### "Easy Way To Increase Productivity"

December 21, 2015

4.0

I've found that in the construction industry, your field crew is often made up of workers that are not necessarily the most tech-savvy individuals on your payroll. These days that means more field visits to document completed work or review issues that arise. Since we've been using Plan Grid those extra trips have been reduced dramatically primarily due to the ease of transferring information to and from the jobsite. We are a small company, and although we had to make the initial investment in tablets for our Superintendents and Foremen, the long-term time savings seem to be making it worthwhile. Whether we are documenting completed work or uploading sketches changing the contract drawings, everything is done in real time and in one place.

### "Heavy Lifters"

December 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

If you have a collaborative team on a LARGE project, this piece of software is a no brainer! The collabortive features makes it stand out above all other Revit tools.

Cons

very, very, very, very expensive! Not ideal for smaller projects.

### "BIM coordination is an exceptional tool for design processes "

October 29, 2018

5.0

I would like to recommend this tool for people that are dabbling in the construction field. It is very useful for interns to have a overview of a project.

Pros

It has a good integration with the iPad, what makes it a good tool for field. You can upload photos with comments and has a customizable sharing with a specific group pf consultants, architects, engineers, etc. It is easy to use, even for non tech-friendly people. It makes the task of communicate work issues easily.

Cons

The interface should have improvements to make it user-friendly

### "PlanGrid for the fifty plus"

November 7, 2018

5.0

It is amazing how much time can be saved by using PlanGrid

Pros

Some what easy to figure out, many of us are 50 plus and did not grow up with computers.

Cons

I would like to see a "how to" resource that is easy to find for us that are computer challenged

### "Very powerful program with some usability issues"

April 13, 2017

3.0

The program is great for iPad and convenient to utilize for consistent data storage. Very easy to use on site and requires minimal training to use but a lot of training to get started. The reporting is not the easiest to manipulate and difficult to lay out reports in a clear manner. Loading data in checklists takes a long time - the first time I tried I thought the iPad froze since upload doesn't indicate progress or time remaining. My users have complained about the system being slow - after adding photos it takes a moment to get to the next item. Overall a very useful and powerful tool but needs some tweaks to get it to the next level of usability. May also be my issue to spend much more time on the setup of project.

Pros

Great iPad interface. Easy for users to get up and running fast. Great way to store project information.

Cons

Reports are not efficient. Long loading time. Difficult to setup.

### "Real Review"

April 12, 2017

4.0

Overall the desktop experience is easy and always functional. The mobile app isn't always so easy and lags at time. Might be my iPad, not sure. I dont use the customer support nor did i purchase so im not sure about the value aspect.

Pros

Easy to learn and use

Cons

Having to sync all the time

### "BIM 360 allows us to view models created by designers"

September 28, 2019

4.0

Pros

We can view and markup models created by project teams in either our web browser or on mobile devices

Cons

The mobile app crashes if the file is too large, and sometimes it takes a while to load.

### "Clash detection is awesome"

August 2, 2019

4.0

Pros

I love that you can figure out problems before they happen in the real world with the clash detection.

Cons

There seem to be a couple of bugs that still need to be worked out but they are small.

### "Concrete Use"

January 31, 2017

4.0

I really like BIM 360, but often times it is not possible to log on when needed. When it works properly the access to the folders, reports and folders is organized well and easy to use.

Pros

Easy access to folders/plans.

Cons

At times log in is not capable for no apparent reason.

### "Good enough for most projects"

January 31, 2017

3.0

Program is easy enough to use and learn the beginners. Posting, sharing and retrieving files is easy and the thumbnail preview allows you to see the plan before downloading.

Pros

Ease of use.

Cons

Would like to see the entire file title, creation date, and creator in one view.

### "Glue 360 - Revit, Navisworks & PDF files"

April 13, 2017

3.0

I used Glue 360 for weekly file upload and few time when I had to walk through a model the navigation was not simple. I found my way around by clicking on different options but it took a bit of poking around. It will be great to see for Glue 360 so have compatibility with PDF files. PDF files can be uploaded but PDF files are not recognized as a valid file format for upload.

