About
Cloud-based construction management and collaboration platform for document sharing, design coordination, and field management. Predecessor to Autodesk Construction Cloud with large existing user base.
How teams use it
By audience
- Architecture
- Publishes Revit and other design models to BIM 360 Docs as the team's common data environment, with version history so consultants always reference the latest set.
- Uses Design Collaboration to share work-in-progress and consumed packages across disciplines while keeping each firm's models in separate, controlled team spaces.
- Runs Model Coordination to surface clashes between architectural, structural, and MEP models early, reducing rework before drawings are issued.
- Manages drawing/sheet sets and markups in Docs, controlling who sees published versus in-progress documents through folder permissions.
- Responds to RFIs and reviews submittals tied to design intent during construction administration.
- Construction Management
- Operates Docs as the single source of truth for drawings, specs, models, and project documents with role-based permissions across all project members.
- Tracks and routes RFIs and submittals through structured review workflows, keeping an auditable record of responses and approvals.
- Uses Field Management to log issues, checklists, and quality/safety inspections from the jobsite via the mobile app.
- Reviews automated clash and coordination results from Model Coordination to drive constructability and reduce field conflicts.
- Monitors project health through dashboards reporting on open issues, RFIs, and documentation status.
- General Contracting
- Distributes the latest released drawings and models to subcontractors and field crews through Docs, eliminating outdated-set rework.
- Runs daily field workflows in Field Management: punch lists, quality and safety checklists, and issue tracking with photos from mobile devices.
- Coordinates trade models in Model Coordination to resolve MEP/structural clashes before installation begins.
- Manages the RFI and submittal pipeline with subs and the design team, keeping approvals and turnaround times documented.
- Uses sheet sets, markups, and 2D/3D viewing in the field so crews build from verified, current information.
By phase
- Design
- Hosts the common data environment in Docs where architects and engineers publish and version models and drawings.
- Enables multi-discipline Design Collaboration with controlled package sharing between separate team workspaces.
- Runs early clash detection via Model Coordination so design conflicts are resolved before documents are finalized.
- Centralizes design reviews, markups, and approval workflows to keep stakeholders aligned on the current intent.
- Pre-Construction
- Aggregates trade and design models in Model Coordination to identify and assign clashes before work is mobilized.
- Establishes the document control structure, folder permissions, and roles that the project will use through construction.
- Distributes bid/IFC drawing sets and supporting documents to subcontractors and the project team via Docs.
- Stands up RFI and submittal workflows so review cycles are ready when construction begins.
- Construction
- Delivers the current released drawings and models to the field through the Docs mobile and web apps, preventing rework from stale sets.
- Drives daily Field Management activity: issue tracking, quality/safety checklists, and punch lists captured on-site.
- Processes RFIs and submittals through structured review and approval workflows with full audit trails.
- Continues Model Coordination to catch and resolve clashes ahead of trade installation.
- Reports progress and open items via dashboards so teams act on issues, RFIs, and document status.
