Foundation Packs
Autodesk Forma Foundation Pack
Your Autodesk Forma Rollout Doesn't Have to Be a Six-Month Project
An Autodesk Forma Foundation Pack is a structured implementation service from SolidCAD that helps AEC teams adopt Forma with a fixed scope, defined deliverables, and a clear timeline, instead of an open-ended consulting engagement. Each pack combines hands-on training, workflow standardization, and dedicated project coordination, delivered remotely to organizations across Canada.
What Is a Foundation Pack?
A Foundation Pack is a structured implementation service designed to help your team get up and running on Autodesk Forma faster, without starting with a large, open-ended consulting engagement.
Unlike traditional consulting projects that can grow and shift over time, Foundation Packs are built around a defined scope, a clear timeline, and specific deliverables from day one. You know exactly what’s included, what gets delivered, and when your team will start seeing results.
They’re designed for AEC organizations that want faster Autodesk Forma adoption, more consistent workflows across teams, and a practical path forward — without the overhead of a months-long implementation project.
SolidCAD is an Autodesk Platinum Partner with over two decades of experience delivering technology solutions across the Canadian AEC market. Every Foundation Pack is led by certified consultants who understand both the software and the industry.
Why Choose a Foundation Pack for Autodesk Forma Implementation?
Faster time-to-value. If you need to get started right away, a Foundation Pack provides a structured path to implementation while ensuring essential planning and workflow requirements are addressed. Foundation Packs are structured to get your team productive quickly, with onboarding, workflow standardization, and adoption built into the delivery from week one.
Predictable scope. You’ll know upfront what’s included, what the timeline looks like, and what gets delivered at the end. No surprises, no scope creep, no projects that keep growing.
Reduced implementation risk. Complicated rollouts create rollout fatigue. Foundation Packs simplify the path forward and help your team build momentum without the friction that typically comes with large implementation projects.
Easier leadership buy-in. When scope, deliverables, and timelines are clearly defined from the start, it’s a much easier conversation internally. Foundation Packs are structured specifically to make approval straightforward.
Designed for long-term growth. A Foundation Pack delivers a clearly defined engagement with a fixed scope. Once it is complete and your team has established consistent workflows, further optimization or broader platform adoption can be addressed through a separate, newly scoped engagement.
Foundation Pack Modules: Choose the Areas Your Team Needs
Not every team has the same priorities. A project manager focused on RFIs and submittals has different needs than an estimator working in Quantity Takeoff or a BIM manager configuring account settings. That’s by design.
Foundation Packs are organized by discipline and workflow area, so you select only the modules that match your team’s roles and where you need traction the fastest. Mix and match across Forma Admin, Data Management, Preconstruction, Building Connected, Forma Build, and Cost Management — and every package automatically includes dedicated project coordination from a SolidCAD consultant to keep delivery on track from kick-off to wrap-up.

Who Foundation Packs Are Built For
Foundation Packs are the right fit if your organization recently purchased Autodesk Forma and needs structured onboarding support, if your teams are using the platform inconsistently across projects or offices, if you’ve experienced difficult software rollouts before and want a cleaner path this time, if leadership needs predictable timelines and clearly scoped deliverables before approving a project, or if you’re looking for practical, outcome-focused guidance without committing to a large consulting engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is included in a Foundation Pack?
Each Foundation Pack is made up of modular service areas — such as Document Management, Quantity Takeoff, Project Management, or Cost Management — that are selected based on your team’s needs. Every package includes a project kick-off call, implementation planning, a dedicated SolidCAD project coordinator, scheduled delivery sessions, and a post-delivery wrap-up. The scope, hours, and deliverables are clearly defined before work begins.
How long does a Foundation Pack take to deliver?
Delivery is paced at approximately four hours per week, keeping your team productive while building capability in parallel. Timeline varies based on which modules you select — the pricing calculator gives you an estimated delivery schedule based on your specific configuration.
How is a Foundation Pack different from standard Autodesk training?
Standard training is typically product-focused and generic. Foundation Packs are implementation-focused and outcome-driven — the goal isn’t just to show your team how the software works, it’s to help them actually adopt it within the context of how your organization operates. Sessions are hands-on, scoped, and delivered by consultants with real AEC project experience.
Can we start with one area and address others later?
Absolutely. A Foundation Pack can address one clearly defined area first. Once that engagement is complete, additional areas can be supported through a separate, newly scoped engagement. This focused approach helps teams standardize workflows, build confidence and prepare for broader adoption over time.
What if our needs are more complex than a Foundation Pack covers?
Foundation Packs are designed for structured, focused implementation — they’re not the right fit for every situation. If your organization needs enterprise-wide transformation, highly customized workflow development, or deep multi-department integration planning, a traditional consulting engagement may be a better starting point. Our team will be upfront about which path makes more sense for your situation. Reach out and we’ll help you figure it out.
