PlanGrid

Construction productivity software for the field

Overview

What PlanGrid does

PlanGrid (now part of Autodesk Construction Cloud) is a construction productivity software designed to manage blueprints, specs, photos, and punch lists on construction projects. It enables teams to access the latest drawings in the field, mark up plans, track issues, and collaborate in real-time.

What people use it for

  • Giving field crews real-time access to construction plans, issues and photos
  • Capturing site forms and photos from a tablet on a job site
  • Managing organization licences for a construction document app

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about PlanGrid.

  • Autodesk states PlanGrid is no longer available for purchase by net-new customers, with new buyers directed to Forma Build
  • PlanGrid access is now sold only through Forma Build, so pricing is set by the Forma Build subscription rather than PlanGrid itself
  • Mobile users must access PlanGrid projects through the Autodesk Forma mobile app rather than a standalone PlanGrid app
  • The PlanGrid desktop app requires Windows 10 or higher
  • The Admin Console for managing users and licences is a separate site restricted to designated organization admins

Cross-shopped
