" September 6, 2023 5.0 In the company where I work (multinational), it allowed the team to improve times and to have an idea of the progress of the work on a daily basis. Pros It is a very complex platform that centralizes everything from plans, technical sheets, schedules and others. It also allows users to visualize the modifications made in real time. Cons The cost allows large companies to acquire it, but not small ones. In addition, it requires training of all personnel for a better use of the platform. However, its benefits are highly measurable. Review Source fissiha A.

Project Manager Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Top tool for the job" January 27, 2022 5.0 Excellent tool for projects, easy to use and incredible design in its interface. It has helped me at work and I have achieved incredible results, plus it has the ability to perform various functions such as reviewing projects and managing data in the cloud. Pros Autodesk Construction Cloud has been helpful to me and my co-workers and even my employees as it enables better planning or design of a construction project to make it safer. It is also easy to manage and save future projects, it has an extensive and feature-rich interface. Cons I consider that it is a very useful tool for future work, it has a wide interface and incredible functions, however the only thing that I do not like is its customer service, since they do not usually respond quickly and do not give you a solution to your problem.

February 19, 2023 4.0 Overall experience with this software is good and I will recommend others to use it. Pros It is easily manageable, portable, and handy software. We can easily collaborate with our teammates using it. Cons We need some sort of license to view files and documents.

Corporate Development Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Autodesk Construction Cloud" September 7, 2023 4.0 Overall it was okay. The implementation team (3rd party vendor who sold the bundle to us) could have been better, but the product itself was overall good. Pros The fact that all of the modules within Build, Cost Management, and Insight tie into each other makes it very easy to create Issues connected to RFIs to Plans, etc. Cons Sometimes it can be a little clunky with how some items work on a desktop version, but not on a mobile version. In Meetings, for example, one can assign due dates and people to complete the action items on the desktop version, but you cannot assign people in the mobile version. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma Less expensive and could do everything ProCore did. Switched from [GiddyUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/213337/GiddyUp/) We needed something more robust as we grew from smaller remodeling projects to large ground-up construction projects.

" April 4, 2017 3.0 I've used BIM-360 as part of the BIM coordination process on 2 separate projects. The idea is that you store your CAD files in the cloud, and the BIM administrator for the project creates composite ("merged") models, combining all of the trade models. These merged models are stored in the cloud and are accessible from computers and ipads. The ability to view current and updated models on an ipad in the field is really the main benefit to using BIM 360, in my opinion. Having said that, the only way that particular feature (and all of the others, for that matter) works properly, is if the project BIM manager does all of the necessary "housekeeping" so that you have good model hygiene - like using proper model origin and orientations, eliminating "space junk" from the model files. If you have any of those things, the default model view is zoomed way out, and makes it almost impossible to zoom into the model. Every time you hit the "top view" or "home view" buttons, it resets back to being zoomed way out. The BIM 360 model viewer actually works better on the ipad that it's PC application. Other features that leave a bit to be desired are: \*Navigating the model (PC app). Saving and recalling viewpoints, and running clash detection. Navisworks Manage is far superior in all of those areas. \*If you use BIM 360 to view your model, as opposed to using Navisworks or Revit, you have to upload your CAD file every time you want to see a model update. The upload takes some time and becomes somewhat tedious. There is BIM 360 plugin for Navis Manage that allows you to log into the BIM 360 server through Navis, and view any of the merged models that have been created. So you're essentially using Navis to navigate, take viewpoints, make annotations, run clashes. But you still have to upload your own CAD file to the cloud if you want to see the changes take place in current Navis session. You can save a local copy of the model as an NWD file. \*Navigating the file/folder structure is tedious. When you download a file (another trade's CAD, for example) from Bim 360, it NEVER remembers the previous save location. Very annoying. FINAL THOUGHTS: We scrapped BIM 360 and use only Navis and Dropbox for coordination currently. If our foremen could view an accurate and current model on an ipad in the field the product would be worth consideration. Proper BIM management makes all the difference. There are glitches, and a learning curve. Pros The ability for the field to call up the model on an ipad. Cons Everything else is inferior to currently existing market products.

