KitConnect is a purpose-built desktop and web solution that promotes Building Product Awareness in design by providing a structured exchange environment from "Model to Manufacturing" to drive scalable building solutions.

KitConnect is exactly what we have been waiting for to effectively design and produce industrialized information in BIM. It will allow teams to take advantage of both repeating layouts, and modulated construction with its ability to handle elements in Revit as sets of parts for assembly rather than individual components.

Structured Design
Structure the correct building information early in the design process to easily exchange data required by building product and component manufacturers.
Features Supporting Structured Design
Parts, Assemblies & Modules
mapped to native Revit content
Automated Quantification
of all placed content for easy BIM to BOM workflows
Configurable Modules
with part-level constraints on native Revit objects to maintain
Parts Optioning
accessible via Revit or the KitConnect Web App for easy rules creation by all stakeholders
Automated Version Control
for all published content in your Enterprise and Project Libraries

Command & Control
Control and manage design rules and information from a central location and share easily across all projects.
Features Supporting Command & Control
User Permissions
control who can access, edit and update your modular content in Revit and the Web
Configuration Control
on the rails module configuration in your Revit environment
Enterprise & Project Libraries
share and track changes for your parts, assemblies and modules across all your projects from a central resource
Automated Model Audits
eliminate errors and deviations for your modular content in Revit
Revisioning & Version Control
automatically track & coordinate changes to your building products across all of your projects

Knowledge Capture
& Distribution
Capture critical and valuable IP using repeatable, maintainable, and accessible systems to offer easy access to stakeholders of all experience levels.
Features Supporting Knowledge Capture & Distribution
Enterprise & Project Libraries
all your designs at your fingertips. Reduce remodeling and encourage company-wide Intellectual Property (IP) preservation and protection
Centralized Modelled Content + Rules
set your manufacturable designs free with rules and logic attached to your content
Web to BIM Data Sharing
a central location to view, modify or update your library as it connects across your BIM workload
