Solibri
Solibri is IFC-first BIM quality assurance software that checks federated models for geometry, clashes, clearance, information completeness, accessibility, fire safety, and rule-driven compliance, then packages results for coordination through BCF and integrations with common authoring tools.
Solibri Office, the flagship desktop role, imports IFC and other supported model sources, applies customizable rulesets, and moves issues into structured workflows that design and construction teams can track to closure. Marketing pages describe more than seventy predefined rule templates plus user-defined rules, tying checks to classifications, filters, information takeoff, and reporting exports (Solibri, 2026).
Public counters on solibri.com reference on the order of thirteen million hours used in a year, about two billion issues resolved, and roughly one hundred countries where customers work, which gives a sense of adoption scale even though your project metrics will differ (Solibri, 2026).
Beyond clash-only coordination, Solibri promotes checks for regulatory-style requirements, accessibility, fire safety, model revision discipline, and data handover topics such as IDS and COBie-style information checks when your rules demand them. Autorun and API hooks help repeat suites on a schedule, while BCF Live Connector messaging keeps issue conversations linked to models.
The wider Solibri lineup adds cloud checking, field review, and a free viewer for stakeholders who only need to consume validated results, so teams can pair desktop depth with lighter roles where appropriate (Solibri, 2026).

Frequently asked questions
Does Solibri replace Navisworks or Revit coordination?
Solibri focuses on rule-based QA and structured issues over IFC-class data. Many teams run Solibri alongside coordination tools, using each where it fits contract workflows.
What file formats does Solibri support?
Marketing copy centers on IFC import for openBIM exchange. Authoring-tool specifics vary by version, so confirm the compatibility matrix for your Solibri release before you standardize.
Can Solibri check building codes automatically?
Solibri provides templates and customization for code-style checks, but engineers still interpret local amendments. Treat outputs as decision support, not a substitute for professional of record review.
How does Solibri pricing work?
The public pricing page lists annual starting prices for Solibri Office and Solibri CheckPoint in multiple currencies, plus contact-only products such as Solibri Site. Always verify the cart on store.solibri.com for your region.
What is Solibri Anywhere?
Solibri Anywhere is a free viewer for reviewed models so owners and field partners can comment without a full Office license.
Does Solibri work with BCF?
Yes. Product pages describe BCF Live Connector workflows so issues stay tied to model views and collaborators can respond inside connected tools.
