Cloud-based construction software means your team can access project data from any device without installing desktop applications. For field crews, this is essential — superintendents, foremen, and subs need to pull up plans, log issues, and update tasks from their phones or tablets on the job site.
All of the tools below run in the cloud, but they differ in how much they offer and what they cost.

Procore is fully cloud-based with web and mobile apps. All project data lives in the cloud, and real-time syncing keeps office and field teams aligned. It offers the broadest feature set of any cloud construction platform.
Autodesk Build
Autodesk Build runs in the Autodesk Construction Cloud. It provides cloud-based document management, BIM coordination, issue tracking, and design review. Files sync across devices with version control.
HomeFloorPlan
Our PickHomeFloorPlan is entirely browser-based — no downloads, no installs. Upload plans, and your team can access markup, comments, and trade layers from any device. AI floorplan sorting automatically organizes uploaded plan sets. Shared links let external subs collaborate without creating accounts.
Fieldwire
Fieldwire is cloud-based with strong offline support. Field teams can work without connectivity and sync when back online. Plans, tasks, and inspections are all accessible from mobile devices.
Buildertrend

Raken

The Verdict
Every major construction platform is now cloud-based, so the choice comes down to feature needs. Procore and Autodesk Build offer the most breadth. HomeFloorPlan stands out for its zero-install simplicity and is one of the most accessible options for teams that primarily need plan markup and collaboration.
