Organizations today can no longer afford to be locked into rigid, costly platforms that don’t scale with their needs. More firms are now choosing to transition from Procore to Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) — and the reasons are clear: better alignment with project workflows, significant cost efficiency, and deeper technology integration.
Why the shift is happening:
1. Seamless Workflow Integration: Eliminating Data Silos
Modern construction demands connected data from design to handover.
Procore users often report the need for third-party workarounds to integrate design models, RFIs, field data, and handover documentation — leading to fractured workflows and higher error rates.
With Autodesk Construction Cloud:
• Native connection to AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and BIM Collaborate workflows.
• Unified platform across design collaboration, document management, field execution, and handover.
• No need for manual data transfers or expensive custom integrations.
Result: Project teams reduce rework, eliminate lost documentation, and drive faster decision-making across the lifecycle.

2. Better Support for Complex Project Delivery Model
As design-build, IPD (Integrated Project Delivery), and modular construction rise, organizations need platforms that manage model-based workflows, prefabrication logistics, and multidisciplinary collaboration — not just task tracking.
ACC was purpose-built for these advanced delivery models.
Procore, by contrast, primarily addresses traditional project management, limiting its effectiveness on high-complexity, high-collaboration projects.
Switching to ACC empowers teams to:
• Manage multi-model coordination directly within the platform.
• Optimize preconstruction workflows with model-based quantity takeoffs.
• Support modular construction and prefab tracking within the same ecosystem.

3. Scalability and Global Project Enablement
Firms expanding across North America or internationally need a solution that scales without friction. Procore’s scaling often requires adding new licenses and services individually, which can become unwieldy and costly.
Autodesk Construction Cloud advantages:
• Centralized user management across projects and regions.
• Integrated platform for teams of all sizes and geographies.
• Enterprise security and compliance standards built-in.
Organizations switching to ACC report faster onboarding, easier administration, and better control across dispersed project teams.

4. Pricing Transparency and Flexibility: Reducing Unnecessary Overhead
One of the top reasons organizations are moving away from Procore is its pricing model.
Procore’s structure is typically based on a percentage of total construction volume, locking firms into high annual costs regardless of project activity. If your portfolio size changes — due to market conditions, pandemic impacts, or shifting client demands — your Procore costs remain fixed, even if revenue declines.
In contrast, Autodesk Construction Cloud offers:
• Modular licensing: Pay for only the tools you need, without bundling unnecessary features.
• Usage-based pricing options: Aligns with active project needs and scales up or down.
• More predictable budgeting: Firms can better manage costs without being penalized for project slowdowns.
Bottom Line: ACC enables construction firms to protect their margins, while Procore’s rigid fees increasingly strain budgets during market uncertainty.

5. Future-Readiness: AI and Predictive Insights
Construction leaders recognize that AI and predictive analytics are no longer optional for future success. Autodesk Construction Cloud is investing heavily in AI-powered tools like Construction IQ, design clash prediction, and safety risk forecasting.
Procore has lagged in offering native AI capabilities, often relying on third-party partners that add additional costs and complexity.
Choosing ACC today positions organizations to:
• Unlock project insights to proactively mitigate risks.
• Improve schedule predictability.
• Enhance safety outcomes without adding external tools.

Final Thoughts: Aligning with the Future of Construction
Construction executives are making strategic shifts to Autodesk Construction Cloud because they need:
• More cost control.
• More integrated workflows.
• More agility for complex projects.
• More intelligence to drive better decisions.
For firms that need deeper BIM integration, flexible pricing, and future-proof workflows, Autodesk Construction Cloud is proving to be the smarter, more scalable investment.
