Autodesk Construction Cloud

Plangrid

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.

Autodesk Construction Cloud

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.

Not my favorite software

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

Excellent tool for collaboration in the construction field.

Comments: Our biggest use is Revit model cloud collaboration. We are attempting to use it more for document control.

Pros:

Many different features all in one location.

Cons:

Some of the features need work. Model coordination works well for an overview, but its lacking for extensive coordination. Docs specifications needs the ability for markup. And that's just a few examples. Overall, needs fine tuning, buts its been getting better each year.

Autodesk Construction Cloud

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.
