### "The best way to work in Revit"

September 13, 2019

4.0

All in all, Bim 360 is headed in the right direction when it comes to the projects of the future. The ability to collaborate with consultants in one model is astounding. Having had issues with the desktop versions of Revit in the past, BIM 360 offers a better way to 3D model.

Pros

\-All consultants can update and post models in one place now instead of having to share, download, and re-upload models manually -BIM 360 has great admin features to control who has access to what projects and how much access they have -Rendering with Revit is much easier with Bim 360 -Using Bim 360 frees up space on our servers and reduces lag time for syncing Revit models. -Can access projects through the desktop shortcut or the web -You do not have to be on a specific server to access projects

Cons

\-The homepage/interface is a little bit confusing to navigate at first -It is a relatively new product for our office so finding support for glitches/bugs can be a challenge (though the folks we work with are always willing to help)

### "Architecture's Gold Standard for Collaboration"

January 2, 2020

4.0

The most important aspect of the program, collaborating models between far-flung users, works solidly. You'd expect a higher quality user interface from a company as established as Autodesk, but that's a minor complaint. Autodesk's customer service is responsive and they support their programs well.

Pros

This program is the default collaboration software for the architectural industry. As such, it is almost impossible to work on a large project and not need it. Sharing models between architects and consultants is a breeze, and even allows live linking (but still allows incremental updates as well). However, Autodesk doesn't just sit on their monopoly; they push updates consistently and listen to users' requests.

Cons

While it is improving with each update from Autodesk, the web interface still has much to be desired. It doesn't have the most intuitive layout (for example: I'm still unsure why the global "Account Admin" settings are found in a project-specific tab) and can be laggy when switching between tabs. I would like a desktop client as well since my browser typically has many tabs open at once and the BIM 360 tab can get lost.

February 19, 2020

5.0

As a company that provides engineering services to construction contractor, we were able to run our clients' projects, monitor them closely, and provide top notch engineering services from one place.

Pros

\+ Combines all design aspects. + Great for managing the engineering tasks from one place. + Provides a dashboard platform to run and supervise construction.

Cons

\+ Requires a while to get used to (approximately 200 working hours). + Must have knowledge with other software (AutoCAD, Civil 3d, Steel).

### "The future of BIM, with some minor kinks to iron out"

January 18, 2019

4.0

Thanks to the real-time sharing feature, the issues, if any, between coordination are caught and rectified early in the process. If the server sync delays are addressed for the typical internet connection speeds, this would definitely be the future of BIM.

Pros

1\. The ability to seamlessly communicate and coordinate with multiple teams working on the same project. 2. Conflict resolution on modeled elements in real-time. 3. Storage limits are no more a issue when working with large projects as all the files are autosaved/synced to the cloud.

Cons

1\. Sync times are dramatically high because it is no longer just limited by drive speeds but by the internet speeds. 2. Although BIM360 allows different teams to upload different versions of the files with distinct user privileges, the ability to access the files of other teams can cause accidental changes be made to other's files if not careful.

### "GREAT TOOL FOR DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION AND UPDATE,REPORT WRITING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT"

June 24, 2019

5.0

our overall experience is amazing, we enjoined a well organised,coordinated,well informed construction process through out the project, no one was left behind, all report are made available through BIM.

Pros

Coordination of design models, update of models,writing report through the various report typology and layout choices available, the free version made learning easy for beginners with the amazing quick response from customer care line, the app works well on ipad making it handy and mobile on site, work progress report and pictures can be taken and shared among sub-contractors and client, files can be uploaded to cloud and retrieved, BIM is preferred due to it integration with revit and other file format

Cons

The application requires a beginner to be trained to be able to maximize the potential of the application, it slows down performance when layout or several files or pictures are being loaded, every body on the team needs to learn BIM so we can collaborate and get update, BIM is great for coordination and organisation

### "Feedback"

April 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

What I like most about this software is that once you have it all set up, and you download their program, it is very easy to use on their desktop application. It makes shifting through sheets very easy, and you are allowed to make markups as necessary, with the option to delete them (if you were just using them to clarify something in meetings). I also love that you are allowed to import personnel from previous projects which is convenient when many of the same people will be added.

