    Pros
    Autodesk
    • Plangrid is the best SaaS I have seen for ease of uploading construction plans and automated organization of those plans.
    • For companies that are not using other products for mobile access, the Plangrid mobile apps are perfect to allow people on and off site to share and collaborate in many phases of construction project documentation.
    • Plangrid has a very responsive technical support team (although it is pretty much email only).
    • Plangrid's website layout is easy to use and understand and allows new users to jump right in and do basic to moderate tasks without little training.

    • The software is geared toward general contractors. We are actively providing feedback to gear it toward engineers, architects, and design professionals.
    • I would like to see more options for mark-ups.

    We are at the point where we have shown our teams what is possible with this software. We cannot take it away and go back to the way we used to do things. I think that they would push back on us to give them access to something electronic. It is a good program that we will continue to use

    Plangrid, while not serving the external document distribution function, is unrivaled for internal document distribution and sharing in the construction industry. The speed at which documents are navigatable, the ability to download your projects for viewing without an internet connection, and the document mark-up and photo tools place it head and shoulders above the competition.

    • It helped us "wow" a joint commission survey in 2016 and have a successful survey because he loved how we could access plans on an iPad, check suite sizes, and didn't have to carry around huge, heavy sets of life safety plans.
