Autodesk Forma Build review

Autodesk now sells its construction platform under the Forma name, and Forma Build is the product general contractors compare with Procore. The Construction Operations bundle combines Forma Build, Forma Data Management, AutoSpecs and Pype Closeout. Listed capabilities include a mobile app for the field that works offline, document management, data federation, reporting, issue management, project management, an automatic submittal log, cost management, quality management, safety management and project closeout. Separate bundles cover preconstruction, with takeoff, estimating and bid management through BuildingConnected and ProEst, and model management, with model coordination and Navisworks. Every bundle and product is sold by quote, and Autodesk offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. We compared documented features and published prices; Forma Build has a deep commercial feature set and a clear advantage for teams already working in Autodesk models, but the lack of public pricing and the number of products to choose from lower its value and ease scores.

Who it is for

Large commercial and infrastructure contractors already working with Autodesk design models.
