    Chose Autodesk Build
    PlanGrid is very similar to Procore but offers a slightly more straightforward user interface and seems not to be loaded with extra options that rarely would get used like Procore. PlanGrid is a much smoother software than Submittal Exchange or CMiC due to that same interface. …

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    CMiC has far more capability than these other software platforms. We had to use all of the other software together to meet the same capability as CMiC alone.

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    In addition to PlanGrid, I have used a purpose-built in-house system, about 10 years ago. It was build using forms designed with Word & Excel. These forms were infilled, saved as signed PDFs, and uploaded to Google Cloud. The in-house user base was small and use was managed …

    Chose CMiC Construction Platform
    CMiC is not there yet in terms of usability when compared to PlanGrid. I have attended the conferences and have seen the plans to improve usability and look forward to these changes. Unfortunately, until it is at this point it does not compete in regards to construction plan …
