Users have found Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro to be an invaluable tool for various use cases in the construction industry. One key use case is its role in facilitating collaboration and coordination among project teams. With BIM Collaborate Pro, subcontractors can easily share BIM models and drawings with stakeholders, enabling efficient collaboration and preventing clashes before on-site execution. This has proven to be particularly helpful in resolving conflicts and ensuring that there are no clashes in the field, ultimately improving project outcomes.

Another significant use case of BIM Collaborate Pro is its contribution to quality control during construction progress. By providing a digital solution for managing inspections, observations, and issue management, the software streamlines quality control systems and reduces paperwork. This enhances efficiency by allowing quick accessibility to large data storage, reducing the number of punch list items that need to be addressed at the end of a project. Additionally, BIM Collaborate Pro's document management feature serves as a centralized location for subcontractors to access relevant contract documents, reference materials, and BIM information. This improves organization and accessibility, leading to smoother project workflows.

Furthermore, BIM Collaborate Pro has been praised for its positive impact on safety management on construction sites. The software facilitates collaboration among subcontractors by addressing safety requirements and root causes, ensuring a safer working environment. Its ability to store data such as checklists and safety documentation digitally allows for quick accessibility and reduces the risk of missing critical safety information.

Lastly, BIM Collaborate Pro plays a crucial role in client communication and understanding through visual representations of information. The software's capability to share visual models and drawings with clients enhances communication and helps clients grasp complex concepts more easily.

Overall, Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro proves to be a versatile tool that addresses various needs within the construction industry. Its features enable collaborative project coordination, problem detection, issue resolution, quality control improvement, enhanced safety management, streamlined document management, and effective client communication.

Bim360 coordination

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.
  • Allows office personnel to efficiently coordinate with other trades.
  • It allows field personnel to make decision on the fly if changes need to be made to the originally coordinated designs.
  • A little more user-friendly interface for taking measurements on the tablet would be helpful.
  • A better way for the field to upload pictures to specific points on a drawing.
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.

  • It makes our coordination process go a lot smoother.
  • The field really benefits from the possibility to visualize the 3D aspect of the software.
They are all very similar. It seems that Bim360 is easier to manage from the front end, which results in a better experience for all of the end users.
I haven't had to ask for much support. So the software is doing is job!

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

  • 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.
  • Reference Documents - Any additional as-builts, misc. documents or things we want to share with the subs, no more Engyte/Dropbox needed.
  • 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.
  • Provide access to updated contract drawings on the iPad and desktop applications.
  • BIM collaboration with Revit files.
  • Drawings load very fast.
  • CAD file collaboration is unstable.
  • Can not search the text of drawings or specs to find words. This is a huge deal breaker.
  • Cannot zoom in all the way on the drawing to see details blown up.
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.

  • Build it right, once.
  • Allow guys in the field easy access to updated info.
  • Always have the posted RFIs.
Integration with glue and field is the primary reason why Docs is better than PlanGrid. I would like for them to remove those silos however and have it under one platform. Unfortunately, it seems like Autodesk swallows up all the small companies so you are more likely to have more integrations when selecting the Autodesk platform. Also, the admin platform is much better than older Autodesk software.
AutoDesk support is slow and if you are not an enterprise customer they will likely tell you to go to forums and post for help pushing the support on the high-level end-users (some of which are AutoDesk employees). I haven't actually had issues requiring support with docs altough there are some features I wish it had.
