Solibri Essential – Bring structure to BIM coordination

Solibri Essential introduces predefined rule-based checking, structured clash detection, and connected issue workflows — transforming coordination from visual inspection into disciplined validation.

When coordination requires more than visual review

As projects scale, coordination becomes the defining moment for quality. Multiple disciplines. Multiple model versions. Multiple contributors.

Without structured validation, coordination becomes reactive, clash lists expand and property inconsistencies surface late. Visual inspection alone cannot guarantee model quality.

As federated models grow in size and complexity, manual review leaves room for:

• Overlooked geometry conflicts
• Inconsistent property values
• Duplicate or missing classifications
• Repeated coordination cycles

Solibri Essential formalizes validation at the coordination stage. Instead of reacting to issues during meetings, teams execute structured checks before discussions begin. This is where coordination becomes predictable.

Federated models under control, coordination begins with clarity

Solibri Essential enables teams to open, combine, and manage multiple IFC and Revit models in a federated environment. Model positioning, updates, and version handling are streamlined so that coordination reviews always begin from a stable foundation.

Federated model files preserve alignment across disciplines, ensuring that validation is applied consistently across the entire project model. This structured federation reduces fragmentation and strengthens collaboration.

Predefined rule-based checking — consistent and repeatable

Solibri Essential comes with a predefined set of coordination checks that covers model health, data validation, and geometry conflicts.

• Model Health & Consistency: identify structural and consistency issues that compromise coordination, including duplicates, broken or missing relationships between elements and floors, and incomplete naming of components.
• Information validation (LOI and IDS): verify that required architectural model information is present by checking the existence of mandatory properties against project information requirements and IDS definitions.
• Geometric and accessibility-focused checks: detect hard clashes between different components and get an indicator of soft clashes where required accessibility conditions are not satisfied.
• The emphasis is execution — not customization.

Rule editing and advanced governance remain part of higher tiers. Essential focuses on applying consistent validation logic across projects without adding configuration complexity. This makes structured checking accessible to growing coordination teams.
