ProjectWise review
A controlled environment for engineering documents, models, reviews, and project collaboration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ProjectWise is Bentley Systems’ infrastructure project delivery and document-management software for engineering, construction, and owner-operator organizations. It provides a connected data environment for project documents, engineering work in progress, models, reviews, deliverables, and stakeholder collaboration. Its strongest fit is for engineering and infrastructure design teams that need controlled workspaces, design-application integration, drawing versioning, transmittals, submittals, and multidisciplinary project reviews across web, Windows, and API environments.
The published plans show a tiered paid structure. Bentley Infrastructure Cloud Connect costs $312 per license per year and covers a unified web experience, document and model access, sharing, review, and project correspondence. Bentley Infrastructure Cloud ProjectWise costs $960 per license per year and adds engineering work-in-progress management, reference-file management, workspaces, application integration, civil model validation, clash detection, 4D schedules, and Gantt charts. The ProjectWise Bundle costs $10,440 per bundle per year and includes a dedicated ProjectWise environment, engineering and construction data management, and collaboration and validation workflows. The displayed pricing is for 12-month Virtuoso subscriptions and varies by package, with enterprise and other licensing options available.
ProjectWise stands out when document control must connect directly to design and construction workflows. Integrations include Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, IFC, and Bentley and non-Bentley design applications. Teams can track document and model versions, manage reference files, coordinate reviews, and use offline access through web or mobile device capabilities. AI-powered search and media indexing add discovery support across project content. Choose ProjectWise for complex, multidisciplinary infrastructure delivery; smaller teams seeking a free entry point or a simpler document repository should consider a narrower tool.
