### "Bin 360 review Two Rivers Utilities"

January 31, 2017

5.0

We are in the middle of upgrading an existing Surface Water Treatment Plant. Parts of this plant date back to 1922. We have never had a complete set of "as built" drawings and the drawings that we have are inaccurate. For the last 30 plus years the plant has had an oral history so to speak. Each person had to learn what was in the ground and on site by working from the memory of a senior employee. We invested in the process of data collection from existing drawings, digital scans, ground penetrating radar and often some personal investigation to put together a three dimensional model of our plant. We are using BIM 360 to coordinate between all the parties involved with the project. What used to take days or hours of meetings and sometimes a soft dig approach, now can be handled at a minutes notice using an Ipad. Everything from subcontractors to project engineers, all parties benefit from the model and being able to use BIM 360 to share the information. It is extremely helpful to "see" what is in the work zone. BIM 360 is and will be a powerful training tool for future employees. Being able to document and have visual representation of the progress of our project will help explain the history of our plant. This information will be priceless to future employees. Its hard to believe how far we have come in such a short time.

### "BIM 360 Review"

February 10, 2017

3.0

A good software. A little cumbersome at times. I wish the daily report module had more entries or options. There are items I want to capture that the module does nit support.

Pros

It is aging ground with the subcontractors.

Cons

Very cumbersome.

### "This has helped our BIM service development and collaboration"

February 29, 2020

5.0

BIM 360 has helped us develop our modelling services from 2D CAD to 3D.

Pros

Using BIM 360 Team allows us to collaborate models with architects and other engineers from varying disciplines so we can coordinate potential conflicts in our design.

Cons

The mobile application on Android crashes frequently with larger files. It doesn't seem to plague the Apple version of the software.

### "Plangrid helps our team stay focused "

April 13, 2019

4.0

Pros

Knowing our team is looking at the current plans and can see each others comments, notes and markups in any given page is key for communication.

Cons

Some functionality can be difficult to navigate. And constant program updates can be annoying. Also I find when viewing pdf documents in plangrid while online often crashes the program and I have to restart.

### "BIM 360 Glue"

February 10, 2017

4.0

My review is tailored more towards Glue. I wish it had a feature to see origin points & 2D gridlines (other than the ones that come through in an nwc). Overall though, Glue has been a great asset for our subcontractors and ourselves to keep current on all models as we go through the construction of the building. Being able to access the model in it's most current state is essential.

Pros

Real time models

Cons

Wont' show origin points or 2D gridlines

Excellent product it can be slow at times but it is expected for a cloud based product. It is a perfect solution for multiple disiplenes to coordinate with one and other.

### "have some useful functions but some basic function is not working well still"

January 7, 2019

4.0

Pros

Easy to set up a project on BIM360; Have collabration functionality with Revit and Plant 3D; have the desktop add - desktop connector;

Cons

Some basic function is not perform well, i.e. moving the files from one place to the other, if there are a lots of folders, the list is not scollable, and the "move" button is not shown; Getting back to older version of files is difficult, too much steps and not able to do this task in bulk; not able to tell what files are published or not published in BIM360 interface; viewer is pretty slow when loading the files; collabration for Plant 3D is pretty slow and have lagging for at least 40 sec from Australia and slow down Plant 3D project; and more...

### "Next Gen BIM "

June 20, 2018

4.0

this is an amazing next-gen tool that work on cloud and let you have access to a full model navigation , it will depend on how many details you put to the revit model , BIM 360 will show and make you able to share it with a link.

Pros

you will have a digital Marquette , takeoff , views and navigation , you can take measures and keep track off new files versions , the best is that it works on the cloud so every partner connected to a network device will have access to the model .

Cons

this really doesn't have any cons , it is being further developed because it is a new relatively new software , but being able to make use of this amazing cloud Marquette and model visualization is some to be grateful , maybe it can be improved on the open gl graphics.

### "BIM 360 Team has resulted is improved productivity for our team"

4.0

Pros

Since we deployed BIM 360 Team, our internal productivity has improved considerably. The ability to view and edit drawing files in real-time with other team members reduces questions and confusion.

Cons

Our field reviewers have noted that the mobile app crashes fairly frequently and the interface could be updated.

### "Bim 360 field use"

April 10, 2017

4.0

This is the first time using this software. At first glance I thought it may a bit difficult to use, but as I began to play with the many features bim 360 has to offer I suddenly realized it isn't as hard as I thought. I would definitely recommend it d this software to anyone.

Pros

Being able to pin items to specific trades.

Cons

Can't create a spreadsheet for issues created during a project to be used as a punch list.

