BuildTrace is an AI change manager for construction teams. Connect your Autodesk® Forma® project once, and BuildTrace pulls drawings, specifications, submittals, and schedules directly — no manual downloads, no parallel file structures.

For each revised drawing, BuildTrace produces:

• Visual overlay — additions in red, deletions in green, unchanged content in gray, aligned at the sheet and detail-block level.
• Structured change report — what changed, where on the sheet, severity, affected trades, and dimension deltas, all in machine-readable JSON.
• AI-assisted review — ROM cost impact, plus a prompt studio for drafting RFIs, PCOs, and CO audit notes against the actual design changes.

Built for GCs, subcontractors, and owners who can't afford to miss a revision between bid set and construction set, or between coordination cycles. Setup takes 5 minutes — your Forma Account Admin adds BuildTrace as a Custom Integration, optionally scoped to a single project. After that, every current and future project in scope shows up automatically.

Works alongside your existing Forma workflow. No new user accounts. No duplicated data. No re-uploads.

BuildTrace now integrates with Forma through Autodesk Custom Integration model: your hub Admin approves the app once, and every team member gains access to every project in scope — no per-user logins required. Multiple Forma accounts can be served from a single BuildTrace deployment, and the app now imports specifications, submittals, schedules, and photos from your projects in addition to drawings, with documents automatically wired into BuildTrace's AI Studio for RFI and change-order drafting. The original 3-legged login flow remains available as an alternate auth mode. Setup takes 5 minutes for your Forma hub Admin.
