Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

Tier A · Listed

Autodesk's construction platform, now sold under the Autodesk Forma name

Autodesk Construction Cloud became part of Autodesk Forma on 24 March 2026, and its products were renamed: Autodesk Build is now Forma Build, alongside Forma Data Management, Forma Takeoff, Forma Estimate and Model Management tools such as Navisworks. Autodesk sells them in bundles for model management, preconstruction and construction operations. It suits firms whose projects already use Autodesk models.

Pros

+ Covers document control, takeoff, estimating and field work
+ Model tools such as Navisworks in the same family
+ Bundles priced by user, project or account
+ Free trials offered on Autodesk's site

Cons

− No public prices; bundles are quote-based
− Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides are out of date
− No confirmed Bahrain reseller found this run
− Overlaps a project tool you may already own

Bahrain note

Worth considering if your Bahrain projects already use Autodesk models, for example in Navisworks. Ask Autodesk for a local partner before buying, as no Bahrain reseller could be confirmed.

Typical Bahrain pricing: Quote-based; Autodesk's pricing page lists Model Management, Preconstruction and Construction Operations bundles with 'Get a Quote' and no public prices.

Pros

+ Published per-user prices and a 30-day free trial
+ Unlimited subcontractors and watchers on every plan

Cons

Bahrain note

Easy to trial on one Bahrain project: the 30-day free trial needs no credit card, and subcontractors join free. Support comes from outside Bahrain, as no Gulf office is listed.

Typical Bahrain pricing: Published in USD: Basic $32 a month (one user), Starter $107 and Pro $159 per user per month (each up to 10 users); annual billing saves more than 10%, according to PlanRadar. Enterprise is quote-based. 30-day free trial.
