PlanGrid / Autodesk Build alternative

The SiteLive alternative to PlanGrid / Autodesk Build

Autodesk Build (PlanGrid's successor) is a strong drawings-and-field platform tied into the Autodesk design ecosystem. If you're evaluating alternatives for drawings & field collaboration, here is what SiteLive does differently — fairly stated, so you can choose with your eyes open.

Why teams look for a PlanGrid alternative

Most teams don't switch because their current tool is bad — they switch because the work outgrows it. The common thread we hear: records live in one system, the programme in another, the claim in a third, and nothing proves anything when a dispute lands. SiteLive was built as one operating system where the records generate themselves from the work and stand up as evidence.

What PlanGrid does well

  • Excellent sheet handling at scale
  • Tight BIM/design integration
  • Mature issue workflows

What SiteLive does differently

  • The model is a living twin — progress confirmed against it, claims replayed inside it, 4D played through it
  • Live collaborative markup with presence, and measured markups that price themselves
  • Drawings connect to bookings, quality, safety and money — not just issues
  • No per-seat tax on the whole site crew

Try it against your current setup

The honest way to evaluate an alternative is side by side on a live job. SiteLive's 7-day free trial gives you the full platform — set up a project, run a week of sign-ons, bookings and captures, and see what the records look like at the end of it.
