A cross-platform BIM collaboration layer visualizes federated 3D models, linked 2D drawings and issue tracking across devices.
Global, August 13, 2025
Revizto has rolled out a Unity-built, cross-platform BIM collaboration layer designed to federate very large models and centralize coordination and issue management. The cloud-enabled platform fuses 2D drawings into 3D model views so markups remain spatially linked, supports real-time clash detection and issue tracking, and handles point clouds and lightweight mesh workflows. Native desktop and mobile apps plus a web-based issue tracker enable offline and browser access. Optimization reduces polygon and texture weight to keep giga-models interactive, while plugins and imports preserve interoperability with common AEC authoring tools.
Revizto presents itself as a cloud‑based BIM coordination, collaboration, and issue management application that is built on the Unity game engine tech stack. Its stated mission is to unify BIM intelligence across 2D and 3D, delivering a 2D/3D fusion viewer where users can study 2D drawings inside 3D model environments. The platform emphasizes real‑time BIM coordination, clash detection, and issue tracking, with additional support for QR codes that synchronize issues and locations directly in the BIM model.
In terms of scale and performance, Revizto states that only about 7% of the Unity engine is consumed to run its core tools, while its engineering team has built roughly seven million lines of code on top of Unity. The company positions its product as cloud‑era software but not cloud‑first, arguing that core functionality remains native on desktop and mobile platforms. Users can access Revizto’s web‑based issue tracker from any modern browser onMac, Windows, or Linux, and the native desktop apps run on Mac and Windows, with iOS and Android devices also supported. This approach enables a broad range of devices—from laptops to tablets and phones—to participate in BIM coordination without sacrificing performance when handling heavy geometry.
A central claim is that Revizto can ingest and create lightweight, high‑fidelity model equivalents from multiple CAD or modeling kernels, enabling teams to work with the world’s largest BIM and infrastructure projects, or giga projects. The company also reports having consumed over 280 terabytes of project data to date, underscoring its appetite for large‑scale collaboration. This data handling is supported by optimization techniques described as minimization of polygons and other methods designed to keep navigation smooth when models grow into billions of polygons.
Revizto positions itself as OpenBIM oriented and platform agnostic, with a broad ecosystem of plugins and native import capabilities that connect to a wide array of authoring tools. The platform supports interoperability with major ecosystems including Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Trimble SketchUp, Bentley and Nemetschek family products such as ArchiCAD and Vectorworks, plus Rhino, Tekla, and other common AEC authoring tools. Revizto can also work with meshes and OBJ files as inputs, expanding the ways teams can bring data into the coordination space. A notable extension is full point cloud integration, a recent addition that broadens the model types Revizto can synchronize with.
The platform can handle coordinate‑accurate 2D/3D alignment through a 2D/3D hybrid viewer where markups or stamps hover in 3D space and remain bi‑directionally linked between 2D drawings and 3D models. These markups carry metadata such as issue properties, tags, and assignees, and stay spatially positioned across 2D, 3D, or fused views. Users can generate scheduled reports and dashboards that are printable to PDF and filterable across devices, helping teams maintain a single source of truth for project information.
A key competitive angle is Revizto’s advanced clash detection and its focus on coordination and collaboration rather than authoring or model checking tools. The product is not marketed as a Common Data Environment (CDE) in the sense of competing with dedicated CDEs like ACC or Trimble Connect; instead, Revizto emphasizes SSOT—a federated BIM coordination platform designed to work with a variety of authoring tools and workflows.
Revizto structures its offerings with different packages to fit roles within AEC/O teams. For general contractors and large owners, a single license can unlock an unlimited number of users with project‑based pricing. Packages for architects, engineers, and interior designers emphasize model‑based pricing, with discounts when architects and engineers use the platform alone. In some cases, owners or GCs provide Revizto access to architects and engineers, effectively enabling free access for those users on Revizto‑driven projects. The emphasis remains on collaboration and coordination, not on authoring or MCAD tasks, reinforcing its positioning as a tool to deliver a single source of truth across diverse workflows.
Revizto reports a global footprint with user distribution roughly split across Americas (40%), Europe and the Middle East (30%), and APAC (30%). Australia and New Zealand are highlighted for having advanced BIM workflows and elevated automation levels. The majority of Revizto’s core customers are general contractors (about 60%), with the rest comprising owners, engineers, architects, interior designers, facilities managers, and various other specialists. Enterprise clients are engaged on massive giga projects in the Middle East, illustrating the platform’s suitability for very large, multi‑discipline efforts. Airports and facilities management have emerged as notable use cases during and after the pandemic, with Revizto supporting QA and QC tasks in FM workflows.
Revizto supports immersive navigation through VR platforms and headsets such as HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. The company has outlined an AR roadmap with tablets as the initial AR target, signaling a plan to extend its spatial capabilities into augmented reality environments. Feedback from user groups and direct channels like Slack feed into ongoing development and roadmap decisions, illustrating a developer‑led approach to aligning product direction with user needs.
The CEO and founder, Arman Gukasyan, brings a background outside traditional AEC design work and previously explored a startup that fused 3D gaming technology with GIS for 3D city mapping. Observing industry inefficiencies and waste in construction—claimed to exceed 20% in some views—Gukasyan framed Revizto as a platform that brings gaming tech strengths into AEC workflows: capable of absorbing heavy data, yet remaining interactive and easy to use. Emphasis on openness and platform agnosticism underpins Revizto’s strategy to serve a global, diverse market with interoperability at its core. The company has expressed that there is still work to be done to move the industry toward greater openness and interoperability, highlighting that no single company can fully serve the global market.
Revizto notes that it is an Autodesk developer and depends on Autodesk products to function in its current state, while championing the idea that shared open APIs and collaborative ecosystems can improve outcomes for a broad set of stakeholders. The company has also acknowledged competition in the broader space, including pilots that compare to other collaboration platforms, but maintains a focus on collaboration and coordination rather than broad authoring or CDE functionality. The long‑term goal remains a more seamless communication pipeline with less information loss as teams move between 2D and 3D representations, and as real‑time collaboration travels across devices and locations.
Revizto is a cross‑platform platform for BIM coordination, collaboration, and issue management that blends 2D drawings with 3D BIM models, enabling real‑time coordination, clash detection, and issue tracking across desktop, mobile, and web environments.
The core functionality runs on native desktop apps for Mac and Windows, with mobile apps on iOS and Android, and a web‑based issue tracker accessible from modern browsers. It uses Unity to enable cross‑platform delivery across many operating systems and devices.
Revizto focuses on collaboration and coordination rather than authoring or serving as a traditional CDE. It aims to be OpenBIM oriented and platform agnostic, working with multiple authoring tools and data sources to provide a single source of truth for coordination tasks.
Revizto ingests diverse data sources, creates lightweight equivalents, and employs optimization techniques to manage very large models or giga projects while preserving interactivity and clarity in navigation.
Pricing varies by user role: general contractors and large owners typically receive project‑based licensing with unlimited users, while architects and engineers may encounter model‑based packages and discounts when used in specific owner or GC contexts.
Revizto supports VR headsets for immersive navigation and plans AR capabilities with tablets as the initial target, signaling a commitment to extended reality features as the platform evolves.
