Set up the Preconstruction Bundle

Note:

To access Forma Estimate, your company must have the Forma for Preconstruction Bundle subscription. This subscription includes licences to Forma Takeoff, Forma Estimate, Forma Data Management, BuildingConnected Pro, BidBoard Pro, TradeTapp and ProEst. For more information about subscribing to the Forma for Preconstruction Bundle, contact your hub representative.

In hubs with the Forma for Preconstruction Bundle, a hub administrator must assign users to a Preconstruction licence.

To assign a user to a Preconstruction licence:

Hub administrators can navigate to Hub Admin in Autodesk Forma or manage.autodesk.com to assign licences to hub members.

Click Members in the left navigation menu of Hub Admin to open the Hub members page.
Click a member to open the product access panel.
Under Member subscription, assign users to the Preconstruction licence using the drop-down selector.

Note: You can also assign any combination of individual product licences that are part of the Forma for Preconstruction Bundle to users, but only the Preconstruction license will enable Forma Estimate.

Once the Preconstruction licence is assigned to yourself or specific users, the new Estimate tool will appear alongside Takeoff in the Preconstruction left navigation menu for those users.

Note:

If you’re invited to a project created by a hub that is not subscribed to the Forma for Preconstruction Bundle, you will not be able to use Estimate with that project, even if you have a Preconstruction license for another hub.
