What Essential solves
Three recurring problems for teams running cross-discipline coordination. Open any item to see how Essential handles it.
The coordination meeting should be where you make decisions, not where you discover ten beams clash with the duct run. Essential lets the team self-check models against predefined rules before the meeting. The meeting becomes a working conversation instead of a discovery exercise.
What's in Essential?
Three concrete capabilities Essential adds on top of Starter. The full feature comparison across all five Solibri tiers lives on the parent page.
Predefined rule-based model checking
Built-in rules for model integrity, data validation, and geometry conflicts. Run them against any federated model and get structured results, not a manual walkthrough.
Federated multi-discipline model management
Combine IFC and Revit models from architecture, structure, MEP, and other disciplines into one stable federation. Manage discipline versions, swap models, and re-run checks.
CDE integrations and BCF flow
Built-in pairings with Autodesk Forma and BIM 360, Procore, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Trimble Connect. Pull models from the CDE, push issues back through BCF. The loop closes inside the tools your team already uses.
Who Essential is for
Coordination teams running structured cross-discipline checks. Two- to twenty-person teams at architectural, engineering, or contractor firms who need predefined rule-based checking and federated model management.
If your team is starting to author its own rules, or you need IDS validation against project requirements, Advanced is the next step.
