Cost Management with Autodesk Build
See how Autodesk Build helps teams centralize in the cloud the management of all cost-related activities, improve visibility into the financial health of projects, and reduce cost-related risk.
The basic function of construction cost management is to keep your job on budget and avoid the project eating into your bottom line. Cost management affects all phases of a project. It also plays a critical role in ensuring your team has a reputation for being proactive, efficient, and accurate in estimating and executing a proposed project budget.
Cost management is one of the most critical tasks in a construction project. Proper cost management practices allow you to reduce costs and increase profitability. Tracking how you’re progressing against the plan and being able to identify areas of risk early is critical to successful project delivery.
All Autodesk Build subscriptions include all project management, quality management, safety management, and cost management features, including access to Autodesk Docs and the Autodesk Construction Cloud mobile app.
Autodesk Build was developed by combining the best-in-class features of BIM 360 Build, BIM 360 Cost, and PlanGrid into a single solution. In addition, Autodesk Build offers capabilities that PlanGrid does not, such as Meeting Minutes, Schedule Management, Cost Management, and Asset Management.
