Following the acquisition of PlanGrid, Autodesk is finalizing the unification of PlanGrid and BIM 360 into a unified Platform as the all new Autodesk/PlanGrid BUILD that will enhance the way you work.

Autodesk Build helps you drive projects forward by connecting the field and the office, supporting transparent decision making, and translating decisions to quick actions; all while creating a seamless connection to the entire project team on the same platform. 

 Who is impacted? 

Some of the biggest concerns are if you will lose access and features, or if you will inherit a completely new training and implementation liability. As AEC specialists and authorized Autodesk partners, we can assure you that the changes will NOT be disruptive, and the enhanced features are so familiar there will be little to no training liability.

Autodesk BUILD leverages best-in-class technology from both PlanGrid and BIM 360, along with new functionality to connect construction data and workflows across the headquarters, office, and job site.

  2. Autodesk BUILD supports an integrated & digitized process for the build phase of a project in a platform that is easy to deploy, adapt and use while ensuring information sharing and workflows are tightly controlled and highly-configurable.
