Autodesk Forma
One industry cloud. Every phase. Every team.
Autodesk Forma connects owners, designers, builders, and operators in one AI-native platform. From the first site sketch to building operations, your data, workflows, and teams stay connected without switching systems.
Not just software. A connected environment.
Autodesk Forma is the AECO industry cloud. It replaces the disconnected collection of tools that design and construction teams have relied on for decades. Instead of exporting, translating, and re-uploading data between phases, Forma keeps everything in one cloud-native environment.
Forma covers four phases of the project lifecycle:
Design
Collaborate across teams in real time with shared data and coordinated BIM workflows.
Build
Connect design to construction. Manage documents, field operations, takeoffs, and estimates in one place.
Operate
Use live building data to optimize performance and reduce downtime after handover.
(operations phase)
Why teams choose Autodesk Forma
Connected Data
Every team works from the same project data. No exports. No re-entry. No version conflicts.
AI Built In Forma uses AI across every phase
From site analysis in planning to risk prediction in construction.
One Login
One Environment. Your team does not switch platforms between design and construction. Everything lives in Forma.
Every product. Every phase.
Autodesk Forma includes purpose-built products for each stage of the AECO lifecycle. All of them connect through a shared data environment.
PLAN
Forma Site Design [formerly Autodesk Forma / Spacemaker for early-stage planning] AI-powered site planning and analysis software. Analyze wind, daylight, solar energy, noise, and microclimate in real time. Create massing concepts, explore options, and make data-backed decisions before detailed design begins. Key capabilities: Site context setup, 3D massing, environmental analysis, Forma Board for collaborative review
Forma Data Management [formerly Autodesk Docs] The common data environment for the full project lifecycle. Store, organize, version-control, and share all project files in one secure, cloud-native location.
Forma Building Design [new product schematic design in the cloud] Explore massing options, facade alternatives, and unit mixes in the cloud before committing to detailed BIM. Connects directly to Revit and Forma Site Design
Forma Design Collaboration [formerly Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro] Cloud-based model coordination and design collaboration. Run automated clash detection, manage design workflows, and co-author Revit and Civil 3D models without exporting files. Key capabilities: Clash detection, co-authoring, design review on any device, shared BIM environment
Forma Carbon Insights Track embodied carbon across design iterations to make sustainability decisions early, when they have the most impact.
Forma Build [formerly Autodesk Build] Comprehensive field and project management. Track RFIs, submittals, punch lists, inspections, and daily reports from the office or the field. Key capabilities: Field issue tracking, quality control workflows, RFI and submittal management, real-time progress tracking
Forma Takeoff [formerly Autodesk Takeoff] Generate accurate 2D and 3D quantity takeoffs directly from models. Reduce manual errors and speed up the bid process. Key capabilities: 2D and 3D takeoff, model-based measurements, direct integration with Forma Estimate
Forma Estimate [formerly Autodesk Estimate] Build detailed cost estimates tied to project data. Connect takeoffs to cost databases and produce bid packages faster. Key capabilities: Cost database integration, estimate templates, connection to Forma Takeoff, export for bids
Forma Data Management (Operations) After handover, Forma Data Management continues as the central repository for as-built documents, O&M manuals, and operational data giving facility teams a complete picture of the building

*Compared with purchasing each product separately
Autodesk Construction Cloud is now part of Autodesk Forma
Autodesk Construction Cloud products are now aligned under Autodesk Forma. You will see updated names across platforms and systems. No action is needed.
As of March 24, 2026, all Autodesk Construction Cloud products moved under the Autodesk Forma umbrella. The tools are identical. The workflows, logins, data, and integrations did not change. Only the names changed.