Cons

Their web version could use a bit of work as I dreaded using plangrid on the web. Whenever you selected the wrong page you would have to go back through all the sheets to find the correct one. Yes, you can search them up as well, but when flipping through pages it was hard if you needed to look for a specific page and had to scroll through the sheets (instead of when hitting the back button it takes you to the area you were before, similar to what happens on the application program.

### "Utilidad de Autodesk Construction Cloud"

July 19, 2023

5.0

Pros

It is internationally recognized software for it's extensive editing capabilities, which make it possible to digitally draw building plans or recreate 3D images.It allows exchanging information not only on paper, but also through files, and this represents an improvement in speed and effectiveness when interpreting desing.It allows you to export and import files of all kinds because it is compatible with multiple platforms.It has tools to improve the document on a paper, both in terms of aesthetics and information, since the finish and presentation of a project or plan is important.

Cons

The program can be somewhat expensive due to its great potential but it is worth acquiring it, for the benefits it offers.A powerful computer is required to work whit processing speed, and good hard drive space.

### "autodesk construction cloud- construction management"

June 25, 2023

4.0

I've been using Autodesk construction cloud for the past year for managing my projects in real time and make quick decisions, share project information store project data. it has helped me in meeting deadlines and also helped in reducing delays , reduced errors. the mobile access has been been a lifechanging on and made the process much simpler. if there are connectivity issues or outages it sometimes can disrupt access to project data and affect productivity

Pros

it is the best app which enables teams to share documents , manage workflow and easily track progress offering features like storing documents , editing and sharing models in real-time. Easy access to project information and necessary data .

Cons

although the software offers a wide range of features and functions, the level with which it is customizable is maybe limited as sometimes we require more tailored solutions to fit the specific need. Timely and effective customer support is vital to address any issues or concerns

### "It's a fantastic platform. It can definitely add value to any organisation implemented properly "

May 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

It speaks the language of the digital generation. I feel that when I engage with the future engineers and show them the potential of both the online and mobile applications on BIM 360, the feedback is always positive and enthusiastic for what lies ahead in the AEC industry

Cons

Engaging with the more experienced team members that have been in the industry for generations are stuck in their way and not always willing to adapt. I call them 'digital immigrants' in that they were not born into the digital age but have had to adopt to it, whereas the younger generation are born into a digital environment and require little adoption required

### "Collaboration on the cloud BIM360 Design"

January 16, 2019

4.0

We minimize the issues caused by different versions of the project. Now each of us is responsible to find solutions to solve the interferences in the project at the same time that we are developing the project. we can't use the excuse that I was working in a different version and I didn't see the interference. It was great!

Pros

It has been great to work simultaneously with our consultants for complement projects. It is amazing to see project development and to check the interferences between the disciplines and to have a better vision of the project to make decisions.

Cons

1 - We decided to work simultaneously just a single file on cloud and we had problems with objects been removed accidentally by other consultants. It would be awesome to have an option to don't allow that another discipline to erase objects in another workset. 2 - We had problems with software support from our provider, but we found another vendor who gave us wonderful support even though we had purchased the software with another provider. But because of this great treatment, when my consultants were looking for to buy the BIM360, I indicated to them this other provider and in our renewal of licenses, we will migrate to that provider who also gave us support and attention.

### "Great for keeping track of project quality and snags"

May 4, 2018

4.0

good in aiding the recalling closed or in progress issues for resolution is very easy, especially compaired to trawling through paper docments

Pros

easy to recall checklists, issues (snags clean up notices etc.) and using barcodes for relating those issues and checklists to a specific area keeps everything a lot more relevant. We have over 7000 rooms on our project and using the QR codes has let us relate issues very accurately so that anyone can follow up on issues. Being able to compartmentalise the information by using the user profiles is also very useful as it means our subcontractors can focus on their own issues and it eally helps decltter the information that is presented to them while we can still keep track of the bigger picture.

