Solibri
What Solibri is
Solibri provides structured BIM model validation to check geometry, data, and classification before construction begins. Its Starter plan covers IFC federation, visual inspection, issue identification, and property and classification review. Essential adds Revit federation, predefined rule checks, clash detection, and integrations for BCF and common data environments; it also supports issue management, presentations, and reporting. Higher plans add custom rules, IDS workflows, information takeoff, point cloud checking, and centralized validation. Listed connections include Autodesk Forma, Archicad, BIMcollab, Dalux, and Oracle Aconex. Solibri also offers WebChecker, a browser-based beta for uploading IFC models, running checks, reviewing results, and exporting findings as PDF or BCF. Security+ is a separate offering for offline and air-gapped validation. Desktop support includes Windows 10 or 11 and macOS Ventura or later. The recommended minimum is 16 GB RAM, with 32 GB or more recommended for larger models; a graphics card supporting OpenGL 3.3 or better is specified. Annual named-license plans range from Starter at €99 a year to Security+ at €4,999 a year.
