OpenBuildings Designer vs. Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

OpenBuildings Designer is a multi-discipline building design application that enables BIM workflows to provide information-rich models for the design, analysis, simulation, and documentation of buildings. It incorporates OpenBuildings Designer computational design and energy services for building performance evaluation. OpenBuildings Designer immerses you in a 3D modeling environment and provides site content by referencing reality models. The application shares a catalog of design components across the project team. Built-in clash detection allows designers to coordinate building systems.

Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) connects workflows, teams and data at every stage of construction to reduce risk, maximize efficiency, and increase profits. Autodesk Build is part of Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)'s newest set of products that further connect data, workflows, and teams throughout the entire building lifecycle. Build delivers a broad, deep, and connected set of field execution and project management tools for builders in a single software platform that is easy to deploy, adopt and use.
