DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIM BUILD AND BIM COLLABORATE PRO,

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIM BUILD AND BIM COLLABORATE PRO, COULD ANYONE BRIEF ME ABOUT THE SAME? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

BIM 360 is undergoing a rebrand, now it will be 3 areas

• Design
• Build 
• Operate

These are the over arching packages which contain different modules. BIM collaboration is a module it can sit in both Design and Build.

The module is the same in both Design and Build.

Hope this helps

Hi. A few things to add... BIM360 still exists. Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is a new platform that is borrowing certain aspects from BIM360 and from recent acquisitions including PlanGrid. Current licensing provides access to both so that you can keep projects in B360 and move to the new platform when ready. And, ACC is Bring Your Own License, unlike BIM360 where the project host is providing licenses to all invited in Docs.

Second, ACC is more persona-focused than individual task-focused. So there are some common tasks between personas at Laura noted. In terms of BIM Collaborate Pro, this is intended for the design person who creates in Revit (or Civil3D or Plant3D), model clash, issue management & model coordination. That person would collaborate with an owner, design subs, etc. during the design/pre-con stage for instance. Those folks would use the BIM Collaborate toolset (everything but creating in Revit/C3D/P3D). 

In terms of Build, this would be the GC or Sub during the pre-con/construction stage of the project. They get tasks to manage the project, track issues, manage costs & safety; basically connecting the field and office.

What is unfortunate is that Design also needs to manage a project, track issues, manage costs and need to connect office to field as well. ACC has taken all those components and siloed the information again to make a buck. If Autodesk really wanted to make a tool for the AEC industry they would have included it all and allowed people to bring their own license to the party....

I have to agree with the other comment here. At our company I need availability to the project management just as much as I need availability to the design collaboration tab. Is there even a way where one user could have both licenses? There should be a license with all aspects. I mean the project admin gives access out anyway. I don't understand why these licenses would be broke up this way.

It sounds like you want a 'Construction Cloud Collection' license. 🙂 Those don't exist just yet. So you would have to purchase a 'Build' license for now. That's no different than how software used to be sold; you'd buy AutoCAD AND Revit AND.... individually. They spoiled us with Suites & Collections.
