Autodesk Construction Cloud Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Document viewing the Field is a necessity. Linking RFI's and submittals to the drawings makes things clear and reduces misses during construction.

Nachteile

Sometimes sync issue while uploading photos and documents while changing from WIFI to LTE. Sometimes the sync needs to be cleared and redone.

Vorteile

One stop shop for all of our project management needs across a multitude of projects nationwide.

Nachteile

Some of the features can be more of a "lagging indicator" instead of being useful in real-time updates.

Vorteile

One stop shop for files as it relates to a project.

Nachteile

User friendliness for issue creation and the inability to populate rfi on a sheet like previous versions allowed.

Vorteile

I absolutely love the Compare tool. new to a project and having the ability to see what has happened, changed and catch up is an amazing perk. this all depends on the effort put into keeping things up to date. Best case scenario, its hands down the best tool to have that I have not seen in other software.

Nachteile

limited access to or no access to Bim model or clash. it should be available overall because some clashes may be overlooked as it would not pertain directly to the coordinator. I personally think it should be included with no ability to edit but to help communicate overlooked clashes in the model

Vorteile

being able to work on projects from different locations and have the project updating as you continue work is great.

Nachteile

rarely there will be loading errors and some info could be lost.

Vorteile

Safe and secure place to keep working files. It is great for onsite/offsite collabs. Easy learning curve for users

Nachteile

It is pricey per seat. As with any cloud product, internet and product uptime dependency is always a risk

Vorteile

Better form of coordination, clash detection between all trades

Nachteile

Everyone in the project must know how to use Autodesk CC in order for smooth sailing

Vorteile

I like the ability to collaborate with consultants.

Nachteile

I wish it was more intuitive for general users.

Vorteile

The program is free and easy to use and It helps in developing skills

Nachteile

It is difficult to download and install on the device

Vorteile

I like seemless collaboration capabilities

Nachteile

It is bit expensive, i would love it if the cost is little less.

Vorteile

Intuitive and ergonomic functionality. It keeps files up to date and automatically supersedes old files.

Nachteile

The cost to share with other team members. If I have a project that has multiple subs that have a Project Manager, Asst Project Manager, Field Superintendent and Foreman who need to have the most updated drawings and each has to pay the fee then it gets pricey on their end. So I think Plan Grid should sell package/licenses s to subcontractor teams so they can distribute to their team in-house which you screen through their email address.

Autodesk Construction Cloud is a comprehensive platform that offers a wide range of features for construction project management. However, some of the most impactful features include:Document management: The platform's document management capabilities allow users to store, organize, and share project-related documents, drawings, and other files in a centralized location. This feature is particularly valuable for large construction projects, where managing multiple versions of documents and ensuring that all stakeholders have access to the most up-to-date information can be challenging.Task management: The task management feature in Autodesk Construction Cloud allows project managers and teams to create and assign tasks, set deadlines, and track progress in real-time. This feature is especially valuable for ensuring that project milestones and deadlines are met, and that all team members are aware of their responsibilities.Collaboration tools: Autodesk Construction Cloud includes a variety of collaboration tools that make it easy for teams to work together on construction projects. For example, users can share files and documents, communicate in real-time, and track project changes and updates.Reporting and analytics: The platform's reporting and analytics capabilities provide project managers and stakeholders with valuable insights into project performance and progress. Users can generate customizable reports that provide KPIs, metrics, and visualizations, which can b

Nachteile

Integration with other software: While Autodesk Construction Cloud offers a comprehensive set of features, some users have expressed the desire for better integration with other software tools, such as accounting or scheduling software. Improved integration could streamline workflows and reduce the need for manual data entry.Enhanced customizability: While the platform offers a range of customization options, some users have expressed the desire for greater flexibility in customizing workflows and dashboards to meet their specific needs.Improved user interface: Some users have found the platform's user interface to be complex and challenging to navigate. Simplifying the user interface could improve the user experience and reduce the learning curve for new users.More advanced project management features: While Autodesk Construction Cloud offers a robust set of project management tools, some users have requested more advanced features, such as resource leveling, risk management, or advanced scheduling options.More robust mobile capabilities: While the platform offers a mobile app, some users have requested additional features, such as offline access to project information or the ability to take measurements or photos directly within the app.

