Company profile
researched Aug 2026Resolve (resolvebim.com) offers a platform for viewing and collaborating on building information models (BIM) in construction across three access surfaces: a web viewer, an iPad app, and an immersive virtual reality application. The stated aim is to make complex 3D models usable by stakeholders who lack BIM or VDC training, so that constructability, access, safety, and coordination risks are surfaced before construction begins rather than during it. Models can be opened by sending a link, and the company says setup takes only a few minutes and that large models can be run in wireless VR.
The product set spans immersive VR walkthroughs of full-scale spaces such as mechanical rooms, real-time collaboration with live presence of teammates in the model, BIM tools including measuring and sketching, access to BIM layers and metadata, and issue and review tracking with configurable issue categories and presets, status tracking, and shareable issue reports. Resolve integrates with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), Procore, Revizto, and Newforma workflows. A newer capability, AI Spatial Assist, is described as an AI agent with 3D spatial context that understands BIM geometry and metadata, turns natural-language requests into navigation, filtering, and retrieval actions inside the model, and is intended to remove the bottleneck on BIM/VDC staff during reviews; the company was operating a waitlist for it.
A support/help center is maintained with documentation sections covering getting started, the VR app, admin deployment, model upload, the Lightning Web Viewer, a Resolve Desktop Companion App, web annotations, IT resources, workflows, support videos, and release notes.
Business model
Resolve sells access to its BIM collaboration software to construction project teams and enterprises; the website is demo-request and login gated, and help center content includes an admin section on deploying Resolve to a team, consistent with a business-to-business software subscription sold at the team/organization level. Specific pricing and contract terms are not disclosed in the sources.
Traction
Self-reported website figures cite 420+ companies using Resolve worldwide and over 6 GW of data center capacity reviewed and delivered with the product. Customer testimonials claim four weeks cut from the coordination schedule on a 40 MW data center and $3M of rework avoided in three months on a 1.8M sq. ft. data center. No independently verified revenue, headcount, or funding figures appear in the available sources.
Latest developments
The most recent development visible in the sources is AI Spatial Assist, an AI agent for natural-language navigation and querying of BIM models, presented on a dedicated page with a waitlist for teams wanting to deploy it on a project. Website footers carry a 2026 copyright date.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, risks & controversies
Market position
Resolve positions itself in the BIM coordination and model-review segment of construction technology, differentiating on immersive VR review of very large models and on accessibility for non-BIM users. It presents itself as complementary to, and integrated with, common construction platforms such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, Revizto, and Newforma. The website claims more than 420 companies use the product worldwide and that it has been used in delivering over 6 GW of data center capacity; these figures are self-reported.
Stated points of differentiation are the ability to run very large BIM models in wireless VR without specialized setup, link-based model access requiring no BIM expertise, multi-surface access (web, iPad, VR) with live multi-user presence, and an AI assistant that is grounded in 3D BIM geometry and metadata and in the user's current position in the model rather than in documents alone.
Technology
The platform renders large BIM models across a web viewer (referred to as the Lightning Web Viewer), an iPad app, and a VR application supporting wireless headsets, supported by a desktop companion application. It exposes BIM layers and metadata alongside geometry, supports measurement and sketching tools, and provides real-time multi-user presence in a shared spatial environment. Integrations connect issues and workflows to Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, Revizto, and Newforma. AI Spatial Assist adds an agent that reasons over BIM geometry and metadata in real time, using the user's current view and position in the model to convert natural language into spatial navigation, filtering, and information retrieval.
Go-to-market
The company markets primarily through its website with demo requests, a self-serve web viewer trial, a blog, and a public help center; a waitlist is used to gate early access to AI Spatial Assist. Customer proof points are presented as testimonials and quantified outcomes from data center projects.
Construction project teams working on complex, mission-critical facilities, with a clear emphasis on data centers. Named user roles include BIM/VDC staff, field leaders, facilities and operations teams, and executives, as well as trade contractors producing shop drawings.
Geography
The company describes customers as being located worldwide and highlights collaboration across time zones and geographies, but the sources do not identify specific countries or office locations.
Risks & controversies
Publicly available information is limited to company-controlled channels; performance claims such as 10x more risks discovered early, 420+ customers, and $3M rework avoided are vendor- or customer-testimonial-based and not independently verified in the sources. The company also shares a name with unrelated firms, notably Resolve AI (resolve.ai), a software production-operations startup, which creates identification risk in databases and search results.
