Autodesk Construction Cloud emerged from the legendary lineage of AutoCAD and Revit, aiming to bridge the historical gap between the design office and the physical jobsite. By acquiring and integrating key players like PlanGrid and BuildingConnected, Autodesk created a unified environment where BIM (Building Information Modeling) data flows seamlessly from pre-construction to operations.

The company’s story is about the "digital thread"—the idea that data generated during the design phase should remain useful throughout the building's entire life. Their narrative highlights a transition from fragmented legacy tools to a powerful, end-to-end platform that enables construction teams to build better, faster, and more sustainably through advanced simulation and collaboration.

Enterprises deep into BIM often weigh the technical depth of Autodesk Construction Cloud against the project management breadth of Procore or the heavy civil expertise found in HCSS.
