How Does Autodesk Design Review Streamline AEC Projects?

Autodesk Design Review software streamlines your design review process with custom markup and approval tools that help speed the project to completion. Now team members can accurately review D and D designs digitally, o er feedback quickly and easily, and track and round-trip their changes while cutting days o the review cycle.

1 Design

Speed designs to approval and improve communication using Autodesk Design Review softwares intuitive digital review, measure, and markup tools for D and D designs. Gather client and management feedback early. Review comments digitally in AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD, or Revit-based software, streamlining revisions.

2 Consultant Collaboration

Improve collaboration with structural, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), landscape, and other engineers, and cut review cycles by up to days using Autodesk Design Review software for internal and external reviews.

3 Construction Validation

Gain insight early in the process, securely sending designs to the general contractor for constructability reviews. Combine all project information such as construction cost estimates and project timelines in Design Review software. In addition, Autodesk Buzzsaw, with DWF technology built in, helps expedite processes with bidding and project management tools.

MEP Engineers

Enable on-site markups and easy digital tracking and communication of construction changes back to the lead architect. Speed access to any needed paper-based plans thanks to DWF technology integration with large-format printers. Once construction is completed, building inspections move quickly and can be signed o digitally by government agencies using Design Review markup and approval tools.
