Use Autodesk Buzzsaw in Your  
BIM and IPD Workflows
Building information modeling (BIM) is an 
integrated process for exploring a project’s 
key physical and functional characteristics 
digitally—before it’s built. Autodesk BIM 
solutions facilitate an improved way 
of working, using a model created from 
coordinated, consistent design information. 
BIM and project delivery processes 
such as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) 
require new ways of working —across 
stakeholders, across companies, and across 
locations. By helping teams to efficiently 
and more securely centralize and share 
project data and models over the Internet, 
Autodesk Buzzsaw complements the BIM 
process by linking project team members, 
offering access to a shared digital project 
vision. This improved visibility helps all 
project stakeholders stay coordinated, 
improve accuracy, reduce waste, and make 
informed decisions earlier in the process and 
throughout the project lifecycle—facilitating 
the project’s success. 
Your projects are more complicated. Your schedules 
are tighter. Fewer people are responsible for more 
work, and they might be located down the hall or 
across the world. New project processes mean you 
need to share information securely and effectively 
with team members inside and outside your 
company and across the world. You need a way  
to connect your project team so they can easily 
access and manage up-to-date project information 
and communicate more effectively.

 Buzzsaw
®
 software as a service (SaaS) 
delivers document, data, and design management 
solutions to architecture, engineering, and 
construction (AEC) firms and owner-operators. 
Autodesk Buzzsaw helps organizations centralize 
and more securely exchange project information 
inside and outside their organization. And with 
proven SaaS technology, your company can focus 
more on project delivery and less on managing 
costly IT infrastructure. 
Accurate, Up-to-Date Design and  
Project Information
Autodesk Buzzsaw provides secure web access to 
project documents and data, from anywhere at any 
time. Distributed design teams, both inside and 
outside your organization, can find and manage 
the most current project information and models 
more quickly. Team members can better manage 
their workflows and help improve productivity by 
uploading and retrieving project design files directly 
from their Autodesk
®
 design applications, including 
software based on the AutoCAD
®
 and Autodesk
®
 
Revit
®
 software platforms. With more reliable, 
on-demand project information, your project 
stakeholders have permission-based access to the 
latest design information, helping to increase design 
coordination and improve quality. 
Better Communication Across Project Teams
Poor communication can increase the risk of project 
delays and costly change orders. Autodesk Buzzsaw 
enables the faster exchange of project documents, 
data, and designs between project team members, 
regardless of geographical location. Available in 
8 languages (English, Simplified Chinese, French, 
German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish), 
Buzzsaw helps you to work more easily with 
domestic and international project team members 
alike. And the software’s security capabilities and 
robust permissions administration help keep the 
right people connected to the right information. 
More efficient data sharing enhances the way your 
project teams work together, which can result in 
faster project delivery with fewer errors. Sharing 
data electronically can also help lower costs and 
avoid the delays associated with the production 
and distribution of paper-based designs and 
documentation. 
Secure, On-Demand Information Management 
Help reduce the need to maintain a costly and 
complex IT infrastructure by relying on SaaS 
technology for your document, data, and design 
management. Using Autodesk Buzzsaw, you can 
store all your project information in a more 
secure, professionally managed environment. 
Efficiently share project data with your extended 
team—without worrying about managing necessary 
IT resources. The Autodesk Buzzsaw SaaS solution 
lets you more securely share information externally 
without compromising your firewall or exposing 
your corporate network.
