PlanGrid was a great blueprint viewer. Then Autodesk bought it for $875M and buried it inside Build. ForgedOps is a full AI command center — documents, estimating, scheduling, and autonomous ops in one platform.

Per-user pricing adds up fast. For a 25-person team, that’s $12K–$18K/year for document management alone.
Every module. Every AI capability. White-glove 60-day integration included.
ForgedOps is a full command center — documents, estimating, scheduling, compliance, and financials. PlanGrid was just document management, and Autodesk is sunsetting it.
22 autonomous AI agents built from day one. Valkyrie voice AI, predictive scheduling, AI-assisted estimating. PlanGrid was built in 2011 with zero AI and Autodesk hasn’t changed that.
$2,500/mo for unlimited users. PlanGrid’s per-user model means your costs grow with every hire — and you still need separate tools for estimating, scheduling, and compliance.
White-glove integration in 60 days. Migrating from PlanGrid to the Autodesk Build ecosystem? Expect months of platform consolidation and data migration headaches.
PlanGrid is being absorbed into Autodesk Build. ForgedOps is building forward with weekly AI agent updates, new modules, and a roadmap driven by contractor feedback.
Your data, your platform, your way. PlanGrid locks you into the Autodesk ecosystem. ForgedOps gives you full API access and data portability from day one.
60-day guided integration. Your data. Your workflows. Your AI command center.
