017

3.0

On a smaller type project where you only have one or two QC personal working to author deficiencies/work to be completed in the system alone, it may work fine. The problem I see on the system is when you have a multitude of personal authoring items during initial inspections instead. On the current project, between the multitude of superintendent, assistant superintendents, and PE's that are using the system to for QC lists, when it comes time to close out items after such as been completed/brought up to spec standard, its the author that generated the item(s) in the first place, that is only allowed to close out an item alone. Simply, this has too many personal having to close out items, instead of allowing higher level staff members that may completing the re-inspections of the work to close the item out instead (have the final call). So even with say a superintendent ( and even an admin on the system), not able to close out items when completing re-inspections themselves, and now having to track the down the original author to have them close out a item instead. Simply, there needs to be a level setting for rights/privileges in the system for closing out items, that will allow senior staff the ability to close out items (generated by other authors) as they are re-inspecting the work themselves, and not created extra work load on site to track down the original author to close out the item(s) instead.
