Autodesk Connected Construction Cloud Solutions
Power your projects with a comprehensive suite of tools that unite data, teams, and workflows.
What is Autodesk Construction Cloud?
Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is a fully integrated platform designed for anyone in the construction space—from general contractors and trades to owners, project managers, estimators, BIM coordinators, and field teams. Whether you’re planning, building, coordinating, or managing a facility, ACC connects every stage of the construction lifecycle.
With tools that span preconstruction, coordination, project management, field execution, and digital handover, ACC helps you make smarter decisions, reduce risk, and deliver better results—on time and on budget. And with centralized data across cloud and desktop environments, your entire team works from a single source of truth.

Autodesk Construction Cloud delivers a suite of tools built for how construction teams work—whether you’re in the office, on site, or managing operations. From estimating and bidding to model coordination and project delivery, these solutions support every stage of the construction lifecycle.
Explore the core products below, each designed to work on its own or as part of a fully connected workflow.
Connected tools for every phase of construction.
Build
Construction Management
Build offers powerful tools for managing cost, quality, safety, and day-to-day operations in the field. Streamline how teams collaborate on-site and manage construction data.
Key Benefits:
- Track project health in real-time

Docs
Data Management
Docs is your centralized source for all project documentation. Manage design reviews, control file versions, and streamline approvals across teams and locations.
Key Benefits:
- Version-controlled document sharing
- Seamless file integration with Revit and AutoCAD
- Access permissions and approval workflows
Takeoff
Quantification
Takeoff allows estimators and preconstruction teams to generate accurate 2D and 3D takeoffs from a single platform.
Key Benefits:
- Combine 2D and 3D quantification
- Maintain a single source of truth for scopes
- Improve collaboration between estimators and project managers
ProEst is built for the way you work, whether you’re a large civil contractor or a small landscape specialist. With a wealth of customizable features, ProEst offers the kind of estimating flexibility that meets your needs and wins more bids.
Construction Cloud Mobile
Mobile/Field Access

ACC + Navisworks Manage
Construction Model Management
Construction Model Management replaces the old BIM Collaborate (Model Coordination) by combining Navisworks Manage with Autodesk Construction Cloud. This integrated workflow brings together desktop precision and cloud-based collaboration for clash detection, issue tracking, and model aggregation.
Key Benefits:
- Run clash detection in Navisworks, track issues in ACC
- Work with multi-format models across trades
- Keep design and construction teams aligned in real time
Note: Available only through the Model Management Bundle or a single-user Navisworks Manage license (not the AEC Collection version).
Bidding & Risk
BuildingConnected streamlines preconstruction by managing bid invites, subcontractor communications, and vendor risk—all in one place. From bid packaging to qualification tracking, it gives estimators and project managers the control and visibility they need to make smarter decisions faster.
Key Benefits:
- Centralize bid invites, scope coverage, and communications
- Qualify vendors using detailed risk profiles and historical data
- Improve transparency and win rates with real-time bid tracking
