AVAIL

What AVAIL does

AVAIL (AVAIL Solutions, Inc.) is a privately-held software company headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, that provides a cloud-based content management system (CMS) built specifically for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Founded in 2016 as a spin-out from ArchVision, the company addresses the structural problem of AEC professionals being unable to efficiently locate, access, and reuse technical content (BIM families, CAD blocks, PDFs, RPCs, manufacturer content) that is scattered across roughly 86.8 applications per firm on average. Its customers are primarily BIM managers and design technology leaders at AEC firms ranging from boutique practices to global enterprises such as Gensler, Perkins&Will, AECOM, Populous, and Woods Bagot.

The core product, AVAIL Desktop, is a desktop application that organizes AEC file types using virtualized thumbnails, Channel & Key Cards, Dynamic Paths, and Palettes rather than traditional folder hierarchies, with deep native add-ins for Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Rhino. The platform's technical architecture centers on visual browsing of native AEC file types, rules-based automatic publishing via AVAIL Stream, indexed access to content stored in OneDrive, BIM360, Egnyte, and Panzura without file movement, and cloud-hosted Revit version conversion (2021-2025) via Autodesk Platform Services. The "AVAIL Health, powered by Guardian" module adds automated standards evaluation for Revit content. The stack is supplemented by a manufacturer content marketplace (AVAIL Marketplace / AVAIL Select) integrated with UL's SPOT sustainability database.

AVAIL monetizes primarily through auto-renewing annual SaaS subscriptions priced via quote-based enterprise contracts, supplemented by a Professional Services line (launched 2023, led by Adrianna Schneider) that includes a $5,000/year Tune-Up offering for Enterprise subscribers covering quarterly taxonomy reviews, configuration reviews, and annual content audits. Distribution is direct (enterprise field sales with "Request Demo" CTAs, plus self-serve downloads), and demand generation is anchored by the Confluence events program and podcast rather than paid media. The company has not disclosed any institutional funding rounds.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Newforma: Newforma provides project information management and content management software for AEC firms. Like AVAIL, it addresses the problem of finding and organizing project-related content across distributed design teams, and competes for the same BIM manager/design technology leader buyer.
• Bluebeam (Nemetschek Group): Bluebeam Revu is widely deployed for markup, PDF management, and drawing collaboration across AEC firms. AVAIL's Palettes feature integrates with Bluebeam PDF markup, and Bluebeam competes in adjacent content workflows for the same design technology leader buyer.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk Construction Cloud (BIM 360 / ACC): Autodesk's construction and BIM collaboration suite competes directly with AVAIL for AEC content management spend and is the platform AVAIL integrates with. As a broad incumbent, Autodesk bundles document management, model coordination, and field tools, posing both a partner and competitive threat.
• Trimble Connect: Trimble Connect is a common data environment and content collaboration platform for AEC projects. It overlaps with AVAIL on multi-storage indexing, model viewing, and design-team collaboration, and competes for similar enterprise AEC budgets.
• Procore: Procore is a leading construction management platform with document and drawing management modules. While heavier on field/construction workflows, it competes with AVAIL for the AEC technology budget and increasingly offers design-phase content tools.
• Aconex (Oracle Construction and Engineering): Aconex is an established AEC project collaboration and document control platform now part of Oracle. It competes with AVAIL on document/content management for large, multi-firm AEC projects, particularly in infrastructure and engineering.

Emerging players

• Revizto: Revizto is an integrated collaboration platform for BIM coordination, issue tracking, and model viewing. It competes with AVAIL for AEC content/coordination workflows and overlaps in 3D and 2D content navigation within design teams.
• Solibri (Nemetschek Group): Solibri provides BIM quality assurance and model checking tools. It overlaps with AVAIL's Guardian/'AVAIL Health' content quality and standards checking capabilities and addresses similar BIM manager concerns.
• BIMcollab: BIMcollab offers model coordination, issue management, and BCF workflows for BIM projects. It is comparable to AVAIL's content health and project navigation features and targets the same design technology leader persona.

Others

• Egnyte: Egnyte is a content cloud platform with deep AEC customer penetration and is an AVAIL integration partner. It is comparable as an adjacent content infrastructure provider whose roadmap could overlap with AVAIL's value proposition over time.
