Autodesk’s BIM 360 Plan uses building information modeling (BIM) in tandem with cloud-connected mobility to centralize and improve the process of lean construction planning.The software permits the creation of collaborative, centralized work plans by multiple stakeholders via the cloud, reducing the potential for coordination mismatches and removing the need for unwieldy paper printouts. Teams can access and update the work plan data housed centrally in the cloud irrespective of the time or location simply by using the BIM 360 Plan app on their iPads or conventional Web browsers on laptop and desktop computers.

BIM 360 Plan then builds upon this foundation by adding features for enhancing the process of lean construction planning.