Cons

the larger the project the setup seems to exponentially increase (allocating locations, equipment, checklists and qr codes) the use of the excel spreadsheets to import information definitely reduces this somewhat but adding locations for a larger construction project will take a lot of time (on the project I am working on there are over 7700 individual rooms) and then associating those locations with a piece of equipment in order to create a scannable QR code doubles the time with something that is largely replicated work but you have to do so in order to assign a relevant checksheet template to a location.

### "Great service that allows us to accurately and quickly review and manage plans and documents."

January 10, 2018

5.0

Easy plan management and distribution.

Pros

Plangrid allows us to manage and distribute plans and documents to the project management team and to the field quickly and accurately. Changes can be distributed immediately once received and processed. Questions and issues found in the field can quickly be shared and documented to the project management team with pictures and notes on the plans. Plangrid continues to update and release features on a consistent basis.

Cons

This is geared toward the general contractor but has been of great use to us as a subcontractor. Field reports could be easier to use and easier to import a new form into.

### "Great Tool For the Field"

February 5, 2019

3.0

BIM is a very useful collaboration tool for a team working together. If we can get the glitches worked out, and make the interface more friendly I think the program would benefit greatly.

Pros

Everything is in one place. I can link issues from checklists to an issues log, generate reports for the issues and checklists complete. Tracking the progress of issue resolution by each contractor is helpful in knowing where a contractor is and helps raise red flags early on.

Cons

It is glitchy at times. Sometimes reports don't generate with the correct dates or all of the issues. The learning curve is steep, there are still things that the program can do that I am not aware of.

### "Pricey but the best user experience for field"

November 7, 2018

5.0

We use PlanGrid exclusively for our major projects and it integrates with our project management software (eSub) to be able to pull in and sync RFI's and other information across the project lifecycle.

Pros

The ease in which to keep documents up to date in the field. Progress photos documented throughout the course of construction has saved us money. Also posting sketches/linking drawings to quickly thumb through the plans is super helpful.

Cons

The price is prohibitive to have many users on a small project. They got rid of their "free" plan for accounts with less than 50 sheets. Their cost structure is more expensive than other similar solutions on the market like Bluebeam.

L'entreprise utilise Autodesk construction cloud pour sa facilité. Les superviseurs sur chantier moins habitués avec l'information sont même capables de l'utiliser. J'adore la plateforme.

Pros

La plateforme est immensément fluide. Il est facile d'interagir dans la compagnie même et avec le client via la plateforme. Le lecteur de plan est vraiment bien.

Cons

L'intégration de certains add-on n'est pas à point. Il y a eu beaucoup de "bug".

### "PlanGrid Review- "

November 13, 2018

5.0

Overall the software is an amazing tool for Construction projects. The ability to manage one project in one space is unmatched.

Pros

The best things about the software are: 1) The ability to have unlimited sheets 2) The easy upload of new sheets and the accessibility of Revs 1/ 2/ 3, etc. with a simple swipe 3) Support team always fast and helpful 4) The ability to create issues and tag multiple linked accounts to the same issue 5) The ability to create reports from RFIs, Issues, logo upload etc. to PDF, Excel documents and how immersive the reports are, from the organization of the issues and photos (very professional) 6) The ability to upload documents and attach them where needed for example RFI's 7) All the editing tools for Mark-ups within sheets. 8) How easy to publish and unpublish content as Admin

Cons

The least favorite things about the software are: 1) All though the cross platform from Web/Mac/ Windows/ Mobile options are great, the experience of cross platforms are not consistent throughout. Some features are available on some platforms and not in others 2) Constant out of sync updating on Mobile/ Desktop versions 3) Different software bugs across platforms (but its understandable)
