The OpenBIM Ecosystem
One unified browser platform replacing every desktop AEC application from BIM modelling, structural analysis and GIS to XR, digital twins, AI-driven design and a complete digital office. No installs. No hardware lock-in. 100% open standards.
Thirty-plus applications. Not a toolbox of disconnected files — one continuous, browser-native environment you move straight through.
Architecture, Engineering & Construction professionals are locked into expensive, fragmented, hardware-dependent ecosystems that quietly kill collaboration and innovation.
Closed formats like .rvt and .dwg chain entire supply chains to expensive licenses. True data portability remains a myth.
A single authoring seat runs ~$4,200/yr. A full AEC suite — model, analysis, clash, CDE — exceeds $15,000 per seat per year.
Traditional BIM demands $3,000+ workstations with dedicated GPUs. Tablets, thin clients and remote work are afterthoughts.
Professionals juggle 8–12 separate apps for modelling, analysis, scheduling, compliance and documentation — none truly interoperable.
Teams still trade files by email. Merge conflicts, version chaos and coordination failures cost the industry billions in rework every year.
IFC / openBIM is ISO-certified, yet treated as an export afterthought. No platform models, analyses and manages openBIM end-to-end.
Every tool the industry needs — unified in one browser-native ecosystem, orbiting a single source of truth. Drag a node, link a port, and watch the system breathe.

COREOffload heavy computation — clash, FEM, rendering, AI — to scalable cloud GPU workers.
PLANNEDExtensible plugin architecture. Third-party developers build and distribute custom modules.
CORETOBiE integrates VR, AR, MR and XR natively through WebXR — no apps, no plugins, no headset SDKs. Your BIM model becomes a living, walkable, interactive experience.
Step inside your building at 1:1 scale. Walk corridors, inspect MEP systems behind walls and experience natural lighting — all rendered in real time from your IFC model.
Point your phone at the job site and see the BIM model overlaid on reality. Verify rebar placement, check pipe routes and compare as-built vs. as-designed — in real time.
Connect IoT sensors to your BIM model. Monitor structural stress, temperature, humidity, occupancy and camera feeds in the 3D twin — with predictive maintenance alerts before failures happen.
AI suggests optimal structural layouts, detects anomalies, predicts costs and generates design alternatives. Every decision stays with you — the human is always in the control loop. AI proposes, you approve.
