About Bridge
Bridge is the enabling technology that lets you easily share project information with other Autodesk Construction Cloud projects and accounts. It creates copies of content in other projects so that other stakeholders can access relevant project information in their own projects. This improves cross-team collaboration, reduces rework, and improves control of project information.
You can share content from tools like Files, Sheets, and RFIs. Then track and manage the shared content in the Bridge tool.

Who Can Use Bridge
| Role | Use case |
| General Contractors | General contractors may want to split different parts or phases of large-scale projects into their own project instances. Bridge enables general contractors to share relevant documentation that applies from one project to another. |
| Subcontractors | Specialty contractors often struggle to access the right data and information. They depend on the general contractor who owns the project in Autodesk Construction Cloud. Bridge can help subcontractors access the information they need if they are removed from a project. Once shared, data remains in a shared project. This lets subcontractors control and manage their own documentation processes. |
| Designers | Design teams create valuable IP in their work. They don't necessarily want to share this with all project stakeholders. Bridge lets them select the documents that need sharing. They can also choose not to share updated versions. This flexibility lets them maintain their IP in their own account without risking privacy concerns. |
| Owners | Owners require visibility into project progress. They may also require certain deliverables from construction teams. Beyond access, they want to own all documentation. They don't want it nested under a GC's project instance. Bridge can help construction teams share relevant information with owners. This lets owners own and control all data from their own infrastructure. |
Key Functionalities of Bridge
Share content with other projects
You can share the following content with other projects:
-
Note: You can also share project items like submittals and reports to the Files tool. Then use Bridge to share them with other projects. Learn more
Sheets (Autodesk Build)
RFIs (Autodesk Build)
As-builts (Autodesk Build)
You can also choose to automatically sync the content you share. When a piece of content is updated, the updated content will automatically sync to the projects it's been shared with. This means that all the stakeholders you've shared to have access to the most current information. Then you can manage these automations you create.
Receive content from other projects
You can view and manage the incoming content going into your project.
Import content from other projects
You can import content from other projects into your project in the Bridge Tool. Learn how in:
