### "Overall a great customizable product"

February 10, 2017

4.0

Easy to find issues in the field and the ability to customize your inspection process are extremely valuable. Upload inventory list and create scan labels to keep track of product in the field.

Pros

### "Great Software"

February 25, 2020

5.0

this software helps stream line the whole process from beginning to end

Pros

this software allows you to do what ever is needed for the project, you can submit shop drawings, product data etc and review current drawings

Cons

in the beginning it can be a difficult to navigate but once you know the steps you will be ok, the GC usually has someone that is well versed

### "Better Than Most"

March 27, 2019

5.0

Pros

BIM360 is the best option for easily managing workflow between numerous users on a single design project.

Cons

The setup is not the most intuitive, and requires extra steps to backup files.

### "Great program, but needs to run faster."

June 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

The unlimited storage database is great when working on larger projects. The program is very user friendly. I was able to figure out most of the functions and tools without any training.

Cons

With the large size of the software, it runs a little slow unless you have super duper fast internet and a lot of memory space free on your computer.

### "Lots of problems"

January 31, 2017

3.0

I work for the developer on this project, so not for the contractor who has the license for BIM 360 but to share my input, BIM is usually great to use. I do have problems with taking photos. It takes about 10 seconds for each photo to register and save. On top of that, sometimes there are random little problems with BIM that I run into on my iPad which hinders me from adding issues. Right now, my screen shows grey with pins - the floor plan is not visible - and I can't add pins. Not sure what the issue is....overall it's a good program but there are a lot of bug fixes that need to be made.

Pros

Easy to use, easy to learn, user friendly

Cons

Lots of bugs, problems, slow

### "Mostly OK."

January 31, 2017

4.0

For the most part, the concept and execution are decent, and really fills a need in the industry. However - there were numerous crashes and information lost. There were also numerous cases of information being duplicated (especially in Clash Detective). The user experience side of working in the standalone Glue app (to put it far too nicely) leaves much to be desired. Please consider me as someone who can offer feedback. I have participated in Autodesk Beta testing in the past. While I don't have time for that level of commitment at the moment, I would be happy to chat or set up a screenshare with a developer to further explain the problem areas.

Pros

The ease of use with most of the functionality being integrated with the working application (Navisworks Manage, in my case)

Cons

Crashing, information loss/duplication, user interface

September 24, 2019

4.0

Experience has been good and hopefully any larger issues will be resolved with the next updates.

Pros

I love the user friendliness and the inter-activeness of the program. Will recommend it to all my associates.

Cons

The expense of the program. There are also some trouble-shooting issues that will hopefully be resolved shortly

### "BIM360 is great"

April 6, 2017

5.0

We mainly use it to create issues for our subs and our initial inspections. It is easy to use and makes tracking a breeze.

Pros

How easy it is to use.

Cons

Switching between admin and the regular side is kind of a pain.

### "Pilot project for Fiatech field reporting"

September 11, 2019

3.0

PlanGrid is a good tool for site engineers to annotate drawing on site and update back to office. I am sure that with the new acquisition by Autodesk a lot of improvement will be made

Pros

The speed of completing a task on a drawing is fast enough, and it is easy to learn and implement. It provides faster coordination cycles between site and office engineers.

Cons

Removing a redlining and comments is not that easy. uploading and downloading files take a lot of time

Alternatives considered

[Bluebeam Revu](https://www.capterra.com/p/121586/Bluebeam-PDF-Revu/)

Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma

This evaluation was a comparison with other competitive product and PlanGrid is a market leader

### "Takes a while to get used to, but is a very handy tool"

July 18, 2017

5.0

Pros

Every electronic document is accessible and in one place. I can upload plans and checklists before i go into the field and can upload all of my findings back up to BIM 360

Cons

It can get confusing when starting out & trying to get everything organized, It drains the battery on all of my devices when it is running or in the background.

### "Good Product"

September 7, 2016

3.5

Pros

I like the ability to communicate issues and changes across the whole project team. Another great part of this software is the ability to assign users and the permissions you want them to have on a project.

Cons

It is not as intuitive as it could be. It was a little bit difficult to get started with it. However, that could be due to the fact that this is the first product of this type I have tried to use.

### "Owner Rep Review"

April 9, 2017

5.0

As N Owen's Representative, BIM makes it easy for contractors, architect, and MEP engineers to keep project documents updated - allows me to know exactly where we are, who's behind, what's been updated, costs, etc.

Pros

Keeps me up to date

Cons

Too long to sync each day

January 31, 2017

5.0

I have enjoyed using the program. The only features that could use improvement are the pin features, and the overall web experience. The app is solid.

Pros

Punchlist, work plans, planning tool

Cons

Difficulty to learn

January 31, 2017

Using on the New Orleans airport job this is a critical part of daily operations. Provides ease of drawing access and updates!

Pros

Drawing access!

Cons

Initial sign up but that is due to orientation with the GC

Other than the System is not the most flexible in terms of having to try and use the punch list application. Example when trying to go and add a single item by the time you feel everything out about the one items it can take a person on average of 30 to 60 seconds which can make doing a 500 or 600 item list very time consuming. The results are very useful however not sure there is a easier way to accomplish this or not.

Pros

it can capture a lot of items from drawings to punch list, RFI Etc

Cons

lots of blanks to fill in some blanks are great some are not as useful more personalized customization options would help

### "Smart program to coordinate all trades. I had a great experience with this program"

May 3, 2018

5.0

The most important benefit it is money! You are saving money by reduce you field mistakes!

Pros

This program easy to use. Just upload your model and you can see all clashes with trades and with structural and architectural.

Cons

It is a good program, but maybe will be better when you see your clashes and you comment it other trade can see your comment.

### "Best Program Out There"

January 31, 2017

5.0

Always happy when I start a project and they say we are using BIM 360. My firm uses Newforma and that does not compare to BIM 360. I am on the road at different projects every day and use all the other programs, BIM 360 is by far the best.

Pros

Ease of use.

Cons

Nothing.

We use BIM 360 via C4R for collaboration between several Revit users located around the country (USA). It works very well for our purposes. Our one minor complaint is the occasional downtime that stops our production.

### "Used as document control to track current drawings"

February 12, 2016

4.0

This is a great tool for making sure that the entire team has the most current set of drawings. I do wish there was a better sharing tool. I frequently want to send a team member just the landscape plans, etc. and that is hard to do on the current software. I work on large projects with 10K documents. It would be nice to not have to download all project documents to my ipad to save space. I use the desktop portal more than the ipad for this reason. I keep running out of space on ipads. The desktop access does not have the same ease of use as the ipad app. All in all though, i love the ability to look at the most current plan and all previous versions of those sheets. To take the plans into the field and look closely at the details on the jobsite. The ease of marking up the drawings, etc. This program does a lot of things right and is clearly moving in the right direction. Thanks!

### "This is a great tool for the field in these days of paperless construction."

August 16, 2017

5.0

QC and issue tracking. Going to start up and commission a large detention facility in the coming months and we hope it meets our expectations.

Pros

There are numerous options and features that we could implement that would do a variety of tasks that improve communication and productivity of our field workflows

Cons

I think it could be more intuitive to the basic user. Depending on what you have set up we have a range of user skill sets.

Very satisfied customer!

Pros

I use PlanGrid to manage Requests for Information to/from architects on multimillion dollar renovations. My team is so pleased that we are planning on implementing the software company wide.

Cons

We were hesitant about the cost at first but it was worth it in the end.
