Autodesk Construction Cloud Reviews & Product Details

Autodesk Construction Cloud is a game changer! I love being able to host projects/models on this platform. Distribution of documents is fantastic. It feels super interconnected to everything. Everything is integrated. It's just a really impressive product that feels like it bridges many things that used to feel completely disconnected. It's very simple to use. And we use it for everything now. It's easy to begin using. And it feels well supported. Weconstantly finding new ways to use it. It's just great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I want to be able to add more people to our projects on ACC. I cannot transmit a document hosted on ACC to someone that does not have an Autodesk seat. Sometimes we have to get the documents to those people. And requiring them to purchase a seat so they can receive our transmittal seems like a little too much to ask. We sometimes end up using the transmittal tool as a tracker rather than how it was intended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PROJECT SCHEDULER instead of having the import of the project file

Extra milestones to be synced with the timeline function in build Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All my project data available any time anywhere. The integration directly into my CAD package makes it seamless to save and open files keeping them upto date complete with history versions as an automatic backup provides utility and a peace of mind.

The capacity to create project teams members, share and collaborate with different permission settings is a game changer compare to traditional local server based storage.

When opening Revit or AutoCAD the most recent files are right in front, easy to get to, making day to day usage a smooth process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the many features that ACC offers it is not and EDM, Electronic Document Manager, meaning cataloguing drawings with project, client and numbering details cannot connect directly to project files and the title blocks as far as I am aware, so it is not yet drawing management system.

What I enjoy most about the ACC is the collaboration between teams and software for projects. Some other key componets are the ease in which we maintain the project team and the profiles around the project teams for access to models. The ACC is also an easy integration for project team members who are not as fluent on the computer because the ACC is more user friendly than other options on the market.

My dislikes about the ACC are the one folder setup option in the Design Collaborate module, We need to be able to swap folders as a project grows or as things change. I am also not a fan of the clash system in the ACC after getting used to Navisworks and Revizto. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is a one stop shop for all project management needs. It is a file repository system for collabarative file sharing, drawing review, schedule, RFI's and Submittals, BIM model view and clash detection as well as tender and cost management plus more. Using the software is fairly intuitive and easy to learn. Implementing the software went fairly well however it was done in a staged manner over a long period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an end user there probably isn't much to dislike. Some areas of improvement could be the drawing markup and measuring capabalities. This is fairly weak in comparison to what Bluebeam software can do. As a company who purchases the software, I think Autodesk should provide free training on how to use every module of the program that was purchased. Customer support is adequate however it feels like they need more direct and experienced people to handle technical questions on how the software should and can work.

In my role as a quantity surveyor my main use of ACC is for tender/bid management and drawing reviews. The feature I like best from ACC would be the easy access to the various models for swift reviews of details accompanied with the facility to take measurements directly from this also. Allows for easy cross checking while compiling bills of quantities and the like. I also like the drawing comparison feature which overlays two revisions with one another and highlights where the differences are. During the ever changing process within a live tender this is a life saver for ensuring we capture the design as it evolves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RFI's. At present we need to raise an RFI in a seperate section of the system and upload/reference the drawings that have been reviewed as part of the RFI however, previously this was more seamless with the RFI's being noted against the drawings in question.

Ive been using ACC for almost 2 years now within my role as a Project Manager and really like some of their features such as issues and Issues, RFI and Correspondence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is different in that it is an AutoCad software so it opens files and drawings in a vector form and is not always very easy to read or review as the loading is not very fast. It's better to download a large file and use a PDF reader rather than click page to page as it loads. This is by far the one feature that I would like to see changed. It's great for looking at drawings but not to review paperwork documents like contracts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Construction Cloud is as straightforward as it gets. I work in an environment where I have to collaborate with people from multiple countries, and ACC makes it a breeze. I can keep track of all the updates and changes to the models. The reviewing tools for the models and drawings are really easy to use, and it integrates with my Autodesk apps very well. A key advantage of ACC is its ability to enable individuals without extensive technical knowledge of 3D modeling tools to use the platform effectively. I have yet to explore all the features that ACC offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't faced any major issues with ACC, but there are still a couple of minor ones that I've come across. When publishing 3D models from Revit, any CAD underlay linked to the model won't be properly visible in the ACC model. Another issue is the long waiting time when publishing large models. If the model is large and there are many linked Revit models, then publishing takes a considerable amount of time, which is somewhat expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you've been using PlanGrid, you’ll probably love ACC! I’ve been using PlanGrid for about six years and recently started working with ACC. It’s incredibly user-friendly—honestly, even easier in some ways. For example, handling submittals is now much simpler.

One feature I absolutely love is the Specifications tab. In PlanGrid, I just had a folder in the Documents section, but in ACC, specifications have their own dedicated tab and are treated like sheets. When updates come in, the process to update and identify changes is seamless.

The upgrade to the Sheets functionality from PlanGrid is another huge improvement. I can’t wait to dive deeper into this program, use it to its full potential, and watch my projects run more smoothly than ever before! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things I appreciated about PlanGrid was its simplicity. Many of my field workers get overwhelmed when using technology, so keeping things straightforward is essential. I’ve just started using ACC, and while I’m not entirely sure yet, I’d love to set up a field configuration where workers only see what they need without being exposed to all the options. They often worry about making mistakes and accidentally causing problems.

I know ACC offers permission settings, which is fantastic. My team is currently the test group for transitioning from PlanGrid to ACC, and so far, I haven’t noticed any significant downsides to moving all new projects to ACC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interoperability is a notable feature of ACC, facilitating the sharing of models and information in diverse formats with clients and enabling feedback reception within a unified environment.

Our experience with ACC on large projects characterized by intricate specialties has been notably positive. It equips us with the requisite functionalities to effectively observe, provide input on, and maintain oversight of the project components. ACC has consistently proven to be a dependable and valuable asset in our professional undertakings.

The model coordination module within ACC is particularly commendable for its practicality in enhancing design coordination. It simplifies collaboration among various specialties utilizing different software, thereby enhancing the efficiency of issue resolution processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have noticed some areas for potential improvement in ACC regarding metadata on documentation. Since we have not yet explored the most recent update, we are unable to provide a definitive assessment. It is essential for us to have a document control system with additional features to visualize the BIM model and effectively monitor the design progress.

The clarity of the revision window interface could be enhanced as some users find it challenging to determine when a revision has started or in which state it currently stands.

Given our company's primary focus on design work, the Insight module is not frequently utilized as it predominantly caters to construction-related insights, which do not align with our core operations. We are seeking dashboards tailored to design control rather than construction phase management, which falls outside our area of expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
