Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This cloud based design collaboration and design management software allows us to organize multiple project data and connecting a lot of departments in order to hit the dead lines faster. Also project visibility and accessibility improves working with project templates, shared design packages and managing data exchange on multidiscipline and various projects.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is very efficient to set up projects using configurable templates for files, issues, and roles. Data management is easy to be understood by many users. As we have multiple users that are located in different areas in the world, it allows managing multi-discipline teams in only one environment. Clash analysis on shared models saves us time too.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For the last eight months, I have been working on BIM, and BIM Collaborate Pro is one we use to collaborate on our projects. Our team works on several projects simultaneously, and our clients work on the same with ease. It helps our clients have daily updates on projects as they use BIM C pro, where they can use our projects and compare them with their projects simultaneously.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well, most of my time is spent in architecture, but I have to look for structure, MEP, etc. So I have got different people for this job, and instead of submitting different plans for each unit, I would rather collaborate with them and explain all elements of a model to the client, which is more helpful.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used Bim360 as a user on a few projects. This helps us to share our BIM models and drawings to shareholders, review them, and get the thing in right without any clashes prior to carrying it out on-site. We use BIM360 extensively for our coordination work between our subcontractors. We had our modeling departments resolve conflicts between trades and then by building off the models that we access in the field using BIM360. Bim360 is well suited for hosting drawings and sharing normal-sized files with people. This software allows us to quickly find problems and resolve the issues.

Likelihood to Recommend

I used this software almost every day and recommend it to subcontractors all the time. It is best for the design professional and not for the construction professional. Collation of data at project completion was the major benefit of this software which was backed up by the ability to attach evidence at checklist creation. BIM 360 is a building information modeling product that offers to share data and project designs. There is not much that I dislike about this platform at this time but this software can sometimes be very slow when trying to synchronize and that could make you lose time in your design.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Autodesk BIM 360 is used to access documents and submittals for the purpose of LEED consulting by our organization. Typically the construction manager will invite us to the project in order for us to review relevant documentation. Occasionally we will need to surf the entire site to find relevant information, but ideally we are searching within one folder labeled as "LEED" for the submittals and then search for other necessary info under the schedule and specs folders.

Likelihood to Recommend

Autodesk Bim 360 is well suited to the majority of construction projects in my opinion. On the construction side I could see how the straightforward nature of the platform would be well liked. The new update with the widgets is a great touch and allows for ease of site visits by showcasing good to know info like project location on a map and the local weather. You can also customize the "widgets" as you see fit to add more information if necessary to the home screen. From my experience as a LEED consultant, Bim 360 does not differ much from other platforms used for submittal review like Procore. It is easy enough to search for what you want but searches do take a while and you need to move the cursor over every time you search and do not find what you're looking for, which seems very unnecessary. Overall it is fine for reviewing documentation but isn't anything extraordinary.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Bim360 as a user on projects. The general contractors/architects provide the drawings for us to use on the PC in the office and tablets in the field. It allows us to detect clashes with our designs as an MEP subcontractor. This type of coordination then makes its way to the field for their use to further coordinate the installation.

Likelihood to Recommend

Field use is extremely helpful. it saves a lot of phone calls with questions back to the office. When 2 trades need to coordinate who has to move, it is a great tool for the conversation and speed of coming up with a solution that benefits everyone. It keeps the decision easy for who needs to relocate.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At our company BIM 360 Document Management is being used for three primary functions:

<ul><li>Contract Documents - This is the location where subcontractors go to get the posted set of RFIs that have been vetted by our team and are to be proceeded on. This is how we manage the information that subcontractors should see vs. not see.</li><li> Reference Documents - Any additional as-builts, misc. documents or things we want to share with the subs, no more Engyte/Dropbox needed.</li><li>BIM information - Turns out BIM 360 Docs is great for the work-sharing of Revit files. AutoCAD does not seem to be stable especially with Xrefs. Cant wait to see this get consolidated with the GLUE file platform. </li></ul>

Likelihood to Recommend

Bim360 is well suited for hosting drawings and sharing normal sized files with people. Most subcontractors are now using Plangrid and other software which do not contain the "posted set" so they do not have all the RFIs they are supposed to proceed on unless they open docs and match the posted that the GC has done on docs. This results in them always chasing/updating the posting set, falling behind, and building old work.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bim360 is being used primarily as the cloud storage location and method of collaboration for all of our Autodesk Revit models. It is also being used for project coordination and CA on select projects.

Likelihood to Recommend

Bim360 is well suited for collaboration of Revit models with other organizations. It is not appropriate for much else in its current state, but the potential for greatness is there for many aspects of project management and CA.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company uses Bim360 to create 3D digital models of project to coordinate work and ensure that everything functions as a holistic system. The software allows us to quickly find problems and resolve the issues. It is also an excellent way to share information in an easy to understand visual representation with clients.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great to track punch list items and closeout issues. It is good for infield use and is an easy to use app. We rely on the software not only for clash detection, but also for visually communicating information to clients in an easy to understand manner. I have not personally used the software for commissioning, but I am interested in trying it so we

can link to our 360 Glue Revit models.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently using it for active design projects within one of our offices. The main issue BIM360 is addressing for us is the ability to have live updates between files. The communicator feature gives us the ability to monitor who is in a file and what activity they are accomplishing. Some of the other features allow for non-Revit users to review and comment on documents during the design process as well.

Likelihood to Recommend

The best scenario BIM360 is suited for is when you have multiple consultants working on a project. Another good time is when you use a sub-consultant on a project and the sub-consultant needs live access to the files. A scenario where it is less appropriate is when the design team is in the company or when live updates are not necessary.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

<div>COFICO is using Bim360 across whole organization. Vietnamese construction culture is unfamiliar with digital; we like an online/cloud data server because it is very helpful, but digital submittals are not allowed because Vietnam construction laws require paper submittals. Bim360 is an online solution for Construction Management. It includes Bim360 Doc, which is the cloud server that stores construction data and documents, giving project team members the ability to review design drawings, coordinate multi trades in 3D environment, and collaborate in real time.</div><div>

Bim360 Field is an online platform that changes construction culture, from paperwork to digital work. It gives project team members the ability to control construction safety and quality, to manage issues and design changes, to submit/RFI digitally on a computer, tablet, etc.</div>

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a good digital construction management tool and cloud-based construction data management solution.
