Autodesk Build

Project management

Autodesk's cloud-based construction management platform, tying a project's drawings, RFIs, submittals, daily field reports, and budget into one shared record.

What it does

Build centers on a single project record that a superintendent in the field, a project manager in the office, and an owner checking progress remotely can all see at their own permission level. Drawings and documents live in one version-controlled place, RFIs and submittals get tracked with due dates and tied to the specific sheet or model location they concern, and daily field reports, safety forms, and photos flow in from a mobile app that keeps working even without a signal on site, syncing once a connection is available again.

Key features

  • Drawing and document management with markup tools and version comparison built in
  • RFI, submittal, and change order tracking linked to a specific sheet or model location
  • Daily field reports, safety and quality forms, and photo logs from a mobile app that works offline on site
  • Budget and cost tracking tied to the project's change orders and committed costs

How it's actually used

  • A superintendent files a daily report from a tablet on the jobsite, including safety checks and photos, with the report syncing once a signal is available
  • A project manager tracks an RFI from submission through the architect's response, with the whole exchange attached to the exact sheet it concerns