Autodesk does give us a very good level of support and I am happy to take advantage of all the features and components of a project management system as opposed to having to use 2-3 other products and only get the best of some niche products just to save a few dollars. Pros Autodesk has a very cohesive suite so you get the full flex of options when you are using this. Every possible niche you can think of is included in Autodesk Construction Cloud so you do not have to worry about buying add ons or a bunch of different products. I also like the update feature. Autodesk does their updates at nights and on weekends so it is not disruptive to your day unlike some other products out there so all patch updates and the like are always done outside of working hours. I also really like that this software is compatible across all devices as we have a mix of Windows and Mac users. No matter what hardware you are using Autodesk works just the same so all end users can enjoy the same experience. Cons Autodesk Construction Cloud is not cheap. You do have to consider other options if budget is a large constraint. While I feel that we get the best bang for our buck using Autodesk, this is definitely not the least expensive option out there but you must consider the features you get automatically included when you deploy this. This also takes some skill and expertise to get used to. While I have been using the software for sometime and can be well acquainted with it, not all users are going to like having to watch a few videos and how-to's to better understand how this works; it is not as intuitive as its competition.

IT-Admin Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pretty cool new features" February 6, 2023 5.0 loving the brand new capabilities delivered , universal, Autodesk production Cloud is a powerful and complete construction management software that gives a huge variety of features to assist manipulate projects, track budgets, and maintain groups organized. but, it is able to be a bit puzzling to analyze and can be high-priced for a few customers Pros The Account Administration Portal I like most. The library tools included in the Account Administration portal make it easy to access projects, members, templates, and the library. You can sort them all alphabetically or in ascending or descending order to get straight to what you're looking for. Plus, with the Library Tools section of the Account Administration portal, you can create custom forms from scratch or import a PDF file so you don't have to recreate everything from scratch. Cons There are a few little usability quirks in the software that could use improvement. For example, it's confusing to have to hunt for the search bar every time you need to type an inquiry, and why the screen moves once you've looked at it and price should have been Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing Autodesk Forma much more user-friendly than the other software. variety of features helps to manage projects as well as tracking budgets.

I would recommend this product to other companies. Pros I like that Autodesk Construction Cloud is easy to use and easy to teach to our employees. It keeps our projects running smoothly and it is easy to see what tasks we need to get done/ Cons I do wish the software was a little more mobile friendly and offered an "offline" mode for the times we have projects in areas with little to no cellular service.

