Autodesk Construction Cloud (now Forma)

Tier A · Listed

Autodesk's construction cloud, now Autodesk Forma: documents, model coordination, takeoff and project management

Autodesk Construction Cloud became part of Autodesk Forma on 24 March 2026, and its products were renamed (Autodesk Build is now Forma Build; Autodesk Docs is now Forma Data Management). Forma is sold in three bundles: Model Management (model coordination, design collaboration, Navisworks Manage), Preconstruction (takeoff, estimating, BuildingConnected bid management) and Construction Operations (Forma Build project management and submittals), each with Forma Data Management for documents.

Pros

+ Model coordination and design collaboration in the Model Management bundle
+ Takeoff, estimating and bid management in the Preconstruction bundle
+ Shared document management across all bundles
+ User, project or account-based pricing options, Autodesk says

Cons

− No price shown on the pages that could be read; quote-based
− Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides use ACC names
− No accounting or Egyptian e-invoicing; needs a separate ERP

Egypt note

Forma is a project and document platform with no Egyptian tax or e-invoicing role, so an Egyptian contractor still needs a local ERP for ETA compliance. Autodesk's regional and reseller pages could not be read in this check, so buy through an Autodesk-authorised reseller and confirm local support and pricing.

Typical Egypt pricing: Quote-based; Autodesk's Forma pricing page shows no prices and says pricing can be per user, per project or per account. No list price could be read in this check.

RIB Candy is contractor software from RIB Software, which says it is part of Schneider Electric. It covers on-screen quantity takeoff, resource-based estimating, critical-path planning, cash flow, valuations, subcontract management and earned value, through to the final certificate.

Pros

+ Desktop licences or a hosted Candy Cloud option

Cons

− No published prices; custom quote only

Egypt note

RIB's own site carries a RIB Candy case study for Hassan Allam Construction in Egypt, quoting its technical and tendering support senior manager on BOQ price matching and tender timelines, including work on the Benban Solar Park project. RIB lists no Egyptian office; its Middle East office is in Dubai.

Typical Egypt pricing: Quote-based; no public prices. RIB says pricing depends on single-user or multi-user licences, with a Candy Cloud (desktop-as-a-service) option. 14-day free trial.