Vorteile

Design stage integration and workflow
Revit -> Glue -> Navisworks (clash +Model Coordination) -> Field

Nachteile

no single sign on, no mature Document management

Vorteile

I like that you can add consultants, architects, engineers, Owners, etc. I like the fact that you can add comments and pictures to issues. This makes it effective when using on an ipad in the field. I think the comments should come with a signature so we know who made the comment instead of having to type it manually and it should also be date and time stamped. This is effective in tracking open items and seeing when they are closed.

Nachteile

Uploading drawings and other documents is a nightmare. There has got to be an easier way than waiting minutes for the drawings to upload and jam up my computer.
The same applies to syncing. It shouldn't take several minutes to sync wirelessly. It was painful having to wait for the ipad app to sync. And if you don't sync you can lose everything if something happens to the ipad. This did happen to some of our team members, painful.

Vorteile

The ease of collating records on completion of a project has been huge as has day to day monitoring of checks and issues. Supporting evidence attached immediately to a checklist has also been of great benefit reducing the risk of losing information. The availability of analyzing issues has improved the approach to recording of such information and encouraged the Health & Safety triangle approach to recording minor issues and the hope of decreasing the occurrence of more major Non-Conformances.

Nachteile

An ability to sign off particular queries within a checklist would be a great improvement allowing the monitoring of HOLD points within works which can only be done by splitting Checklists up under the current system.
Digital signatures through iPads are not accurate and become less so when pads are holding a lot of data. We cannot issue iPads to everyone within a project and thus cannot sign off through individual log-ins but a system to sign in as a signatory and have that recognized within the checklist history would be of great benefit.
Functionality on browsers for the desktop access varies and does not allow certain actions on certain browsers. Our client does not have the freedom to download browsers and are locked out by the network administration so a more uniform performance on these platforms would be beneficial.

Vorteile

The ability to host, comment, and share a virtual construction model makes ACC stand out from the crowd.

Nachteile

Using buildertrend currently as an "all in one" solution, ACC lacks the built in scheduling and purchasing aspects with other portions of the management suite outsourced to subsidiaries (take off, estimating, schedule). This makes it costly with multiple programs to manage. Web browser also lags on a mac with model viewing and the rest of the system is not built with the mac user in mind. Least favourite part is that it does not eliminate or reduce the amount of systems and bring it all in one but just bolts on and still requires the use of even excel, word, google drive, gmail, project etc.

Vorteile

As a construction industry professional, I was intrigued to test out Autodesk Construction Cloud. One of the major benefits I found was the platform's ability to provide a centralized location to manage all aspects of my projects. The software offered strong features for project management, document control, and collaboration, which made it easier to oversee multiple projects simultaneously.

Nachteile

While there were certain limitations to using Autodesk Construction Cloud, I did encounter some disadvantages while using the platform. I found the software interface to be quite complex, and the navigation was sometimes confusing, which impacted my ability to fully leverage the software features. Additionally, the software relies heavily on a stable internet connection, and I faced challenges with slow loading times when my connection was poor.

Vorteile

The best things about the software are:
1) The ability to have unlimited sheets
2) The easy upload of new sheets and the accessibility of Revs 1/ 2/ 3, etc. with a simple swipe
3) Support team always fast and helpful
4) The ability to create issues and tag multiple linked accounts to the same issue
5) The ability to create reports from RFIs, Issues, logo upload etc. to PDF, Excel documents and how immersive the reports are, from the organization of the issues and photos (very professional)
6) The ability to upload documents and attach them where needed for example RFI's
7) All the editing tools for Mark-ups within sheets.
8) How easy to publish and unpublish content as Admin

Nachteile

The least favorite things about the software are:
1) All though the cross platform from Web/Mac/ Windows/ Mobile options are great, the experience of cross platforms are not consistent throughout. Some features are available on some platforms and not in others
2) Constant out of sync updating on Mobile/ Desktop versions
3) Different software bugs across platforms (but its understandable)

Vorteile

Before knowing Plangrid we were comparing and managing file single handily and we have to create multiple packages for onsite use ... which often end up outdated.

