In this course, you’ll build the skills to manage construction project workflows in Forma Build within a connected cloud environment. You’ll learn how to move confidently through project information, streamline communication workflows, and control project costs using integrated tools designed to support real-world project delivery.

You’ll focus on three key areas. First, you’ll jump into Forma Data Management to access and navigate Forma drawings, models, and specifications. Next, you’ll use project communication tools to create and track Issues, RFIs, Submittals, Meetings, Correspondence, Assets, and Forms. Finally, you’ll explore Cost Management tools, including schedules, budgets, payment applications, and forecasting, to strengthen financial visibility and control across the project lifecycle.

By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to navigate Forma Build with confidence, coordinate project communication more effectively, and support cost control workflows in a digital construction environment.

Access and navigate project information in Forma Data Management.
