Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

Tier A · 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

− No public prices for the bundles: quote only
− Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides use ACC names
− BIM coordination is more than simple fit-out or MEP jobs need
− 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.
