_Autodesk leads the future of construction with a design-to-operate platform, embedded
AI agents, and open partner ecosystem._

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today 
announced that IDC MarketScape has positioned the company in the Leaders Category
of the inaugural _IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Construction Management Software 2026
Vendor Assessment_ (September 2026, IDC #US54135526).

The assessment evaluated Autodesk’s construction management capabilities and strategies.
According to the IDC MarketScape, "For the purposes of this research, the IDC definition
of construction management software for this report is as follows: Software platforms
that manage the construction lifecycle, including the following segments: BIM integration,
coordination, conditioning/preparation, preconstruction; project management; virtual
design and construction (VDC) and project team collaboration."

_IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the
competitive fitness of technology and suppliers in a given market. The research 
methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and
quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each supplier’s
position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures supplier product,
go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures
alignment of supplier strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5 year timeframe.

In its profile, IDC MarketScape notes Autodesk’s three areas of strength:

 ◦ Deep construction industry experience combined with a design-to-operate platform
   that includes project and geospatial information, as well as a digital twin offering
   to simplify post-project handoff. 
 ◦ Embedded AI agents that are targeted for certain tasks (model info, schedule,
   RFIs, submittals) as well as a general Autodesk Assistant for cross-domain work
   and model analysis. 
 ◦ Partnership ecosystem model: Autodesk Platform Services (formerly called Forge)
   provides a set of applications, APIs, and an open approach for development of
   new applications. It also has multiple construction communities and partner advisory
   councils to drive close customer engagement. One large general contractor customer
   describes its long-time relationship with Autodesk as "mutually beneficial;" 
   other customers express similar sentiments.

In its guidance to buyers, IDC MarketScape says to consider Autodesk when seeking"
a single construction management platform across the project life cycle that supports
BIM visualization, model coordination, preconstruction, project management, and 
post-project operational hand-off, as well as an extensive, strong partner ecosystem
of providers and a global team that complements the suite of products."

"Construction management software is increasingly being evaluated on its ability
to connect workflows, data, and project teams across the construction lifecycle,"
said Jeffrey Hojlo, research vice president, industrial ecosystems, engineering,&
product innovation strategies, IDC. "Autodesk’s positioning as a Leader reflects
its broad construction management capabilities, investments in embedded AI, and 
established partner ecosystem. Together, these are important considerations for 
organizations seeking to improve collaboration and continuity throughout project
delivery."

**Connecting construction workflows through Autodesk Forma**

Autodesk is leading the shift toward more connected, AI-powered project delivery.
[Autodesk Forma](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4808279-1&h=2746000374&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.autodesk.com%2Fcompany%2Fautodesk-platform%2Faec&a=Autodesk+Forma),
the industry cloud for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), unites
architects, engineers and builders in one connected process instead of a chain of
handoffs, using AI to weigh key decisions against desired outcomes, like cost, schedule
and sustainability requirements. Forma’s open ecosystem includes more than 400 integrations
through technology partners and Forma Construction Connect, giving construction 
teams the flexibility to work with the tools they already use.

The construction management strengths noted by IDC MarketScape are central to that
strategy, helping Autodesk build stronger connections across the AEC project lifecycle.

"Construction is entering a new era, where information needs to move with a project
and inform decisions from design through delivery," said Lalith Subramanian, vice
president, product and engineering, Autodesk Construction Solutions. "I believe 
IDC MarketScape’s recognition is significant because it highlights both the strength
of our construction capabilities and our design-to-operate platform. That’s the 
future we’re building with Autodesk Forma, bringing design, engineering and construction
closer together, with AI embedded in project workflows to help teams move faster,
make better decisions earlier, and design and build with greater confidence."

Autodesk is continuing to expand its construction capabilities within Forma. At 
Autodesk University 2026, the company announced Forma Bid, now in beta, to help 
contractors compare bids and identify potential gaps in scope; AI-powered insights
in Project Home in Forma Build that surface project issues needing attention; and
the Daily Log Agent, which turns spoken jobsite updates into structured daily logs.
