Design and Construction Software

Architecture, engineering and construction firms run on a stack of specialized software: Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD, Bluebeam Revu, Procore, Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) and the Microsoft 365 tools that tie them together. The articles in this category look at that software from the IT side. They cover licensing and account management, keeping versions and plugins consistent across a team, connecting platforms so information is entered once, and what product changes like Autodesk's move to Forma mean for your firm. They do not teach you how to model or draft. They focus on keeping the tools you depend on running well.
