Company profile
researched Aug 2026Vrex is a virtual reality collaboration application for construction and engineering project teams. It converts BIM, CAD and point cloud data into shared, real-time 3D environments where project members can explore models together, give feedback inside the VR environment, and use immersive visualization to support reviews and approvals. The company positions the product as a virtual "situation room" or project control room intended to be usable by both technical and non-technical stakeholders without prior BIM or CAD experience.
The workflow consists of creating a project, adding 3D models or 3D scans, and inviting team members, stakeholders and partners to collaborative sessions. Models can be uploaded manually or synchronized through integrations with Navisworks, ACC/BIM360, Catenda Hub, Newforma Konekt, StreamBIM, Aconex, Bimplus and buildagil, after which project files can be refreshed with a single action. Point cloud scans are supported directly without mesh conversion. Findings and decisions are documented with notes and pictures, BCF-standard issue management, or via the platform's BIM-platform integrations.
Vrex is distributed as Vrex Pro, a downloadable Windows application for PC-VR and for use on regular screens without VR, and as Vrex Go for standalone VR devices. Sessions can be run with personal VR headsets, in meeting rooms with or without VR equipment, on ordinary laptops, in group VR settings, or in cave installations. Stated minimum hardware for VR use is Windows 10, an NVIDIA GTX 1070 GPU, an Intel i7 CPU, 8 GB RAM and an Oculus, HTC, Vive or Windows Mixed Reality headset; desktop use requires substantially less."]
Business model
Vrex supplies software to project organizations: users create projects, upload or sync models, and invite team members, stakeholders and partners into virtual rooms. Access is via a Vrex user account or a room code, with guest and room-code users also able to participate and create issues. The site directs prospects to request a demo or speak with an expert rather than offering self-service sign-up pricing.
Traction
Published use cases cover the Trondheim Community Sports Centre, the Fornebubanen metro project and rail design review, alongside customer testimonials from architecture and contracting firms. The product release log shows continuous versioned updates from at least 2024 through 2026.
Latest developments
Recent releases add walk-mode navigation for VR and desktop, an overlap tool, view sharing from the object hierarchy, slope-angle measurement display, and issue manager improvements such as quick-create issues, due-date editing and creator filters, plus multi-account login. Earlier 2025 releases introduced a Revizto integration, geometry streaming, a new Vrex Issues (BCF) API, a DWG/Civil 3D converter and 25 GB uploads. The company has also published news about teaming with Oracle Aconex on construction project collaboration.
