| 1. How do I benefit from Autodesk Buzzsaw if I am a Building Owner or Homebuilder? |
For owners and project managers, Autodesk Buzzsaw provides heightened project visibility, which enables more timely decision making and can directly translate into faster time to market and optimized profitability. Moreover, the ability to create flexible and customizable views that adapt to your processes and integrate with your company’s data makes it easier to oversee and manage multiple projects simultaneously. For team members, up-to-date summaries of project contents, task lists, and action items all enhance accountability and help to reduce errors.
All project team members get instant, anytime access to up-to-date project documents and designs. This access provides superior insight into projects for all team members. As a result, this access helps to save money on document printing and distribution, reduces travel expenses, and minimizes planning and construction errors due to outdated information. Buzzsaw provides enhanced control over project processes and improved communication and collaboration for all project team members, throughout the project lifecycle – from design through bidding, procurement, and construction. |
| 2. How do I benefit from Autodesk Buzzsaw if I am an Architect or Engineer? |
| Many architects and engineers use Buzzsaw for collaborative project management with their clients and consultants. All project documents, including design and construction drawings, are centralized for easy team access at any time, so that all team members get the right information at the right time. Autodesk Buzzsaw maintains detailed activity logs at multiple levels: site, project, file, and user, so you can keep an audit trail of all document changes and user actions. The Buzzsaw service includes viewing and markup tools for design files, including DWG, DWF, DXF, and DGN file formats, so your clients can review your designs without AutoCAD. |
| 3. How can my team use Buzzsaw for construction administration and management? |
With Buzzsaw, you can manage all of your construction project drawings, documents, and processes. Buzzsaw Professional offers industry-standard forms to help you get the job done on time and on budget. Buzzsaw forms include RFIs, submittals, change order requests, correspondence, daily reports, meeting minutes, Architect's Supplemental Instructions (ASI), additional RFI, bulletin, transmittal, addendum, and print order form. Project managers can assign specific routing rules for each form and process, with configurable timers, reminders, and tracking features. Using standardized forms for all construction processes makes it easier to track and report progress to everyone involved.
In addition, Autodesk Buzzsaw Professional includes a complete submittals package module, designed to save significant time in the submittals review cycle. The module includes multi-item submittal packages with per-item review status, transmittals, re-submittals, and automated industry-standard review and approval process flow. The new submittals package module allows you to set up the submittal package schedule, issue transmittals with each submittal package, track the status of individual items, and easily route each item to the appropriate reviewers with automated email notifications and reminders. |
| 4. How can my team use Buzzsaw for bidding and procurement? |
| With Buzzsaw, you can manage your bidding process more effectively and drastically reduce your shipping and printing costs. Post your project drawings—we recommend using the Design Web Format™ (DWF) functionality, specifications, and instructions to bidders on your Buzzsaw site. Create a private group for your bid participants using the Buzzsaw service’s group management features, and create a folder with the “Deposit” permission for your bidders to securely, submit proposals electronically, to provide you confidentiality and control over bid document distribution and review. |
