Newforma Konekt

Newforma Konekt is a cloud information-management platform for architecture, engineering, construction, and owner/operator teams. It is best suited to multi-party AECO projects that need BIM coordination and construction administration tied to one project record. Custom pricing and capabilities marked as coming soon are the main reasons to qualify requirements before adopting it.

Overview

Konekt connects drawings, models, comments, decisions, emails, files, tasks, and conversations into a searchable, auditable record. Search and document controls give project participants a clearer way to find current information and preserve why decisions were made. That is more valuable on complex, shared projects than for a small team seeking only a lightweight issue list or file repository.

The product is focused on AECO workflows. Newforma says it pioneered project information management in 2004 and launched Konekt in 2023. Its headquarters are in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA.

Key features

BIM coordination

The BIM Track package provides 2D and 3D model viewing, multi-model comparison, issue management in models, and mobile BIM coordination. Comparing multiple models in one workspace can help design and trade teams reconcile information without separating model review from issue follow-up. It is a strong reason to choose Konekt when BIM coordination is central; teams that do not work with models may gain little from this package.

Construction administration

CA Track manages RFIs and submittals, files emails, and tracks contract changes and approvals. Keeping those activities in the same project record can give owners, consultants, and contractors a more defensible trail from question to response and approval. Buyers needing only document storage do not need this broader administration layer.

Information management and integrations

Konekt centralizes communication and files while retaining searchable conversations, tasks, and decisions. Connectors include Microsoft Outlook and Teams, Autodesk Forma Data Management, SharePoint, Egnyte, Nasuni, Panzura, Power BI, Revit, and Procore. Info Track includes Open API access and Power BI integration, which suits organizations that need reporting or want to connect Konekt to existing systems rather than replace them.

Mobile, security, and support

The Konekt Mobile companion app supports field and office teams, including issue management with offline mode. Data hosting can be selected for the US, Canada, or Europe. The package comparison includes Microsoft SSO, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. Support is provided through a help center, customer community, email, and phone. AI Assist and mobile field reports are marked as coming soon, so they should not be treated as current capabilities.

Pricing

Konekt is paid software with pricing on request, so budgeting requires a conversation with Newforma. The package structure helps match capability to role, but published prices, seat terms, and trial terms are not provided.

• BIM Track: custom pricing; 2D and 3D model viewing, issue management, and mobile BIM coordination. Choose it when model review and coordination are the priority.
• Info Track: custom pricing; 500 GB storage per seat, Open API access, and Power BI integration. It fits teams that need substantial per-seat storage, reporting, or system connectivity.
• CA Track: custom pricing; RFI and submittal management plus contract change tracking and approvals. It is aimed at construction-administration workflows.

Organizations may need more than one package to cover BIM, information management, and CA work, so the scope of the quote matters as much as the headline price.

Platforms

Konekt runs on the web and provides Android and iOS apps. An API is available through Info Track, supporting integration-led deployments.

Who it's for

Architects, engineers, contractors, and owners or operators working on AECO projects are the intended audience. It is particularly appropriate when several organizations must share controlled project information, compare models, manage RFIs and submittals, and retain an auditable record. A smaller group needing one narrow function may find the package breadth and custom-sales process excessive.

Pros and cons

Pros

• One auditable project record: drawings, models, communications, files, tasks, and decisions remain connected and searchable.
• Broad AECO coverage: BIM coordination and construction administration sit alongside information management.
• Useful connectivity: Outlook, Teams, Revit, Procore, SharePoint, Power BI, and other listed systems can be connected.
• Field access: mobile issue management works offline, and regional hosting options support deployment requirements.

Cons

• Custom pricing: buyers cannot compare package costs or seat economics without contacting sales.
• Some capabilities are unfinished: AI Assist and mobile field reports are coming soon rather than current features.
• Package decisions matter: teams may need multiple tracks to cover their workflow, complicating scope and budgeting.

Alternatives

For a wider shortlist, see Construction Document Management Software, BIM Software, and Construction Management Software.

• Dalux is the better starting point for buyers wanting a freemium option, including a free punch-list tool with unlimited tasks and up to three active projects or buildings.
• ProjectTeam.com suits organizations that can use a no-cost Contributor plan for invited-project access to shared forms and files.
• BIMcollab is worth considering for a BIM-focused deployment with a free tier and a Basic annual plan at €12.50 per user/month, including 10 GB per space and one guest.
• Trimble Viewpoint Vista is an alternative for teams evaluating cloud-hosted or on-premises deployments.
• Newforma Project Center is another Newforma option with Standard and Contract Management editions, including RFIs, submittals, and field management in the latter.
• Newforma ConstructEx offers tailored pricing with no monthly subscription fees and unlimited users.
• Truvect is another paid web-and-mobile option.
• Autodesk Docs is a paid alternative with Android, iOS, and web access.

Verdict

Choose Newforma Konekt when an AECO team needs a shared, auditable project record that links BIM coordination with RFIs, submittals, contract changes, and connected communication. Look elsewhere if you need transparent self-serve pricing, a narrowly focused tool, or AI-assisted and mobile field-report workflows immediately.
