 Detailed insight into how RDash and Autodesk Construction Cloud stack up against each other in pricing and features.
Rdash is a simple and easily adoptable software that brings rhythm across design, projects, finance, and procurement. It keeps the BOQ (Project Scope) at the center and ties progress, cashflows, margins, and quality control down to the item level. Also, Rdash is extensible to your clients and vendors to bring an all around rhythm on your project.
Built for fast adoption, Rdash is best fit for small and medium scale proejcts because it is simple enough for site teams and deep enough for CXO. for larger jobs, use Rdash as the digital backbone alongside specialized tools.
Why teams choose Rdash:
→ Best fit for small and medium scale construction projects
→ Adequate depth on both fronts i.e. progress tracking and financial management
→ Shortest cycle time, 90-day deployment guarantee
→ Dedicated Account Manager + On-Premise deployment support
*Pricing: RDash is priced on a per-user license model, so you scale seats as your team scale.
ACC is a leading construction management software with a bundle of modules such as Project Tracking, Estimations, Cost Control, and Documents Manager. ACC can be integrated with BIM Model, is ideal for streamlining project management and enhancing collaboration across large-scale construction projects. It is slightly bulky to setup and train compared to Rdash. Salient features:
→ Good for highly complex projects which are $1Bn+ in value
→ Great depth in design management with BIM Integration
→ You have to buy multiple modules separately
→ Set-up time is 6 months to 2 Years.
*Pricing: ACC is priced separately for every module. Generally 3-5x the cost of RDash.
Category & Features
Pre-sales / CRM
Rdash helps you smoothen the hand-off from sales to projects by bringing the project knowledge such as Design Iterations, Scope Changes, Quotations etc. together before you have won the project.
ACC primarily focuses on the project lifecycle after a contract has been awarded, lacking strong pre-sales CRM capabilities, built-in marketing integration, or a smooth lead-to-project conversion process. While it supports RFP through Bid Management, its proposal features are not fully integrated with CRM.
Lead capture & funnels
Built-in lead funnels; capture/import leads.
No CRM; lifecycle starts post project award
Marketing integration
Integrates with ads/website for lead intake.
No built-in marketing integration

Site Survey / Recce
Rdash offers Smart recce & technical survey through Mobile App. You can configure survey templates based on project types which guides the site surveyor to complete the comprehensive survey in one visit.
ACC offers good configurability for survey templates, though it is noted as being less user-friendly than RDash. ACC also provides industry-leading mobile support for assigning survey tasks to field teams and facilitates effective collaboration on survey documents, albeit with fewer contextual layers. Additionally, ACC has limited export format options for survey reports.

Design Management
RDash has a mini plangrid or a fieldwire built inside the design module where you can store design files, control versions, define approval workflows, and conduct digital review with design marking tools which are accessible both on mobile app as well as browser stack. RDash do not support BIM integration yet, it is a part of its roadmap.Â
ACC excels in design management and versioning, offering best-in-class BIM integration and native BIM 360 version control with audit trails. It provides highly mature design reviews with version comparison and markups, along with streamlined approval management. However, its external communication for sharing design files with vendors lacks WhatsApp integration.

RDash offers a fine tuned management of project scope (i.e. BOQ – bill of quantities) wherein you can track client confirmation on individual scope items, create BOQs from master catalogue of items, place order agains BOQ items, assign budget guardrails on BOQ elements, and much more.
ACC offers a fully integrated change order ecosystem and strong analytics for client scope. However, its client scope creation and sharing lacks RDash’s deep item-level control and customizability.

Orders
‘Order’ is the second most comprehensive module (after work progress) inside RDash to manage ‘all things payables’ inside a project. You can create an order batch linked to BOQ, set approval permission chain, and automate order creation and communication to vendors. Link orders to your ERP for seamless data management. You can manage supplier’s running invoices and final invoices and initiate payment requests. Also, manage imprest expanses of your site executives.
‘Order’ module allows you to share extend Rdash access (as collaborators) to your vendors and helps you automate reconciliation, change order management, and project tracking with your suppliers.
ACC provides fully customizable workflow automation for approval flows on purchase orders and invoices, along with good standardization support for rate contracts. It offers close feature parity with RDash for automatic purchase order generation and maintains an audit trail for vendor descoping and debits. ACC also shows close alignment in payment terms standardization and comprehensive vendor performance tracking through vendor-wise daily progress reports. However, its petty-cash/imprest management functionality is limited.

Installed Progress Tracking
RDash helps you establish a mechanism to capture installed % on the client scope (BOQ) at weekly or monthly frequency to be on top of their invoicing, collection, and monthly P&L. You can Configure item types and the progress tracking milestones to different item types. E.g. Production items such as furniture can be tracked in milestones such a Material Procured → Structuring Done → Ready for dispatch → Installed a site etc. while the site updates such a progress on ‘Raft foundation’ can be tracked in exact quantities or percentages. Rdash helps you track the real installed value of work against your client invoicing & cashflows, helping you control your exposure risk on a project.
ACC offers comparable safeguards against mis-reporting. Installed revenue tracking and the cashflow control is not as robust.

Catalogue
RDash allows you to create master catalogues of items called ‘Libraries’ which can be used to create BOQs. Master catalogue typically has comprehensive list of elements you are procuring or creating BOQs with. You can also store supplier rate contracts on the master catalogue. The catalogues also powers account management workflows for your key clients where you can build master catalogues for key accounts and share it with them.
ACC offers master catalogues and libraries. You can also manage supplier rate contracts but you have to buy the Cost Control Module separately
Comprehensive Element Master

Robust task workflows
RDash is a simple to use, cost-effective project management solution ideal for small and medium construction projects. In contrast, ACC is tailored for larger projects and can be complex. Because RDash heavily promotes collaboration across teams and believes in seamless information exchange between all departments, it is simply priced where you get all module access with a user license. In contrast, in ACC you have to buy separate modules for different departments. This individual module hypothesis not only increases the cost, but also makes the software complex and laden with redundent workflows across module, thereby making it bulky to operate.
To Summarise, RDash automates the entire project lifecycle, from survey to handover, facilitating seamless collaboration on a single platform. This ease of use leads to quicker project deliveries and better adherence to budgets. RDash’s user-friendly approach makes it a practical choice for a wide range of construction needs, avoiding the complexity that often comes with using ACC.
