At a glance
What BuildingConnected does
BuildingConnected Pro helps preconstruction teams build bid packages, find and invite trades, monitor coverage, distribute documents, compare responses, and keep communication tied to the opportunity. Bid Board Pro gives subcontractors a private pipeline for the invitations they receive, while TradeTapp adds qualification and risk review.
Those names matter at purchase time. Autodesk markets them as a connected family, not one universal BuildingConnected license. The browser-based products remain current, now under Autodesk Forma branding; proposals should list each entitlement and integration explicitly.
Pricing visibilityContact sales
BuildingConnected Pro, Bid Board Pro, and TradeTapp are sold separately by quote. Confirm products, seats, regions, integrations, onboarding, and Autodesk bundle rights.
