Autodesk Build is the construction management piece of Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). It combines elements from the old BIM 360 and PlanGrid into a unified platform that covers document management, design coordination, issues tracking, RFIs, submittals, cost management, and more. For firms already using Revit, Civil 3D, and other Autodesk tools, it is the natural construction-phase extension of their design ecosystem.
The reality for smaller firms is that Autodesk Build comes with Autodesk-sized complexity and pricing. You are buying into a platform that spans the entire project lifecycle, which means enterprise sales conversations, admin overhead, and a feature set calibrated for organizations with BIM managers and IT departments. Getting a five-person crew onto Autodesk Build is not a quick process.
HomeFloorPlan strips away the ecosystem overhead and gives you what you actually need in the field: upload plans, mark them up by trade, share with your team, and track issues to resolution. No BIM manager required.

The Verdict
Autodesk Build makes sense if your firm lives in the Autodesk world — designing in Revit, coordinating in Navisworks, and managing the full project lifecycle through ACC. The integration between design and construction tools is its real strength, and for large firms with dedicated BIM and IT staff, that integration has genuine value.
For teams that work with 2D drawings and just need their plans marked up, shared, and tracked — which is the majority of construction projects — HomeFloorPlan is the more practical choice. You get a focused tool that your team can start using today, without enterprise sales calls, ecosystem lock-in, or features you will never open.
