A Common Data Environment for AECO

Forma Data Management provides a cloud-based common data environment designed specifically for the AECO industry (Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations). It connects teams, project data, and workflows into a single, structured platform, helping you manage information more effectively across the entire project lifecycle.

Key Benefits

Connected Project Data

Aligned Teams, Shared Information

Keep all stakeholders working from the same set of data in a centralised cloud workspace. This reduces version conflicts, limits duplication, and improves coordination across project phases.

Controlled Collaboration

Structured Workflows

Manage reviews, approvals, and deliverables through defined workflows. This ensures consistency, improves accountability, and supports more predictable project outcomes.

Clear Version Tracking

Reliable Project Records

Maintain a complete history of document changes and revisions. Teams can confidently work with up-to-date information while retaining access to previous versions when needed.

Reporting and Insights

Data-Driven Decisions

Access real-time project data through centralised reporting tools. Monitor progress, identify risks early, and support informed decision-making across teams.

View drawings and models directly in your browser without the need for downloads, improving accessibility and speed.

Reviews and Approvals

Manage document sign-off with structured workflows. Track progress, capture decisions, and ensure teams are working from approved information.

Custom Metadata and Attributes

Enhance file organisation with custom tags and attributes. Improve searchability and maintain consistency across projects.

Cross-Project Data Sharing (Bridge)

Share data securely across projects or teams without losing control. Maintain ownership while enabling collaboration.

Mobile Access

Access, update, and review project data from anywhere. Keep teams aligned with the latest information, whether on-site or in the office.

Included Capabilities

Content Catalogue

Centralise BIM content within a cloud-based library. Manage versions, standardise components, and share content across multiple projects to maintain consistency.

Forma Board

Capture design intent and support better decision-making. Use a shared visual workspace to compare options, review analysis, and align teams throughout project phases.

Autodesk Forma Ecosystem

Platform Integration

Forma Data Management integrates with the broader Autodesk Forma environment, enabling project data to flow between planning, design, and delivery tools.

It acts as the central data layer—ensuring that information remains structured, accessible, and consistent as teams move between different stages of a project.

Why It Matters

With all project data, workflows, and teams connected in one environment, Forma Data Management helps reduce errors, improve coordination, and provide better visibility across every stage of delivery.
