### "Great App With Everything You Need"

February 10, 2017

4.0

BIM 360 is a very help construction app. I have used field, glue, and plan. Plan has been a great way to plan out short sequences of work and track subcontractor timing and PPC. Glue is one of my favorite apps for viewing the model, particularly in the field on the ipad. And Field was an important part of doing our punch list on projects. Sometimes the apps are cumbersome to set up, like field was hard to set it up to do punch by room and it's cumbersome to enter items, but it was easy to run reports by subs or areas. Plan is also difficult to modify to break down daily/hourly. But overall they are great apps.

Pros

Easy to view the model in glue, easy to schedule once set up in plan, and field is a great tool for punch.

Cons

They all can be cumbersome to set up or continue to work on. Can be a lot of upfront time or sometimes software runs slow.

### "Great for all trades coordination"

April 7, 2017

4.0

This is a great software to access all the models from all the trades. These days, a lot of documents are available on big projects and BIM 360 can handle that very well. It also good to be able to review other trades model without having to download it. Great tool from a steel fabricator standpoint.

Pros

Easy access to tons of documents. Easy to share with others. Access model via web browser.

Cons

Can be slow with complex models.

### "Great to use and easy !"

December 15, 2015

5.0

I have no prior computer soft wear experience and I found this program very easy to use, although it took me some time to teach my self it was only a matter of a month or so and I had it down. I love the system and it keeps me on top of my job and that matters, since using the plan grid on job sites other trades have began to follow and it shows. How you ask. Well the other trades now have pads and the plan grid installed using it every day. The plan grid tips help you through process of learning and that took the un easy feeling away from feeling stupid. One thing that is a con is once you have installed enough information on to the soft wear your I-Pad will become slower in processing the info and from time to time it will kick me back to the home screen. Since then I have learned to conglomerate my info to a format limiting the slow down. After all the more you use it,the better you get !

### "Easy and accurate"

March 6, 2019

5.0

Was required to use on two big projects and am glad I chose to purchase, I use on my Chromebook, super fast

Pros

Super easy user interface. Easy to navigate forward.....

Cons

Could use navigation arrows to thumb back and forth between sheets. Ie: when I open an A sheet and jump to a P sheet, I'd like to hit a back key to go back to that A sheet

### "BIM 360 Review"

January 31, 2017

4.0

Although I am still learning all of the program's capability, it has greatly helped with the ease of maintaining construction documents and sharing information with the field. I look forward to expanding my knowledge of the software and teaching our field personnel new and improved ways to coordinate the work.

Pros

Ease of sharing information with the field

Cons

Our subcontractors/consultants do not understand the notifications

### "Must Have Tool on Jobsite"

March 30, 2016

5.0

Pros

Great app. One of a kind and really helps in maximizing productivity on my projects. Plangrid staff is super helpful and attentive to the needs of their users.

Cons

This would be the case with any product, but there's a ton of feature I would like added after using the app. Can't really knock them for this because it's a lot easier to think of great ideas as opposed to implementing them.

### "Excellent Tool to Set Us Apart from Competition!"

January 31, 2017

Autodesk and their suite of products has helped our company provide a level of service to our clients that enables us to stand out above our competition. Truly a value add and must have in your tool bag when working with clients!

Pros

Free and easy to install. Software is very user friendly.

Cons

The version of software I currently use requires internet service. On remote job sites this can be a challenge.

### " The best tool I have received, by far, hands down! "

December 3, 2015

The simplicity of the app. All the features including hyper linking, snapshots being able to be sent for design issues. There are too many to name.

### "Glue and AutoCAD MEP Fabrication Software"

January 31, 2017

3.0

We are a full service mechanical contractor offering Plumbing, Pipe-fitting and HVAC. We practice full fabrication level detailing using AutoCAD MEP Fabrication software. We tend to do rather large jobs and even broken up the files can become a bit cumbersome. At first the BIM 360 Glue software performed fairly well, albeit rather slowly. I attributed this to the file size and schooled myself to patience. Lately, however, I have not been able to glue from AutoCAD for several weeks. I have been force to close the file, open BIM 360 and glue from there. This experience has become the norm for the 6-10 detailers and CAD techs on the project. This state of affairs has cause most of us to save a copy of the model (Navis) and only upload once or twice a day. Needless to say, although BIM 360 Glue is a great concept our recent experience with it has taken on a rather nightmarish quality.

### "Autodesk Construction Cloud is a great option for your Building Project"

July 21, 2022

4.0

It's a good platform to use for a project and can be used throughout the life-cycle of the project. You can add users internally and externally quite easily and access all documentation with a few clicks.

Pros

This product is so easy to use and implement within a team and bring others on-board. It's a great tool to house all documentation on a project and easy to use with minimal training.

Cons

There are some issues with files corrupting if users are not familiar with the process. The files are archived and can be pulled an reinstated, but it is extra work to be done when this happens.

### "Plan grid is a great way to have your plans at your fingertips with a laptop of tablet in the field"

January 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love being able to take my drawings into the field and add markups on them as I am out observing construction or meeting with the client.

Cons

I wish it was a little easier to set up and It would be great to offer some kind of way to control permission of the users.

November 3, 2015

5.0

Pros

The PlanGrid product is very helpful in the aspect of being able to share thoughts and ideas with a markup tool to call attention to areas, you are able to take pictures and send to a specific spot on plans. You can make notes only for your eyes only or you can share them with your team.

Cons

I have not come across an aspect of this product I do not like but I'll keep searching!

Pros

Combines Navisworks with the ability to view conflicts and provide updates. We are using alongside BIM Track and has been the quickest way to resolve coordination conflicts.

April 3, 2017

BIM 360 Glue has allowed us to hold the latest coordination model in the cloud and reduces the work required to stitch models together. The coordination tools is enough for the design models and allows for a great tool to show the team.

### "A must have app for project managers "

March 14, 2016

5.0

Pros: This app is a one stop shop for project management. Besides being able to pull up the plans very quickly and clearly, you can make notes, put together RFIs, look up submittal docs, add photos of what is seen in the field and pin it to where it is shown on the plans. It makes it very easy for my team in the field to communicate to me the work that is done, issues they are seeing or mark areas that are questionable. PlanGrid continues to come up with updates as well that improve the software and they have free product demonstrations online to help you learn to use features on the tool. Cons: Cost. If you have anything over 50 sheets, you have to pay for a subscription which I have no problem with. My problem is that there was a significant jump in the price of the subscription for new members. It jumped up 20 dollars a month, or 30 if you paid monthly.
