If you are a commercial contractor or subcontractor, Autodesk AEC Collection, along with other Autodesk software is a must. There is no other way to design estimate and plan large construction. For residential construction, It may not be as necessary but it could still be useful if your primary construction projects are new builds rather than renovations.

I think if you're a solo practitioner without a team, it might not be worth having Autodesk Construction Cloud. But if you do have a team, Autodesk Construction Cloud is a must. Having multiple users working simultaneously on the same project is something I truly appreciate. It greatly improves the team's workflow. Also, if you frequently share documentation, models, etc., with consultants, it's very useful.

I gave a rating of 10 because, thus far, Autodesk AEC Collection Seems to be on the leading edge for what is required for the construction planning, implementation, and continued of real-world assets. Autodesk has been a great benefit for our organization and has allowed us to continue to improve not only ourselves but the people we work with. We have been using Autodesk AEC Collection for a number of years and hope to continue for a long time coming.

Usability
Autodesk
The software has a significant learning curve. You also must know and understand construction standards and codes. Each member of our BIM team has spent 10+ years in construction and has had years of software training. The software also requires powerful computers to render the models. Without a BIM focused gpu and processor, the software will seem less usable when in reality, the computer is not capable of running the software properly

It's a very powerful collaboration tool. It enables efficient teamwork by allowing real-time collaboration among multiple users, regardless of location. It centralizes all project documentation, making it easy to manage and share files, models, and updates. It is also very useful for everyone to easily identify the latest issued documents. This greatly enhances communication within the team and with external consultants.
