Plangrid

5.0 last year

Comments: Great. The app is extremely intuative so the learning curve is reduced and simple. Just looks more complicated then it really is.

Pros:

Document viewing the Field is a necessity. Linking RFI's and submittals to the drawings makes things clear and reduces misses during construction.

Cons:

Sometimes sync issue while uploading photos and documents while changing from WIFI to LTE. Sometimes the sync needs to be cleared and redone.

All hands on deck

5.0 6 months ago

Pros:

I absolutely love the Compare tool. new to a project and having the ability to see what has happened, changed and catch up is an amazing perk. this all depends on the effort put into keeping things up to date. Best case scenario, its hands down the best tool to have that I have not seen in other software.

Cons:

limited access to or no access to Bim model or clash. it should be available overall because some clashes may be overlooked as it would not pertain directly to the coordinator. I personally think it should be included with no ability to edit but to help communicate overlooked clashes in the model

Alternatives Considered: Procore

Reasons for Choosing Autodesk Construction Cloud: it was a requirement with the new project that everything be on Build

Not my favorite software

3.0 2 months ago

Pros:

Not really sure. I have to pay as a sub for my own subscription when a GC uses it and there is a ton of information on here that is never used that just jumbles everything up

Cons:

The fact that I have to pay to use this software as a subcontractor when there are so many other software's that the GC pays for so we don't have to. Lot's of products far superior

Your One-Stop PM Shop

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Overall, very good; had hiccups early on but ACC has devoted more resources and server support to ensure that interruptions are infrequent and that user requests are addressed accordingly.

Pros:

One stop shop for all of our project management needs across a multitude of projects nationwide.

Cons:

Some of the features can be more of a "lagging indicator" instead of being useful in real-time updates.

Autodesk Construction Cloud

4.0 last year

Comments: 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

Reasons for Choosing Autodesk Construction Cloud: We needed something more robust as we grew from smaller remodeling projects to large ground-up construction projects.

Switched From: GiddyUp

Reasons for Switching to Autodesk Construction Cloud: Less expensive and could do everything ProCore did.

Autodesk Construction Cloud

5.0 last year

Pros:

The ease of uploading sheets and files to communicate with field staff is great. The new calibration tool improved accuracy now that you can set the scale and not relay on the 2 pt configuration.

Cons:

The BIM viewing errors out often. Viewing document on a mobile device is great you can search pretty easy. On a computer its nots as convenient. Sometimes zooming in on prints takes a while to load or needs to be refreshed.

Alternatives Considered: Procore

Reasons for Switching to Autodesk Construction Cloud: We started with PLangrid so the switch was pretty simple. Procore is a little more expensive at the moment.

Happy with Autodesk CC

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Overall our users are happy with Construction Cloud. We used to host our files internally but since moving to CC it has made a big difference as far as ease of accessing and maintaining files

Pros:

Safe and secure place to keep working files. It is great for onsite/offsite collabs. Easy learning curve for users

Cons:

It is pricey per seat. As with any cloud product, internet and product uptime dependency is always a risk

Most impactful review

5.0 last year

Comments: I can describe in a few words, the productivity and efficiency working collaboratively with the work and the office as a whole has been totally enriching.

Pros:

I think that the way of saving and organizing all the files in the same source of truth DOCS is one of the things that has made my productivity easier in my day using ACC. The second is BUILD, the connection between the field and our office. It has been one of the most significant advances in our work workflow on the construction site.

Cons:

I think that in BUILD the way the sheets are organized can be improved, recently you did an update on a way of organizing called collection, it's not bad, it has given me the way to find the shop drawings sets more easily, but after they are in the collection folder that I have created and I cannot take the sheets out from there again, you should create a simpler way to be able to locate the version set more easily, because it gets complicated when I have many, I take them out at least a week 8 shop drawings set, imagine there are around 32 minimum sets per month, it has been difficult for us on many occasions to find a particular set, that is, more than a filter is needed, so it is better to be able to organize by folders.

Comments: We could work with international labour hire due to the tight integration of ACC with Autodesk AEC products.

Pros:

It is easy to deploy and manage, the inclusion of project creation templates makes creating projects easy and adding multiple team members as companies as well as providing access to resources in a granular way.

Cons:

Nothing really, it is a good cloud platform for AEC professionals.

Innovation and technology in construction: my experience using Autodesk Construction Cloud"

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: My experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud working for more or less a year has been exceptionally enriching, since I had to be the designer of a structure for a network connection of a company because this platform greatly simplified the organization of documents, the programming of tasks and collaboration between teams. And something very important was his ability to visualize and analyze projects in 3D, improving the understanding of architectural designs and the way in which they translate into reality so that the engineers in charge of construction can do a more complete and perfect job. Without a doubt, a product that I would use again.

Pros:

I worked more or less with Autodesk Construction Cloud for a year and what I liked the most about this tool was the perfect integration it had with other Autodesk products, such as AutoCAD and Revit, thanks to this it facilitated collaboration and the exchange of information between equipment. In addition, its 3D analysis and visualization function allowed us to have a clearer and more detailed vision of our projects, improving decision-making and thus minimizing errors during the design and construction stage.

Cons:

In a matter of negative points I have 2, the first is that the platform can be a bit complex to use, especially for those who are not familiar with Autodesk products, since I already had knowledge, it was not difficult for me to learn how to use it. And another point is that I consider that its cost is very high, of course the price is due to the fact that it has many functionalities, but not all of them are always needed, so we cannot exploit it 100%.

Great Project tracking program

5.0 last year

Comments: Overall I thinks its a great tool for project management.

Pros:

I like that i can see the project progress as well as keep all documents associated with said projects in the same spot for everyone to view.

Cons:

GCs expect that we all have experience in all of these various project management programs. they're all different in their own ways and usually difficult to navigate at first. There should be tutorial videos for each of these programs.
