Solibri review
A focused BIM validation suite with broad coordination coverage and tiered annual pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Solibri is BIM quality-assurance software for architects, engineers, contractors, infrastructure owners, and public authorities. Its focus is validation and coordination rather than model authoring, covering IFC inspection and federation, property and classification review, clash detection, issue management, quantity takeoff, compliance workflows, and automated checking. Teams working across disciplines can also use browser-based WebChecker validation, point cloud checking, and IDS information validation workflows.
The published annual plans show a broad price range. Starter costs €99 per license per year and includes IFC model inspection and federation, property and classification review, and model-based communication. Essential costs €1,428 per license per year, adding structured BIM coordination, predefined rule-based checking, clash detection workflows, BCF issue management, and CDE integrations. Advanced costs €2,109 per license per year and adds custom rules, clash detection matrix control, IDS workflows, quantity and information takeoff, WebChecker, and 1,750 complimentary tokens. Premium costs €2,772 per license per year, adding point cloud checking, centralized validation frameworks, compliance reporting, company extensions, an AI-powered assistant, and WebChecker.
Platform coverage includes web, Windows, and macOS. Integration options span Autodesk Forma/BIM 360, Trimble Connect, Aconex, BIMcollab, Catenda, Dalux, Archicad, Vectorworks, Procore, SharePoint, OneDrive, and SAP. That ecosystem fit makes Solibri suitable for teams coordinating models and issues across established design, construction, and CDE environments. The trade-off is specialization: it is designed for checking, coordination, information validation, and reporting, not for authoring BIM models. Teams that need structured validation across IFC models, clashes, quantities, IDS, or point clouds should consider it; teams seeking a model creation environment or mobile access should choose an authoring-focused alternative.
