If you are a commercial contractor or subcontractor, Autodesk AEC Collection, along with other Autodesk software is a must. There is no other way to design estimate and plan large construction. For residential construction, It may not be as necessary but it could still be useful if your primary construction projects are new builds rather than renovations.

Since my favorite feature is that it brings everyone together, I find it appropriate to interpret it from this perspective. The platform created for all project stakeholders to work together in real time helps increase project efficiency, reduce errors and minimize delays. It creates real-time data, analysis and reporting that will ensure increased and high project performance, which is a quantitative contribution to project management.

  • It is a bit expensive for small construction companies or project offices, and it is more difficult to reach, especially for countries with high exchange rates such as Turkey.
  • It cannot integrate with other non-Autodesk software we use within the company.
  • Being dependent on the internet is a problem. Of course, I know that being cloudy requires internet, but it may be an advantage to at least keep the used files in its own memory for a while.

I gave a rating of 10 because, thus far, Autodesk AEC Collection Seems to be on the leading edge for what is required for the construction planning, implementation, and continued of real-world assets. Autodesk has been a great benefit for our organization and has allowed us to continue to improve not only ourselves but the people we work with. We have been using Autodesk AEC Collection for a number of years and hope to continue for a long time coming.

Usability

The software has a significant learning curve. You also must know and understand construction standards and codes. Each member of our BIM team has spent 10+ years in construction and has had years of software training. The software also requires powerful computers to render the models. Without a BIM focused gpu and processor, the software will seem less usable when in reality, the computer is not capable of running the software properly
