What is the Autodesk BIM 360 platform?

BIM 360 is Autodesk’s cloud platform for AEC project delivery and construction management that supports informed decision making throughout the project lifecycle, helping to lead to more predictable and profitable outcomes.

It does this by centralizing all project data in a common data platform and connecting project stakeholders and workflows – from design to construction to operations, from the field to the office and back — in a single solution.

How does this differ from the current BIM 360 products?

Autodesk offers a set of individual cloud products that are built to digitise and support specific project delivery phases and processes.

Next-gen BIM 360 platform brings core value from all disconnected solutions into a common data platform, which connects data, processes, and workflows throughout the lifecycle of a project.

How BIM 360 supports connected construction

Connected Construction refers to the seamless, data-driven workflow that links all project stakeholders, information, and phases—from design and preconstruction through execution and handover—into a single digital ecosystem. Autodesk BIM 360 is engineered to be the foundational platform that enables this connectivity.

BIM 360 achieves this by providing a Common Data Environment (CDE), ensuring that everyone involved—from architects and engineers to contractors and facility managers—is always working from the latest, most accurate project data. This "single source of truth" is critical for eliminating manual data handoffs and reducing the risk of errors associated with outdated information.

Key Pillars of Connected Construction in BIM 360:

Centralized Document Management (BIM 360 Docs): The platform standardizes how documents (drawings, models, specifications) are published, reviewed, and consumed. Field teams access project plans instantly on mobile devices, ensuring design changes are communicated immediately, preventing costly rework on site.
Model-Based Collaboration (BIM 360 Design & Coordinate): BIM 360 transforms BIM models from static design tools into active collaboration assets. Design teams can co-author models in real-time, while coordination teams use the cloud to automate clash detection, identifying conflicts before they become problems in the field. This integration moves collaboration outside of traditional silos.
Field and Quality Management (BIM 360 Field/Build): The platform extends digital connectivity directly to the construction site. Field teams use BIM 360 to manage checklists, perform safety inspections, track quality issues, and submit RFIs (Requests for Information) directly from the model or drawing. This immediate link back to the office streamlines communication and accelerates the resolution of critical site issues.

By breaking down the traditional barriers between design, office, and field operations, BIM 360 helps teams execute projects more efficiently, maintain high standards of quality, and ultimately, deliver better outcomes faster.
