Vrex
Vrex is multi-user virtual reality collaboration software for AEC teams that turns federated BIM, CAD, and E57 point clouds into shared review rooms with desktop or headset access, BCF-style issue capture, and live connectors to platforms such as Autodesk Construction Cloud and Navisworks.
Walk an owner through a future lobby without asking them to read a floor plan stack. Vrex focuses on that class of problem: synchronized walkthroughs where engineers, contractors, and non-modelers share one coordinated 3D context instead of exporting static renders whenever opinions change.
Projects spin up as hosted spaces. You add geometry or scans through manual uploads or vendor-built links to common data environments and authoring tools, then invite participants who may join in VR, from meeting-room setups, or from a standard laptop so nobody is blocked for lacking a headset. Coordination vendors have publicly described syncing issues with Vrex for remote design reviews (BIM Track, 2020). Session hosts keep model updates aligned with source systems, while reviewers leave notes, photos, and issues that tie back to open coordination habits such as BCF.
The integration pages spell out practical data paths. The Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360 connector, for example, lists supported exchange formats IFC, NWD, NWC, JT, and E57 point clouds and explains that Vrex generates VR-ready rooms without manual file shuffling once the cloud project is authorized. The Navisworks path highlights NWD and NWC uploads or a companion plugin so coordination models and laser scans reach the same review space.
Commercial access is positioned around expert demos and pilots rather than a public rate card: several product and integration pages invite you to try for free or book a demo, while list pricing stays with sales. That pattern suits enterprise construction buyers who need headset policies, security review, and integration scoping before rollout.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Native emphasis on multi-user sessions and mixed join modes (VR, room, laptop)
- Direct ACC and BIM 360 ingestion without hand-carried files per vendor copy
- Stated support for IFC, NWD, NWC, JT, and E57 in the ACC integration page
- BCF-oriented issue workflows called out on the how-it-works page
Cons
- No public price list on the main marketing site; budget needs a sales conversation
- Heavy VR workflows still depend on capable GPUs and supported headsets
- Primary marketing is English-language global AEC even though the company is Norwegian
Key features
Multi-user VR and desktop sessions: Shared project rooms for headsets, conference-room VR, cave systems, or laptop observers.
CDE and authoring sync: Direct project links for Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360, plus Navisworks workflows with NWD, NWC, or plugin-based publishing.
Wider platform connectors: Documented hooks for tools such as Navisworks, ACC, Catenda Hub, Newforma Konekt, StreamBIM, Aconex, Bimplus, and buildagil to refresh geometry.
Point cloud friendly: E57 and related scan paths are called out so teams can review registered point clouds without converting everything to meshes first.
Issue capture: Notes, images, BCF-standard issue tracking, and integrations back toward BIM coordination stacks.
Inclusive UX: Positioning emphasizes participation for stakeholders who are not daily BIM operators.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Vrex cost and can I try it before buying?
The public marketing site steers visitors to talk to an expert, request a demo, or start from a try-for-free call-to-action on integration pages, but it does not publish per-seat or per-project list prices. Treat budgeting as quote-based and confirm licensing, hosting, and support terms with Vrex sales. Use the official signup or demo request forms on vrex.no rather than third-party price tables.
Which operating systems and devices support Vrex sessions?
Vendor copy positions Vrex for VR headsets, conference-room VR, personal computers, and laptop observers so teams can mix immersive and non-immersive participants. Navisworks-oriented workflows imply a Windows-heavy authoring environment even when guests join from lighter clients. Validate exact client downloads, Mac support, and headset compatibility with the success team before you standardize hardware.
Which model and point cloud formats can Vrex ingest from Autodesk Construction Cloud?
The ACC and BIM 360 integration page lists IFC, NWD, NWC, JT, and E57 as supported formats and states that models are processed into VR-ready rooms after the cloud connection is authorized. That gives federated BIM and laser-scan data a defined path without manual re-export for every meeting. Always confirm any format or size limits that apply to your tenant tier during onboarding.
How does Vrex support Navisworks-based coordination workflows?
The Navisworks integration page describes uploading NWD or NWC packages and point cloud scans directly, or using a plugin so coordination teams can push aggregated models into Vrex with a short workflow. The goal is to remove duplicate file distribution inside the team while still letting reviewers join without a local Navisworks install. Pair that with BCF or connected issue tools when you need tickets to return to your main coordination hub.
Vrex vs Autodesk Workshop XR: how should an ACC-heavy team choose?
Autodesk now markets Workshop XR as its immersive ACC-connected review path for customers migrating from the former IrisVR and The Wild products. Vrex still pitches neutral connectors across multiple CDEs and coordination products, which can matter when your portfolio spans Autodesk and non-Autodesk sources. If you are already standardized on ACC end-to-end, compare Autodesk's XR roadmap, data residency, and bundle economics against Vrex's multi-vendor integration list before you commit.
Who gets the most value from Vrex on live construction and design projects?
Testimonials on the homepage cite BIM leads, contractors, and internationally known design offices that need inclusive reviews with executives or site-based staff. The product targets anyone who must align technical and non-technical stakeholders inside the same 3D context. It is strongest when coordination already produces Navisworks aggregates, ACC-hosted models, or large scans that deserve guided walkthroughs rather than flat sheets alone.