With plangrid, you have all you architectural drawing located a one single place and can be accessible without internet connection. You can easily compare the various version and finally, you can easily connect the team onsite with the office. This software have changed our way of working thru the time and we are now using it on a daily basic.
Ohhh yes, you have to try the customer service, probably the best one that I have ever add. Always available and always knowledgeable and give up real follow up when needed. You can also provide feedback which sometime result in newest features which is awesome!

Nachteile

Each user have to possess a different account to work properly. See that like an additional fee just like a cellphone line. It’s about the same price and also as much useful.

Vorteile

This program is the default collaboration software for the architectural industry. As such, it is almost impossible to work on a large project and not need it. Sharing models between architects and consultants is a breeze, and even allows live linking (but still allows incremental updates as well).

However, Autodesk doesn't just sit on their monopoly; they push updates consistently and listen to users' requests.

Nachteile

While it is improving with each update from Autodesk, the web interface still has much to be desired. It doesn't have the most intuitive layout (for example: I'm still unsure why the global "Account Admin" settings are found in a project-specific tab) and can be laggy when switching between tabs. I would like a desktop client as well since my browser typically has many tabs open at once and the BIM 360 tab can get lost.

Vorteile

New update shows project area and climate like a telephone gadgetStacks moderately quick contrasted with other record stockpiling choicesSimple to explore and shortsighted stage is ideally suited for its motivation

Nachteile

Little usefulness issues like utilizing the hunt bar and leaving yet expecting to move the cursor over and click on search bar again for each inquiry. Uncertain why the screen moves subsequent to looking and this requires some investment when you are making various pursuits in succession.Top toolbar shows logo tiny and tapping on project doesn't prompt general venture data which I think would be useful

Vorteile

Autodesk has a very cohesive suite so you get the full flex of options when you are using this. Every possible niche you can think of is included in Autodesk Construction Cloud so you do not have to worry about buying add ons or a bunch of different products. I also like the update feature. Autodesk does their updates at nights and on weekends so it is not disruptive to your day unlike some other products out there so all patch updates and the like are always done outside of working hours. I also really like that this software is compatible across all devices as we have a mix of Windows and Mac users. No matter what hardware you are using Autodesk works just the same so all end users can enjoy the same experience.

Nachteile

Autodesk Construction Cloud is not cheap. You do have to consider other options if budget is a large constraint. While I feel that we get the best bang for our buck using Autodesk, this is definitely not the least expensive option out there but you must consider the features you get automatically included when you deploy this. This also takes some skill and expertise to get used to. While I have been using the software for sometime and can be well acquainted with it, not all users are going to like having to watch a few videos and how-to's to better understand how this works; it is not as intuitive as its competition.

Vorteile

I like that you can take a picture with the iPad and it tracks through everything. The issues are closed across the board as they are closed in the field and it can allow great communication between the contractors and engineers

Nachteile

The software is clunky at best. Rediculously slow and unworkable at worst. The program is incredibly complicated and Autodesk offered little assistance unless we were willing to pay exorbitant amounts of money. That is not a viable business model, having followers with no idea how to use the program puts it at a disadvantage compared to CxAlloy which I find to be much more user friendly. There are too many options to wrap your head around, then frustrating nuances that nearly ruin the program (why can't you unselect a choice in a checklist?). B3F is rediculously powerful, but if no one knows how to properly use it we end up spending more time figuring it out and struggling to extract useful information than any amount of time saved. Countless hours have been spent trying to glean useful information from the checklists and there is no pretty way to export them from it. The lack of useful exporting is the final nail in the coffin

Vorteile

Being able to post directly out of the software.

Nachteile

Server unavailability
Glue Time
Cant append local content
Setup is time intensive

Vorteile

its always current, don't need to go download files to local drive.

Nachteile

lots.
