Solibri Essential

Solibri Essential is the coordination tier of Solibri's BIM quality assurance software, built for project teams moving from visual model review to structured checking. It federates IFC and native Revit models, runs a predefined set of rule-based checks for model health, required information and clashes, and manages issues through full BCF support. Essential connects natively to Autodesk BIM 360 and Forma, Procore, Trimble, SharePoint and OneDrive, so teams can check models where they already store them.

Solibri Essential Overview

Solibri Essential is where coordination stops relying on someone spotting problems in a 3D view. Teams run a ready-made set of checks before coordination meetings, so the meeting starts from a list of real issues rather than a model walkthrough. It includes everything in Solibri Starter and focuses on applying consistent checks rather than writing custom rules, which stay in the higher tiers.

Key features

  • Federated models – open, combine and update multiple IFC and native Revit models in one aligned project
  • Predefined rule-based checks – model health (duplicates, broken relationships, missing names), information checks against LOI and IDS requirements, and hard and soft clash checks, including accessibility clearances
  • Clash detection – rule-based and quick clash checks in the 3D viewer, with filtering to cut noise
  • Measurement and inspection – measuring tools, data viewer, filters, hyperlinks, space grouping, and company and project libraries
  • Full BCF support – create presentations and issues, sort and manage them, produce coordination reports, and sync with major BCF servers
  • Native integrations – work directly with models stored in Autodesk Forma and BIM 360, Procore, OneDrive, SharePoint and Trimble

Who it's for
Essential is aimed at coordination leads, growing firms standardizing their model checks, and project teams moving from informal review to a repeatable process, without the setup needed for custom rule governance.

Pricing
From $1,428 per license per year.

Solibri CheckPoint

Solibri CheckPoint is an easy-to-use, cloud based model checking solution for Revit and IFC models that seamlessly connects with ACC or Procore. Plug and play to run automatic model checking within minutes.

Solibri Office

Solibri Office is a BIM quality assurance and model-checking solution that helps project teams validate building models before construction. It enables architects, engineers, and contractors to identify clashes, missing or incorrect data, clearance issues, and code-related problems through customizable rule-based checks. By improving model coordination, issue tracking, and information accuracy, Solibri helps reduce rework, support better decisions, and make projects more reliable, coordinated, and buildable.

Solibri Starter

Solibri Starter is the entry-level edition of Solibri, giving individual professionals and small teams a low-cost way to open, combine and inspect IFC models. Users can review elements in 3D with their properties, materials and quantities, highlight issues, and communicate through openBIM BCF. Starter can also open checking results produced in Solibri Essential, Advanced or Premium, so wider project teams can review findings without a full checking license. It costs $99 per year.
