Buyer answer
Is CAD Guardian the right path for this service?
CAD Guardian LLC provides founder-led ACC, Forma, Revit, and Construction Data Migration for Construction project managers, IT directors, VDC leads, and engineering operations teams retiring old data/document systems or connecting ACC, Forma, Revit context, ERP, scheduling, and field systems. Use this page when the production system needs scoped architecture, implementation, and handoff without a large vendor chain.
Strong fit signals
- Construction teams with ACC, BIM 360, Autodesk Docs, or legacy document-management environments needing ERP, scheduling, or BI integration.
- Owners migrating from BIM 360 to ACC who need a governed transition, not a raw Autodesk migration guide.
What to send
- System or workflow causing drag
- Current failure mode and business impact
- Autodesk Inventor API, MicroStation, SolidWorks, CAD, quote/BOM, PDF/DXF, label, .NET, SQL, ERP, PDM/PLM, or ACC environment
- Timeline, access constraints, and decision owner
- What a successful first phase must prove
First paid step
A $50 discovery call produces a written go/no-go recommendation, risk notes, and the first scoped phase if the problem is a fit.

Execution path
ACC API integration connecting your Autodesk environment to ERP, scheduling, or BI targets.
BIM 360 → ACC migration plan with data governance, permission mapping, and rollback-safe execution.
Retired data-system migration plan covering source inventory, field mapping, deduplication, archival posture, and validation gates.
Document management and CAD standardization review for folder taxonomy, naming conventions, Revit/CAD context, permissions, metadata, and controlled handoff.

Best fit / not a fit
Best fit
- Construction teams with ACC, BIM 360, Autodesk Docs, or legacy document-management environments needing ERP, scheduling, or BI integration.
- Owners migrating from BIM 360 to ACC who need a governed transition, not a raw Autodesk migration guide.
- Teams retiring old databases, file shares, spreadsheets, or document systems into governed ACC/Forma-ready workflows.
- VDC and BIM teams that need Revit project context, CAD standards, naming conventions, folders, permissions, and document metadata to agree.
- VDC leads building RFI, submittal, or issue pipelines that feed downstream project controls.
- IT and ops teams who need a bounded integration engagement with acceptance criteria, not open-ended T&M.
Not a fit
- Autodesk Construction Cloud end-user training or BIM modeling work.
- Pure Revit modeling, civil modeling, or structural BIM work without a data, migration, standards, or automation component.

Glossary
- Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)
- The Autodesk cloud platform for construction project management, connecting design, document management, and field execution workflows.
- BIM 360
- The predecessor Autodesk construction platform that ACC replaces, used for document management, field execution, and design coordination.
- ACC API
- The Autodesk Construction Cloud REST API surface used to build integrations, extract project data, and connect ACC to external systems.
- Autodesk Forma
- Autodesk cloud software used in early-stage planning and design workflows; CAD Guardian positions Forma work around governed data movement, planning context, and handoff into downstream Autodesk systems.
- Revit document context
- The project, file, model, view, sheet, parameter, and metadata context around Revit deliverables that must stay understandable inside document-management and reporting workflows.
- Field-to-office pipeline
- A governed data flow that moves RFI, submittal, issue, or inspection data from field systems into cost, schedule, and reporting platforms.

Scope & Pricing
You receive a clear proposal with fixed scope, timeline, pricing, and success criteria — a document your team can evaluate internally.
Contract
Simple MSA + Order Form. No multi-year lock-ins. Timelines and deliverables live in a shared project tracker, not buried in legal.
Kickoff & Delivery
Shared roadmap with task owners, weekly check-ins, and a named point of contact. I project-manage delivery the same way I would an internal priority.
FAQ
ACC / Forma / Revit Data Systems questions
FAQ
Yes. ACC API integration uses governed boundaries with validation, idempotency, and retry logic. Target systems have included ERP item masters, scheduling platforms, and internal reporting layers.
Migration runs in phases with validation gates at each stage. Source systems, document metadata, permissions, folder structures, naming standards, and downstream reports are mapped before data moves. The production team keeps working in the existing system until the ACC environment is validated.
Yes. The first phase inventories legacy databases, spreadsheets, file shares, document libraries, CAD standards, Revit context, and reporting dependencies. Then CAD Guardian maps what should migrate, what should archive, what needs cleanup, and what should become an ACC/Forma-ready data or document workflow.
Yes when Revit is part of a broader document-management, metadata, standards, migration, or integration problem. The focus is not pure modeling; it is making Revit-related project context, files, folders, permissions, naming conventions, and downstream systems trustworthy.
Yes. The ACC API exposes RFI, submittal, and issue data that can feed cost, schedule, and risk reporting. The pipeline includes a validation layer and audit log.
Engagements are scoped and bounded by phase — discovery, integration build, and stabilization. Each phase has scope, timeline, and acceptance criteria before the next starts.
