Autodesk Forma Design Collaboration (formerly BIM Collaborate Pro)
Cloud design-coordination layer for multi-firm co-authoring of Revit, Civil 3D, and Plant 3D models plus model aggregation and clash management -- renamed from BIM Collaborate Pro as part of Autodesk's March 2026 Construction Cloud-to-Forma rebrand.
Hidden Pricing
3.0 /5 composite score
The design-phase coordination layer for teams co-authoring across firms in real time -- cloud worksharing for Revit/Civil 3D/Plant 3D plus clash management on the same APS Model Coordination API that underpins the rest of Autodesk's construction stack. One reseller (Novedge) lists $945/user/year, but Autodesk's own site routes most licensing through an AEC Collection sales conversation rather than a plain checkout.
