What Autodesk Forma is for on a jobsite
Autodesk Forma is a mobile construction app that puts project information on a phone or tablet at the jobsite. It is aimed at field crews, site supervisors and project managers who need to record what they find on site and check current drawings before work starts.
The listing describes two tiers. Forma Build Essentials covers field execution for smaller crews and growing jobs. Forma Build adds project management for the office, so the two sides work from the same project.
Logging punch list items and site issues
Each punch list item can carry photos, a location and a reference, and it can be assigned an owner and a due date. Items move from open to closed, so a supervisor can see what is still outstanding.
The same tracking covers quality concerns and safety observations, including near misses and positive findings.
Daily reports, inspections and forms
Crews can write daily reports and logs, record site conditions and project details, and complete quality or safety inspections. Photos, signatures and supporting files can be attached to each form.
Forms sit alongside sheets, issues and models in the same project, so a report can be filed while the related drawing is still open.
Viewing and marking up drawings and 3D models
Current sheets, drawings, files and 3D models can be opened from the project. Drawings can be marked up directly on the sheet, and 3D models can be reviewed on site to check design intent and context.
The listing says the latest versions can be confirmed before work begins.
Office workflows in Forma Build and connected files
Forma Build adds project schedules and work plans, RFIs with tracked responses, approved submittals, meeting notes, correspondence, project assets, and document and package reviews.
Files from Revit, Navisworks and AutoCAD can be opened in the app. The listing also names PlanGrid, Forma Design Collaboration and Forma Data Management as products the app connects to, along with shortcuts for common field actions and access to project information as connectivity changes.
