Questions? We have answers

What is the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection?

The AEC Collection includes BIM and CAD software, including Revit, Civil 3D and AutoCAD, as well as a cloud-based common data environment enabling designers, engineers, and contractors to efficiently deliver high quality building and infrastructure projects. Powerful site planning and analysis software such as Site Design and schematic design tool, Building Design, help AEC professionals realize design intent, while model-based design solutions accelerate design processes and support integrated workflows for multi-discipline coordination. Analysis and optimization tools improve design quality and ensure constructability. Construction coordination and schedule simulation help reduce costs and minimize field coordination issues during construction. With the AEC Collection, teams can create with ease, explore what’s possible, and build with confidence. 

What products are included in the AEC Collection?

The Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection includes an integrated set of BIM and CAD tools that support early-stage design to construction. This includes popular software such as Revit, Forma Site Design, Forma Building Design, AutoCAD, Infraworks, Civil 3D, Forma Data Management, and more. Visit the included software page for further details.

How are the products in the AEC Collection integrated?

The collection includes products needed to complete design and construction workflows across the project lifecycle, such as conceptual design, site surface coordination, environmental analysis, bridge design, structural analysis, steel detailing and fabrication, and mechanical fabrication.
