Autodesk Construction Cloud becomes Forma (2026): What does this mean for your projects?
March 2026As of March 24, 2026, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) has been renamed and integrated into Autodesk's industry cloud, Forma.
If you already use Autodesk Construction Cloud, the message is simple:
You don't need to do anything – your current setup will remain unchanged.
At the same time, the change reflects a broader movement towards more cohesive platforms in the construction industry. It is particularly relevant if you want to strengthen how your organisation manages projects and collaborate across the entire lifecycle.
What changes?
Autodesk Construction Cloud becomes part of Forma – Autodesk's industry cloud for the AECO sector.
It is one step on a larger journey towards bringing planning, design and execution closer together in one unified platform. As part of this transition, several products will receive new names in the Forma platform.
What does this mean for you as a customer?
This update is primarily a rebranding and platform alignment, not a system or workflow change.
What stays the same in Autodesk Forma:
- Same user interface and user experience.
- No changes to URLs, logins, APIs, or integrations.
- No changes to licenses or user access.
- No impact on workflows or automations.
- No data migration – all projects, users, and settings remain exactly as they are.
What should you pay attention to?
- Updated names, logos and branding in the platform.
- New Autodesk email domain for customer communications.
- The new domain should be whitelisted by March 24, 2026.
In short: You can continue working exactly as before – just with updated names.

Perspective: what this means for the industry
While this change requires no immediate action, it reflects Autodesk’s direction toward more connected project environments.
At this stage, it is primarily a renaming and alignment. However, it represents early steps toward a more unified approach to connecting planning, design, and construction over time.
“What we are seeing is a shift from connected tools to a connected platform. This will better enable collaboration and result in more consistent decision-making across all stages of a project.”
Collin van Kooten, Business Developer, NTI CAD & Company
This points to a continued focus on:
- Stronger connections between project phases
- More consistent use of data across the lifecycle
- A more integrated approach to project delivery over time
“As we see it, this is part of a broader move toward more data focus, more connected processes and more effective lifecycle management not only for the architects, engineers, and construction companies, but for the whole ecosystem from supplier to owner. It is not about immediate change, but about the direction the platform is evolving in.”
Collin van Kooten, Business Developer, NTI CAD & Company
If you are already using Autodesk Construction Cloud, this confirms the direction of the platform you rely on. If you are looking to strengthen how your organisation manages projects and collaboration, it provides a clearer indication of where development is heading.