### "Great for QC - But Lacks Ease of Drawing and Markup"

January 31, 2017

4.0

Great tool for the Checklists and viewing the models. While i am sure you hate to hear it, but PLangrid has great navigation and markup features that are easier to use. BIM 360 drawing viewing capability lacks a Recent function so i can go back and forth to one that was just open. Also, the ability to master comments, markup and pin photos is MUCH easier. The ability to run a punch report is the most compelling reason i like using plangrid. I use that function for Preconstruction drawing comments and create bid packages with ease. If ANYTHING, BIM 360 needs to upgrade it sketching capability and drawing navigation.

Pros

Checklists

Cons

Drawing Navigation and Sketching capabilities

January 21, 2019

The initial switch like any was slow to take hold but since then it has been nothing but positive.

Pros

Ease of use. Keeps the whole team on the same page almost effortlessly.

Cons

I don't really have any cons at the moment.

### "BIM 360 QA/QC Utilization"

February 10, 2017

5.0

BIM 360 is a great tool to run punch lists, safety lists and QA/QC lists. The report feature that automatically sends updates to subs is a great time saver and great way to expedite resolving problems. The setup for BIM 360 can be a bit bulky and has to be done from a computer, but the dedicating the time to setup correctly quickly pays off.

Pros

I like the reports function that automatically reminds subs of outstanding items. You can customize reports depending on needs and this saves time from not having to send out a bunch of emails.

Cons

The setup is bulky. I wish setup was easier and could be done from a computer.

### "Outstanding"

June 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

ease of use, that is portable and can be use on a tablet. Writing issues and following up with them makes the job so much easier. The Daily updates are really easy to fill out and the weather feature is a great tool.

Cons

sync time can be long, things are a little difficult to find at times. Having to login if the webpage is accidentally close.

I use Bim 360 Daily as it fosters simple communication with the many parties at my job site. Bim 360 eliminates the need to consistently check for errors and updates as the system is automatically updated once a task is completed by the Contractor.

### "BIM 360 Review"

April 12, 2017

4.0

The ability to post models in a central integrated system is definitely a plus. Before we would post to an FTP site and then an MEP Coordinator would then append all the models in Navis Works. Once this is done then he or she would save it in an .ned format then disseminate it to all the different companies and their trades. With BIM 360 Glue it allowed us to upload it centrally and the consolidated model would then reupdate it automatically. Which is great! If we wanted to view it in Navis then all we would do is use the add-in within Navis works and download it.

Pros

Great for consolidated models

Cons

I would still use Navis to do the fly through and clash resolution

### "Bim 360, the greatest punch list tool. "

April 11, 2017

5.0

This is by far the best program for a construction punch list. The program is very user friendly and easy to use.

Pros

Ease of use, fairly easy job set up, and the email notifications are the best.

Cons

None at this time.

### "Lots of potential, but currently frustrating to use"

May 11, 2017

3.0

We have had to conform our workflow to how the program operates. Consequently, things are spread out, disorganized and filled with duplicates. Issues with uploading have caused us to wonder if all our drawings are really uploaded or not; there's no time for second guessing! This program has lots of potentials it could be fantastic but currently is frustrating to use.

Pros

Automatically searches for and creates hotlinks between drawings; automatically names sheets, as well All drawings are stored and synced in the cloud, easily shared with others, even if they don't own a subscription to PlanGid

Cons

Not all features are available in the different platforms (Online, Desktop and App versions) and you have to switch between them too frequently Creating and managing "Version Sets" is confusing and doesn't always make sense for every drawing Cannot comment or mark up supplemental documents; comments on sheets are hidden, no notifications are sent out when someone comments Unable to create folders for projects. We have multiple types of drawings for each projects, and some

### "Sold a lemon - should have stayed with Plangrid only but they aren't upgrading that software enough."

November 16, 2021

1.0

It is a lemon. Effectively Build is in BETA version still but they are selling it at a premium. Customer support is non existent

Pros

Hated it

Cons

Everything. They've effectively taken Plangrid that was perfectly good & slowly killed it whilst at the same time leaving all the good functions behind & not bring onto Build

Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma

Because effectively they are killing Plangrid and had no other option but to make the move

### "BIM 360 makes it easy to coordinate and manage the construction of my projects."

August 8, 2017

5.0

Ease of coordination with the design and construction team.

Pros

Quite simply, the ease of use is the biggest plus. Makes the CA phase of a project nearly painless. 360 Field is one of the best tools that I have used.

Cons

I honestly have nearly no complaints. The searching for specific punch list items can be a bit dodgy sometimes, but other than that, no issues.

### "BIM 360 is a great online collaborative tool"

May 18, 2017

4.0

It has helped our design and construction teams to coordinate our schedules more efficiently and helped us to reduce construction schedules.

Pros

BIM 360 can be used by design teams, as well as during the collaboration process while in the construction phase, to identify and mitigate clashes before they are discovered in the field.

Cons

While BIM 360 is a great collaborative tool, it lacks the robustness needed from a 3D viewing platform. Rotating large models and be choppy and a bit clunky at times. If this were too be upgraded, it would be a huge benefit to the product.
