Autodesk Inc. The best-in-class construction management app for Autodesk Build, Autodesk BIM Collaborate, Autodesk Docs and PlanGrid that makes it easy for teams on more than 2.5 million projects to manage their construction projects. Construction teams leverage Autodesk Construction Cloud’s simple automation, smart connections between tools, and comprehensive workflows to deliver quality construction projects on time and under budget. The Autodesk Construction Cloud mobile app brings Autodesk Build, Autodesk BIM Collaborate, Autodesk Docs, Revit, Navisworks, PlanGrid and AutoCAD to the field with construction and document management, collaboration tools, and project data available from anywhere. Autodesk Construction Cloud is made for the project team, like… • the superintendent managing the quality of work on site • the project manager tracking progress in real-time • the BIM team identifying issues ahead of installation • the architect doing a site walk • and the owner leveraging construction data and as-builts to improve daily operations Here's how we do it. CONSTRUCTION COLLABORATION + Issues Track issues, from design to handover, all in one place. Resolve issues faster by adding due dates, responsible parties, and easily reference photos, associated files, and RFIs. + Schedule Keep projects on track with a centralized schedule. View the schedule by different timespans or filter by critical items, review dependencies, and assess schedule suggestions. + Forms Gather critical information with forms that adapt to project requirements. Build a comprehensive safety program or track daily checklists. + Assets Easily manage the lifecycle of project assets from design through commissioning and handover. Assets are tracked, stored, and connected to other workflows in the app. + Meeting Minutes Stay ahead of the next meeting by creating meetings or meeting agenda items. Link to references like issues, models, RFIs, or photos. Check the status of outstanding items and follow up, all from the field. FILE MANAGEMENT + Sheets and Drawings Quickly access the latest drawings and shared plans with quick downloads and dynamic search. Compare, share, and markup sheets directly from the field to take the guesswork out of installation. + Models Make critical decisions faster with access to 3D models in the field. View installation details and effortlessly navigate single or multi-trade models to build with confidence. Supports Revit and AutoCAD file types and many more including RVT, DWG, NWC, IFC, NWD. QUALITY CONTROL  + RFIs Reduce the risk of data loss with seamless RFI management. Connect RFIs across the project lifecycle to cut down on duplicate work. + Submittals Keep all relevant submittal information on hand. With search, quickly find the necessary submittal to view progress and next steps. + Photos Use photos to track progress and add references to issues, RFIs, schedule activities, and more. With autotags and location data, quickly find the photo you need. See what our customers have to say: "The ability to access 3D models from the field eliminates confusion and allows us to come to a real-time resolution for any issues onsite. This capability reduces risk and provides cost and time savings while ensuring we deliver high-quality projects to our clients." Briana Mitchell, Project Manager, Boldt Company "We have about 460 field employees and for them to access documents in real-time directly on their iPhone or their iPad is priceless." Ken Mabe, Director of Field Operations, Eckardt Group "I'm excited about being able to effortlessly tag a snippet from a drawing onto an RFI and immediately assign responsibilities and track how the project team interacts with a particular issue or RFI. The ability to track an issue's progression in real-time helps us manage any roadblocks immediately." Amy Kozlowski, Project Manager, Herrero Builders

I am somewhat of a beginner when it comes to PlanGrid Build. I was introduced to PB about two years ago, and I could not make it through one day without it now. Having an entire set of prints with me, right here in my tablet at all times is awesome. Not to mention being able to pull up an RFI, to discuss an issue while half a mile from the trailer is top notch. I haven’t even began to talk about the ability to take and log photos at the push of a button, “literally”…push of a button.. what’s that you say,?? Can I edit photos and markup prints?? The answer is yes. Everything you need is right here on PGBuild. And no I am not a paid spokesman for PGB, just an extremely satisfied customer.. good day to all and be safe.

Great option if team is fully committed, not for everyone

I am an HVAC contractor. I was was talked into using this by a builder I worked with in order to “play ball”. Initially, I was stoked about this. We took the training, and I thought this was the best thing I had seen! Then we started using it, and I quickly realized it’s only a timesaver if everyone on the team (builder side & fellow subs) use it, otherwise it is a management headache for the few dedicated people that are committed. I burned out after a couple projects, and now use something else that fits why I do at a lot lower cost, and is not tied into a closed ecosystem. This only works well if the entire team uses it, otherwise you are back to static PDF’s & chasing plan revisions. Some of the tools are great like the measuring tools. Others that are basic drawing tools for highlighting/markups are very outdated, limited & clunky to use. The worst part of this is the contract. If you decide you don’t want this anymore, make sure you give the required 30 day notice. When I inquired to how to cancel, I was told that I was stuck with it because I didn’t give the required notice, and was referred to the contract. Nice. Of course we are stuck with the contract, but when the response I receive is a “gotcha” it didn’t improve my outlook on their customer service

App Battery Usage is beyond unnecessary

I’ve used PlanGrid for a while, I am a Project Engineer along with a good understanding of computer programming, scripting, etc etc.I will have to say this App is just absolutely absurd with the amount of background activity it’s performing or whatever it’s doing, to the point where I’m convinced this is a farming app. It’s done nothing but gotten worse. I have background app refresh off, I use the iPad Air M1, that is fairly new as I had it replaced 2-3 months ago. Just today, I get into work, open the app view my surveys. It claims the app was on screen for 5 hours, which is not true at all, if anything, maybe 2 hours on screen, with 18 minutes in the background, using 69% of my battery. The reason I know the screen time is incorrect, is because my iPad auto locks after 1 minute, along with how my day went today. I notice often that this simple app, simply makes my iPad fairly warm also, even with it locked. If I close the app, my iPad can just sit in my bag on 100% all day with no use, even opening up my iPad the next day and seeing 99%. If I leave the app open, my iPad will be dead in around 8 hours times. Again App refresh is fully disabled. There is obviously some issue, and it needs to be fixed.

Good for plans … not much for anything else

Where to start.. The positive: great markup tool for plans and reliable distribution to the field personnel … The negative: The administration of this tool is horrible if you have anymore than a handful of users and projects. We have over 100 and 70 users … need to add a new user to each project ? Go to every project and add their email … type their email in wrong ? oh too bad there are no checks to see if that email exists within your org. File uploading has no granularity of settings … no hyper links to external files sources … no way to see any cross user metrics except who is modifying project data … no way to see if client apps need to be upgraded … just to start. Some of these things could be fixed via api scripting or the workato automation … so i’m paying for an app i need to script ? Project management tools are worthless at scale. So if you buy this to distribute and collaborate plans … fine.. but it does not scale, and there are cheaper products without the worthless project management part.
