Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

Tier A · Listed

Autodesk's construction platform, now sold as Autodesk Forma

Autodesk moved Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) into its Autodesk Forma brand on 24 March 2026 and renamed the products, for example Forma Build, Forma Data Management, Forma Takeoff and Forma Estimate. Autodesk sells them in three quote-based bundles, Model Management, Preconstruction and Construction Operations, which also include Navisworks Manage, BuildingConnected Pro, ProEst and Pype tools.

Pros

+ Model coordination, design collaboration and document management in one account
+ Bundles run from takeoff, estimating and bidding to field operations and closeout
+ User-, project- and account-based pricing options (per Autodesk)
+ 30-day money-back guarantee stated on the pricing page

Cons

− No public prices for the construction bundles: quote-based
− Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides use ACC names
− Not an accounting or invoicing tool
− BIM depth is more than simple jobs need

Kuwait note

No Kuwait reseller or local office was confirmed in this check, so ask any Kuwait seller whether it is an authorised Autodesk partner and who provides local support and training. The tools suit engineering firms and contractors working with BIM models; simple jobs do not need them.

Typical Kuwait pricing: Quote-based: Autodesk's construction pricing page lists three bundles (Model Management, Preconstruction, Construction Operations) with 'Get a quote' and no prices; Autodesk says it offers user-, project- and account-based pricing and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

+ Unlimited subcontractors and watchers free on every plan
+ Arabic-language regional website and pricing page
+ PlanRadar says the platform runs in more than 18 languages

Cons

Kuwait note

PlanRadar has no Kuwait office or Kuwait website; its nearest office is in Dubai, and prices are in USD rather than KWD. It suits contractors who want digital snagging, inspections and handover records without an enterprise rollout.

Typical Kuwait pricing: Published (USD, per user per month): Basic $32 (1 user, 10 plans), Starter $107 (up to 10 users, 30 plans per user), Pro $159 (up to 10 users, 100 plans per user, 1 BIM model per user); Enterprise by quote. PlanRadar says annual billing saves more than 10%, bills annually in advance unless the contract says otherwise and adds a 4% innovation fee from the second billing period. 30-day free trial.