Project Engineer Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Plan Grid Review" December 5, 2016 4.0 Plan grid has been useful for our team to be one step ahead of the game in document control. I am currently working on a larger project with multiple files, especially ASIs. As a result, the overlay capabilities makes it easier to keep up with drawings that have been superseded and have the most current jobs in the field. I like the ability to tag drawings by discipline and in my case phases. The ability to hyperlink drawings to compile an as-built set or update current drawings with referenced RFIs, ASIs or SK drawings is extremely useful. I wish that plan grid would allow users that admins share files (i.e. subcontractors) have the ability not to pay. I think the GC should be responsible for payment , management, and distribution of files. Plan grid should sell perhaps licenses to the GC company and not charge individual subs a monthly fee just to review drawings. As a result, after the trial period ended none of the subs for my job signed up to use Plan Grid. Consequently, I've been using Bluebeam Revu Studio which has similar capabilities and users download a free software through Bluebeam that allows access to all the project folder and files. What Plan Grid has over Bluebeam currently is the OCR to recognize sheet names through the plan index and this is a standard feature; however, in order for Bluebeam to mimic Plan Grids basic principle, it seems like an added cost. Overall I like the software for in-house management but as far as the sharing it with the subs and getting them to use it for a project entirety it has been a struggle. Therefore I think they should either consider lowering the rates for additional users. Pros Intuitive and ergonomic functionality. It keeps files up to date and automatically supersedes old files. Cons The cost to share with other team members. If I have a project that has multiple subs that have a Project Manager, Asst Project Manager, Field Superintendent and Foreman who need to have the most updated drawings and each has to pay the fee then it gets pricey on their end. So I think Plan Grid should sell package/licenses s to subcontractor teams so they can distribute to their team in-house which you screen through their email address. Review Source JN James N. Company Director Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An Evaluation of Autodesk Construction Cloud" February 15, 2023 4.0 All in all, my experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud has been optimistic. Although there were some obstacles to overcome when learning the software, the benefits of the platform made it well worth the investment of my time. By simplifying my project management process, I was able to finish projects more efficiently and successfully. For any construction industry professional who is willing to put in the effort to learn, Autodesk Construction Cloud is a valuable asset. Pros As a construction industry professional, I was intrigued to test out Autodesk Construction Cloud. One of the major benefits I found was the platform's ability to provide a centralized location to manage all aspects of my projects. The software offered strong features for project management, document control, and collaboration, which made it easier to oversee multiple projects simultaneously. Cons While there were certain limitations to using Autodesk Construction Cloud, I did encounter some disadvantages while using the platform. I found the software interface to be quite complex, and the navigation was sometimes confusing, which impacted my ability to fully leverage the software features. Additionally, the software relies heavily on a stable internet connection, and I faced challenges with slow loading times when my connection was poor. Review Source Ricardo S. Ingeniero Civil Estructural Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A specialized cloud for BIM projects" August 8, 2018 5.0 BIM 360 is a much needed centralized information platform where you can share all the information regarding a Civil Engineering and Architecture project with all the team, or teams, that are participating in such project. I find this tool entirely useful for my projects, because I can share all the information about a project with my team, involving different disciplines such as Structural Engineering, Architecture, Plumbing Engineering, Interior Designers, and, most importantly, the Client Team. The main difference about BIM 360 and other cloud services is that it allow us to review Autodesk files. Personally, in the projects I've participated, I've used it for reviewing, markups, and comment files from AutoCAD, Revit, and 3DS max. This is very useful because you don't have to install an app for using this service, all you have to do is access to the BIM 360 page from any smartphone, tablet, or pc, and you can view the model from that page. Pros 1) Access to the Autodesk files for Reviewing. 2) Saving all the information regarding a Civil Engineering Project. 3) Access to the Autodesk files from any smartphone, tablet, or pc. 4) Interaction with the models without the need of an app, just by accessing from any browser. 5) Markups and comment sharing. Cons The only con that I can think about is that you cannot edit files in this software. But, since its purpose is just to share information, I don't think that is necessarily a con. Review Source Lap Y. MEP manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Autodesk cloud" May 11, 2021 4.0 It has been a bit rough but then again I am not a design professional. I am sure that design professionals find it very good. Pros It is geared towards the design professional and not the construction professional. It does track design changes well and shows you the evolution of a design and the contract documents. Cons As stated above, it is more for the design professional and does not translate well into the project management software such as Procore. We sometimes have to double enter information into our PM software. Review Source Christopher R. Project Engineer Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PlanGrid 2018" November 8, 2018 4.0 Overall it is a great software. The sales team and training team are great and professional. The software engineers (Coders) don't follow up and it takes them forever to correct any issues with the software. It almost seems like my voice is not being heard as many of my suggestions are to fix glitches in their software. Pros PlanGrid is a great software to keep your Plans and Documents organized. Since implementing PlanGrid, we have had more clarity as to which set of plans are current, where we are with Submittals and RFI's, as well as many other items. It is an amazing tool for field use and our superintendents have been able to learn quickly. Cons Many of the features are new, like RFI's, Daily Reports, Photos, and Submittals. Because they are so new, there are a number of glitches. When adding Pictures through the Photos tab or even in Daily Reports, they automatically re-orient themselves to end up sideways or upside down. Unfortunately once they are in, you cannot re-orient them properly. Submittals could use a little work on organization. We have had some complications on syncing when using tablets in the field, causing a loss of Daily Reports. There seems to be a lack of consistency between the iOS, Android App, Windows App, and Web Based Version that should be addressed. Workspaces has a lot of glitches, like you cannot delete or edit a file in documents, unless you are in the Windows App, then you can delete but not edit. Review Source ADC Aloima Daniela C.

