BIM 360
About
BIM 360 is Autodesk's earlier cloud construction management platform for document management, design collaboration, model coordination and field management. Autodesk succeeded it with Autodesk Construction Cloud, now Autodesk Forma, and no longer sells it to new customers, but many projects still run on existing BIM 360 accounts and its APIs and integrations remain in service for them.
How teams use it
By audience
- Architecture
- Publishes Revit and other design models to BIM 360 Docs as the team's common data environment, with version history so consultants always reference the latest set.
- Uses Design Collaboration to share work-in-progress and consumed packages across disciplines while keeping each firm's models in separate, controlled team spaces.
- Runs Model Coordination to surface clashes between architectural, structural, and MEP models early, reducing rework before drawings are issued.
- Manages drawing/sheet sets and markups in Docs, controlling who sees published versus in-progress documents through folder permissions.
- Responds to RFIs and reviews submittals tied to design intent during construction administration.
- Construction Management
- Operates Docs as the single source of truth for drawings, specs, models, and project documents with role-based permissions across all project members.
- Tracks and routes RFIs and submittals through structured review workflows, keeping an auditable record of responses and approvals.
- Uses Field Management to log issues, checklists, and quality/safety inspections from the jobsite via the mobile app.
- Reviews automated clash and coordination results from Model Coordination to drive constructability and reduce field conflicts.
- Monitors project health through dashboards reporting on open issues, RFIs, and documentation status.
- General Contracting
- Distributes the latest released drawings and models to subcontractors and field crews through Docs, eliminating outdated-set rework.
- Runs daily field workflows in Field Management: punch lists, quality and safety checklists, and issue tracking with photos from mobile devices.
- Coordinates trade models in Model Coordination to resolve MEP/structural clashes before installation begins.
- Manages the RFI and submittal pipeline with subs and the design team, keeping approvals and turnaround times documented.
- Uses sheet sets, markups, and 2D/3D viewing in the field so crews build from verified, current information.
By phase
- Design
- Hosts the common data environment in Docs where architects and engineers publish and version models and drawings.
- Enables multi-discipline Design Collaboration with controlled package sharing between separate team workspaces.
- Runs early clash detection via Model Coordination so design conflicts are resolved before documents are finalized.
- Centralizes design reviews, markups, and approval workflows to keep stakeholders aligned on the current intent.
- Pre-Construction
- Aggregates trade and design models in Model Coordination to identify and assign clashes before work is mobilized.
- Establishes the document control structure, folder permissions, and roles that the project will use through construction.
- Distributes bid/IFC drawing sets and supporting documents to subcontractors and the project team via Docs.
- Stands up RFI and submittal workflows so review cycles are ready when construction begins.
- Construction
- Delivers the current released drawings and models to the field through the Docs mobile and web apps, preventing rework from stale sets.
- Drives daily Field Management activity: issue tracking, quality/safety checklists, and punch lists captured on-site.
- Processes RFIs and submittals through structured review and approval workflows with full audit trails.
- Continues Model Coordination to catch and resolve clashes ahead of trade installation.
- Reports progress and open items via dashboards so teams act on issues, RFIs, and document status.
