Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)
Tier A · ListedAutodesk'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. In Doha, Thasaamah Technology says it is an Autodesk Gold Partner.
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)
- + Doha-based Autodesk partner (Thasaamah Technology, self-described Gold Partner)
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
Qatar note
Thasaamah Technology in Doha says it is an Autodesk Gold Partner, but its partner page lists design software (Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Navisworks, AEC Collection) rather than the Forma construction bundles, so ask any Qatar seller whether it sells and supports those bundles locally. The tools suit engineering firms and contractors working with BIM models; simple jobs do not need them.