Pros

Allows multiple teams in various locations to coordinate work.

Cons

Not intuitive to navigate

January 31, 2017

4.0

I used BIM 360 as a mechanical project manager in the construction of a 500,000 sq ft hospital and it was very useful from the office to the field. Great product as it seamlessly integrates models and provides a real time update of information.

Pros

mobile software. Real time updates.

### "Doing My Field Reports"

October 31, 2019

4.0

I would put my overall experience at a 7.5 out of 10.

Pros

It is really easy to learn especially for the crew in the field. The newest updates with notification alerts are really helpful and allow us to stay on top of it...

Cons

When I download my pictures they go in in order by date, but when I search them they are no longer in order by date, frustrating...

### "PlanGrid is an amazing tool that allows me to have a portable version of all of my project files. "

January 13, 2016

5.0

PlanGrid is an amazing tool that allows me to have a portable version of all of my project files. Having the drawings on a portable device is great, however why stop there? PlanGrid seems to have an unlimited space for attachments. I upload the entire set of specifications, RFIs, submittals, photos and anything else I want or need. One of my favorite and most useful features of PlanGrid is the ability to draw clouds anywhere on a drawing and create a link to an RFI. The app loads quickly, it automatically recognizes sheet labels, it allows you to overlay an updated drawing revision on top of the bid set and lets you label it. This app gets 5 stars in my opinion. Thank you PlanGrid for a great product!

### "Great Help between office and Field "

February 10, 2017

4.0

BIM 360 has been helpful with detecting problems before they occur. It has helped with communication with different trades in the field and preventing problems before they occur. Being able to use a single item to control any issues helps with craziness of trying to resolve any issue.

### "It gives us the ability to keep our Roofers up to date with the latest plans."

February 3, 2016

5.0

I am the Commercial Sales Manager of a Roofing company in Queensland Australia and PlanGrid has become one of the "toys" I show off to Builders in any meeting I go to. It not only makes us look technologically advanced and capable, it allows us to supply our roofing fixer with the latest plans available, as soon as they are sent to us. We have had our fixers on site actually showing the site supervisor (who's flicking through numerous hard copy plans getting lost) that he's using outdated plans. I have lost count of how many people and business' I have recommended it too - all who jokingly ask if I'm getting commission! Haha. In all seriousness - I wish it were a bigger thing down here and I am doing my best to make it so.

### "Great Tool with integration and security of your files as the overall goal."

May 7, 2018

4.0

I feel the cooridination thru out the project team was greatly enhanced in this product.

Pros

The ability to lock folders by Firm. As well as the automated Clash results are what put it over the top with me. Also Great feature was the autohyperlinking of PDFs published from multiple models.

Cons

The MarkUp tool is very sloppy. It needs to have some standards shapes and tags that you can put on drawings.

April 4, 2017

BIM 360 has been a wonderful add to our projects. It is not as useful on the <$2 mil projects but exceeds expectations outside of that.

Pros

Allows us to track issues, punch commissioning, Warranty etc. all in one place

Cons

Sometimes not as nimble as needed.

### "BIM 360 allows me to efficiently and concisely document my job through its many phases and scopes of"

May 3, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like the ability to filter and sort the different issues and check lists I have inputted. It allows me to easily relay that information back to my subcontractors by printing various reports.

Cons

I least like the inability to tag multiple subcontractors on a specific pinned issue. There is frequently an issue that requires work to by corrected by multiple subcontractors.

February 10, 2017

5.0

It is very user friendly for all types of functions from tracking the weather to tracking equipment deliveries.

Pros

Ease of use. Also, easy to use on an Ipad out in the field. Makes receiving deliveries easier and more accurate.

Cons

The big difference in formatting between desktop and the mobile version. Kind of hard to tell what is what sometimes after spending a lot of time on the desktop version.