Pros Autodesk Construction Cloud permet de gérer efficacement les projets de construction en centralisant les données, les documents et la communication au sein d'une même plateforme. Je l'ai découvert avec mon architecte lors de la construction de ma maison. Il s'est, en effet, servi de l'outil pour modéliser la construction et le plan à suivre pour la réalisation des appartements. Le logiciel est assez facile à prendre en main, efficace pour la gestion de projet de construction. Ce que j'ai aimé le plus, c'est qu'Autodesk Construction Cloud favorise la collaboration. J'avais une idée claire du travail que faisait l'architecte, les plombiers, les maçons, les électriciens grâce au partage de documents qui se faisait en temps réel. Cons Rien de négatif à signaler, j'apprécie vraiment Autodesk Construction Cloud, car il facilite la collaboration et la gestion de projets de construction. Review Source KM Kaleigh M. VDC Engineer Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Somewhat useful, but the program could use some better functions. " August 8, 2017 3.0 Being able to load and download different types of modeling content file types such as .dwg, .ifc, .nwd, and even .rvt. Merging models was extremely straight forward and useful as well. Pros How easily I am able to add, merge, and store models. Also, it is pretty easy to add members to a model along with understanding what the different membership levels allow. Cons The cutting planes can be really far from the navigation screen which makes it hard & confusing to use. It would useful to be able to alter the nearness & farness of the culling plane such as in Navisworks Manage. I understand that creating too large of an "area" to be viewed/understood by the program bogs down the model, which is trying to be avoided with GLUE in general. However, the near culling plane is sometimes just not cutting it (haha, I hope you enjoyed my pun). Also, people using GLUE specifically cannot create section planes or viewpoints in the iPad model, which makes the model hard for those using it out in the field that wish to save viewpoints or cut into a section of the building. Also in GLUE, it is nice to be able to lock measurements in the x, y, or z axis, but there is no shortcut to exit this mode and to go back to measuring in a 3-dimensional direction. The only way I have found it possible to get out of the dimension lock is by exiting the model & re-entering. GLUE is a great software honestly, but were pushing for the model to be a lot more user friendly & give trade engineers confidence to turn to the model to answer coordination questions easily. If the program becomes to hard to use or makes the model seem unreliable, then we have an issue. So far, a lot of people love the program, but going back and forth between Navisworks and GLUE, I notice some features in Navisworks Manage that the team would love to use. Review Source Qasm A.

Pros High level of efficiency and dramatically easier to use and do collaboration across multiple practices. Cons When the project gets to a certain size (very big for large scale developments which is primarily what BIM platforms are implemented for to manage) the functionality, performance and speed of the platform decreases notably and fails to generate 3d views and takes long to process new models and package shares.

Engineer Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Construction software out there" April 18, 2023 5.0 While Autodesk Development Cloud has a scope of noteworthy highlights and advantages, there are a couple of expected disadvantages to remember:Cost: Autodesk Development Cloud is an exceptional stage, and its evaluating might be far off for some more modest or moderate sized development firms. The stage's valuing is likewise intricate and can be challenging to comprehend, with extra expenses for add-on highlights.Expectation to learn and adapt: Likewise with any new programming, there can be an expectation to learn and adapt for colleagues who are curious about the stage. A few clients might require extra preparation and support to completely use every one of the elements of the stage, which can be tedious and exorbitant. Pros Incorporated stage: Autodesk Development Cloud gives a solitary stage to overseeing development projects from pre-development to handover. This implies that venture groups can team up, share information, and access all their task data in a single spot, which assists with smoothing out work processes and further develop correspondence.Adjustable work processes: The stage offers a serious level of customization, permitting clients to set up work processes that are custom-made to their particular requirements. This implies that venture groups can make processes that work for their specific task necessities, making it simpler to oversee complex activities. Cons It is not begginer friendly and its hard to use if you don't have experience Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Learning & Development Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Time Saving & Easy to Use" March 5, 2019 5.0 Overall, our experience with PlanGrid has been positive and we have more users on the tool than we originally anticipated because of the value it brings. The support and partnership both from our account reps and customer service is great - getting answers to our questions quickly. We also appreciate that they are open to product recommendations and ask us to participate in testing of the new functionality. Pros PlanGrid is simple and easy to use. Even our non-tech savvy people have easily transitioned to using the tool. The ability to pull up drawings and mark them up in the field saves our team time, and being able to submit field reports has increased report submission and speed (everything from dailies, safety reports, to cut sheets and more). The field report functionality was a game changer for us and adoption of the tool. Our field team likes that they can do all of these things in one place without the hassle of using multiple platforms or tools. On average, our team is saving two hours a week in time, some as many as 10-15 hours per week. Cons As a subcontractor, there is some functionality that we'd like to see changed or added to make the tool even more helpful that doesn't quite work for us right now. The RFI functionality doesn't let us use our own templates, but is in the process of being overhauled, which may help. Our field team would love to be able to make edits to documents and re-save them as documents rather than downloading, saving, and re-uploading them. Some of our team would also like better markup tools that match Bluebeam's functionality. PlanGrid isn't necessarily a project management tool, and they've shared it won't be. At some point we may look into a PM software integration to make managing projects more streamlined. For now, we're not able to complete all activities in the tool and have work arounds from the PM side. Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
