Speckle

What Speckle does

Speckle is an open-source data platform for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry that functions as an intelligence layer over fragmented 3D/BIM (Building Information Modeling) toolchains. The platform connects 12+ major design tools (Revit, Rhino, Archicad, Grasshopper, Navisworks, Civil 3D, ETABS, Tekla, AutoCAD, Blender, SketchUp, IFC) and 20+ file types via native connectors, normalizing project data into a structured object-level format with version control, GraphQL API access, and a customizable 3D web viewer. Core products include the Speckle Platform itself, Speckle Intelligence (AI-powered natural-language querying of BIM data), Speckle Automate (workflow automation triggered by model publishes), Model Validation (standards enforcement), Project Dashboards, and an enterprise data pipeline connecting design data to Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric.
