Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) vs Oracle Primavera P6

Two Saudi Arabia software options, compared side by side for Saudi Arabia trades.

Which should you choose?

Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) and Oracle Primavera P6 are both Tier A. Compare the typical pricing shown for each below. The tier is not a quality ranking: weigh the pros, cons, pricing and Saudi Arabia-specific notes below against your trade and region.

Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

Tier A ยท Listed

Autodesk's construction cloud, now sold as Autodesk Forma

Autodesk Construction Cloud became part of Autodesk Forma on 24 March 2026, and its products were renamed (for example Forma Build and Forma Data Management). Autodesk sells it in three bundles: Model Management (model coordination and design collaboration), Preconstruction (takeoff, estimating and bidding) and Construction Operations (field and document management).

Pros

  • + Model coordination, preconstruction and field tools from one vendor
  • + Model Management bundle includes Navisworks Manage and Model Coordination (per Autodesk)
  • + User-, project- or account-based pricing options (per Autodesk)
  • + 30-day money-back guarantee (per Autodesk)

Cons

  • โˆ’ No public prices for the bundles: quote only
  • โˆ’ Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides use ACC names
  • โˆ’ BIM coordination is more than simple fit-out or MEP jobs need
  • โˆ’ Not an accounting or ZATCA e-invoicing tool

Saudi Arabia note

Most useful for firms that already work in Autodesk design tools or join projects where the client runs its model and documents in Autodesk. It does not issue tax invoices, so ZATCA e-invoicing stays in your accounting or ERP system.

Typical Saudi Arabia 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.

Oracle Primavera P6

Tier A ยท Listed

Oracle's project scheduling and portfolio management software

Oracle Primavera P6 comes as P6 EPPM (enterprise, cloud or on-premises) and P6 Professional, which Oracle describes as built for large-scale, multifaceted projects. Oracle sells cost and business-process control separately in Primavera Unifier. In January 2026 Oracle announced that Red Sea Global had selected Primavera P6 together with Aconex.

Pros

  • + Planning and scheduling across projects, programs and portfolios
  • + Cloud or on-premises deployment (P6 EPPM)
  • + Links to Oracle's Unifier, Analytics and Aconex products
  • + Selected by Red Sea Global in January 2026 (per Oracle)

Cons

  • โˆ’ No public prices found: quote from Oracle or a partner
  • โˆ’ Needs a trained planner to run well
  • โˆ’ More than a small contractor usually needs
  • โˆ’ Not an accounting or ZATCA e-invoicing tool

Saudi Arabia note

P6 suits planners at main contractors, consultants and project owners who run detailed programmes; Red Sea Global is one Saudi owner that selected it. If a tender or contract names a scheduling format, check the exact requirement in that document before you buy.

Typical Saudi Arabia pricing: Quote-based through Oracle or a partner; no price could be confirmed on Oracle's pages this run.
