ATOM × Autodesk Forma: Automating Construction QA with Seamless Issue Management

Written By Tomer Gat

Construction quality control often involves a fragmented, manual workflow.

A site team identifies an issue, documents it, uploads the information to a platform, creates an issue, assigns it to the right person, and then tracks it until it is resolved.

This process takes time and creates unnecessary friction between site teams, engineers, and project managers.

With the new ATOM × Autodesk Forma integration, this workflow becomes automated.

 

From Site Detection to Issue Management

ATOM continuously analyzes construction sites using cameras, AI, and automated site analysis.

When ATOM identifies a deviation or quality issue, the issue can now be automatically synchronized with Autodesk Forma Issues.

The workflow is simple:

ATOM detects the issue → ATOM creates the issue → The issue is sent to Forma → The project team manages and tracks it in Forma

This eliminates the need to manually recreate issues that have already been identified by ATOM.

 
 

One Connected Workflow

The integration connects ATOM's automated construction analysis with the issue management environment already used by the project team.

Instead of switching between platforms, project teams can receive and manage ATOM-generated issues directly within their existing Forma workflow.

This creates a continuous process from site observation to issue resolution.

ATOM provides automated eyes on site, while Forma provides the environment for managing and tracking the issues.

 

Turning Construction Data into Action

The goal is not simply to identify more issues.

The goal is to help construction teams act on issues earlier.

When a deviation is identified during construction, the earlier it is discovered, the easier and less expensive it is to correct.

By automatically transferring detected issues into Forma, ATOM helps reduce manual work, improve communication, and shorten the path from detection to resolution.

 

A Single Source of Action for the Project Team

As Idan Kochavi, Project Manager, explains:

“Finally, there’s a one-stop shop for construction supervision and quality. Instead of working across multiple platforms, ATOM integrates directly with Forma and automatically finds the issues, opens them, and presents them in Forma. Everything I need is in one place.”

 

What This Integration Enables

  • Automated issue creation from ATOM-detected deviations

  • Direct synchronization with Forma Issues

  • Less manual data entry for site teams

  • Faster communication of quality issues to the responsible team members

  • Centralized issue management and tracking

  • A connected workflow from site detection to resolution

The result is a more efficient approach to construction QA, where site intelligence can move directly into the tools project teams already use.
