Forma Build helps connect teams and workflows across the office, trailer, and jobsite, making it easier to manage construction projects from start to finish. Centralize project documents, track costs, and streamline collaboration in one place. Monitor quality and safety with issues and forms, organize communication through RFIs, submittals, and meetings, and track progress as work evolves. Forma Build gives teams better visibility, control, and confidence to deliver successful projects.

Forma Build enables construction teams to track project performance in real time, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and on budget. It also helps to improve collaboration and productivity by providing a single source of truth for all project information. It provides powerful project creation, schedule management, and tracking capabilities so that construction teams can effectively monitor progress, collaborate, and make decisions quickly.

Forma Build is a cloud-based platform accessible from any device, allowing teams to collaborate and stay connected no matter where they are. Build is the perfect solution for teams looking to increase collaboration, improve project performance, and reduce operational costs.

Yes, the Forma Build is available on mobile via the Autodesk Forma mobile app which is available for members who subscribe to any of the following Forma offerings:

Forma Build, Forma Build Essentials, Forma Design Collaboration, Forma Data Management, Forma Takeoff, Forma Site Design and Building Design.

Forma Build leverages Autodesk AI-powered tools to streamline workflows, automate tasks, and support smarter, faster decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. For example, Autodesk Assistant brings the power of conversational AI to construction professionals, helping users quickly find information, validate data, and generate summaries. Construction IQ analyzes project data, identifying and prioritizing risks across design, quality, safety, and project management. Autotags on Photos uses machine learning to automatically add construction related tags to project photos, making it easier to organize, search and find the photos you need. The Sheets tool automatically extracts sheet numbers and titles from multi-page PDFs, so teams can quickly find the drawings they need – when they need them. AutoSpecs analyzes specification documents and automatically generates submittal logs in minutes, while AI in the Specifications tool breaks down lengthy spec books into easily digestible sections – saving time, reducing errors, and giving teams clearer insight into design intent and risk. Autodesk AI also analyzes current specifications alongside historical project data to suggest potentially missing items. These are just a few of the AI features currently available in Build.

Some Autodesk AI-powered features do not leverage machine learning and so do not require data for training of the underlying models. When an AI feature does require data for training, Autodesk uses different data sources depending on the feature. You can learn more about whether a Autodesk AI feature relies on machine learning and what data sources are used for training in the Trusted AI section of Autodesk's Trust Center.

Built for lean crews and growing jobs, Forma Build Essentials brings issues, forms, photos, sheets, and files into one place. Crews can run punch lists, log daily reports, and review sheets and models on web or the Forma mobile app.

Review sheets, drawings, files, and 3D models for onsite context into designs, daily tasks, as well as markups, comments, and changes. Capture punch list items and other quality and safety issues with photos and locations, assign an owner and due date, and track work from open to closed. Log daily logs and reports, and complete forms with photos and signatures, so documentation stays consistent.

Keep field and office working from the same current sheets, files, and updates. Assign issues with clear ownership, share photos and form results, and follow status and comments through resolution so handoffs stay clear.

Forma Build Essentials is designed for the field. Use it on smaller projects or across multiple jobs when you need consistent field capture for sheets, issues, photos, and daily reporting without heavy setup. When you need to tackle more complex jobs with additional project management or cost management capabilities, Forma Build is a great choice.
