Guardian for Revit

About Guardian

Guardian is a Revit add-in that trains your teams, cleans your models, protects your work, and tracks model performance - the add-in built to make Revit smarter and prevent costly mistakes before they happen.

Guardian helps firms reduce rework, improve consistency, and keep project standards on track by combining real-time user guidance, standards automations, proactive project protections, and model performance insights.

Since 2018, Guardian has been dedicated to solving long-standing challenges that plague the AEC industry. Rather than relying on manual oversight and reactive quality control, Guardian enables firms to proactively establish, maintain, and scale standards across projects, teams, and offices. It was built for the BIM managers, design technology leaders, and project teams who believe design should flow smoothly.

Four Ways Guardian Helps

Train Your Teams

Guardian helps users complete the work correctly the first time by delivering real-time guidance directly within Revit. BIM and design technology leaders can provide users with in-the-moment coaching and best practices as they work.

By reinforcing standards at the point of action, firms can improve graphical consistency, reduce common mistakes, and ensure best practices across project teams. Combined with project and user-level data, Guardian provides visibility into model performance and user activity, helping leaders identify training opportunities and make data-driven decisions.

Clean Your Models

Guardian automatically aligns a firm's Revit and graphical standards. With standards and mappings, firms can clean incoming content and seamlessly sync properties across projects. Additional Revit automations can handle workset assignment, viewport selection, and merging duplicate families.

By reducing manual effort and eliminating inconsistencies, Guardian helps teams spend less time fixing issues and more time delivering high-quality project work.

Protect Your Work

Guardian monitors critical project settings, standards, and modeled elements. Automated protections help prevent accidental edits, deletions, and changes that can introduce risk, rework, or project delays. Rather than discovering issues after they occur, teams can proactively maintain project integrity and confidence in their models.

Track Model Performance

Through Guardian Backstage, firms gain visibility into project health, model activity, and user behaviour across their organisation. These insights help BIM and design technology leaders identify opportunities for improvement, measure the impact of standards initiatives, and make more informed operational decisions.

Who Guardian Supports

Guardian is designed to support every role involved in project delivery:

• BIM managers - guide and train teams, enforce standards, and reduce costly mistakes
• Firm leaders - benefit from more efficient project delivery contributing to stronger business outcomes
• Designers and project teams - work confidently knowing they are aligned with firm standards and best practices

Why Firms Choose Guardian

Leading firms choose Guardian to improve Revit quality and model performance, train users more effectively, gain meaningful insights into model and team activity, and scale best practices across offices and project teams.

By helping firms establish standards, reinforce best practices, and prevent issues before they spread, Guardian transforms BIM management from a reactive process into a proactive strategy that supports better project outcomes and long-term growth. The distinction matters commercially: reactive QC finds problems after they have propagated through a model and its dependent views, at which point the fix cost is a multiple of prevention.

Client Feedback

"Guardian has saved us time, money, and frustration by helping us enforce standards at the source while giving us real insight through Backstage. It's helped us grow our templates, families, and team in a smarter, more strategic direction."
