AutoCAD
Autodesk AutoCAD is a complete computer-aided design and drafting solution that transforms the way professionals conceptualize, document, and deliver projects. Built for precision and creativity, AutoCAD supports 2D drafting and 3D modeling with intelligent tools for solids, surfaces, and meshes. The AutoCAD 2026 release integrates Autodesk AI, automating repetitive tasks like object placement, markup interpretation, and drawing comparisons to save hours of manual effort. Users can collaborate seamlessly using Autodesk Docs, ensuring consistent document management and version control across teams. With built-in AutoLISP, APIs, and the Autodesk App Store, the software is endlessly customizable for specialized workflows. Its seven industry-specific toolsets—including Architecture, MEP, and Plant 3D—optimize productivity and deliver specialized functionality for each discipline. AutoCAD’s cloud connectivity enables real-time co-authoring and access from any device. Whether for buildings, infrastructure, or products, AutoCAD remains the most trusted platform for professional design innovation.

Plexxis Software
PLEXXIS is a subcontractor solution uniting project management, accounting, estimating, takeoff and mobile apps on a single tech stack.
Plexxis also provides 100% in-house implementation and support services and PLAIN LANGUAGE agreements that PROTECT SUBCONTRACTORS FROM;
1) UNFAIR SUBSCRIPTIONS: Lack of transparency of total cost to onboard, and/or misrepresentation of products and services while failing to provide fair options for cancellation.
2) CLOUD CUFFING: When software vendors charge license or subscription fees BEFORE the client is LIVE while also keeping client data hostage in order to extort additional payments.
3) SMOKE STACKING: When software vendors oversell the level of integration of products in a tech stack.
4) OVERAGES: When software vendor provides just service rates and non-committal plan or suggested cost to onboard in a way that sets the client up for change orders
