Plandata GmbH

What Plandata GmbH does

Plandata GmbH is an Austrian, founder-led BIM and Digital Information Management (DIM) specialist headquartered in Vienna with a second office in Frankfurt, serving DACH-region enterprise clients in healthcare, industrial manufacturing, automotive, energy, aviation, government and real estate. Its offering bundles three tightly linked lines: a content and tools stack built on Autodesk Revit (Revit-Content Hochbau, Revit-Content TGA with 1,800+ MEP family elements, specialized Revit-Familien for medical/laboratory/large-kitchen facilities, Revit-Addins for quality and workflow automation, and the Revit-Sandbox browser-based evaluation environment); a consulting services practice covering strategic BIM consulting, four-phase DIM consulting, project coordination, technology and automation consulting; and a digital standards suite (AIA, BIA, BAP, LOG/LOI/LOC, Leitprozesse) that codifies information requirements across the building lifecycle.

The technology core is a structured Revit-based data model with pre-configured bidirectional interfaces to Dlubal, SOFiSTiK, Solar Computer, Linear, Alpi Caneco, iTWO, DBD BIM, Relux and Dialux, enabling exchange of geometry, calculation results and cost data across the BIM-to-operations chain. The BIMpedia web platform anchors knowledge dissemination and a light product-led growth motion, while active roles in Austrian Standards, VDI, AIT, TU Wien and TU Graz give the firm standards-setting influence in the DACH market.

Plandata monetizes through a mix of project-based and retainer professional services (consulting, project support, training), annual subscriptions for Revit-Addins and content libraries, and one-time licenses for Revit content packages, with pricing distributed via PDF rather than transparently posted. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for large owners (VAMED, AKH Wien, Wiener Wohnen, Verbund, Siemens, AUDI, Roche) with self-serve discovery via BIMpedia and the Revit-Sandbox. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and operates in the 11-50 employee band.

Core offering

Plandata GmbH provides BIM (Building Information Modeling) and DIM (Digital Information Management) consulting, software tools, and content libraries for the construction industry. The company's offerings include strategic BIM/DIM consulting, project coordination, technology consulting, training programs, proprietary Revit-Addins productivity software, the BIMpedia knowledge platform, Revit-Sandbox browser-based testing environment, and standards-compliant Revit content libraries covering architectural, MEP (HVAC/electrical/plumbing), and specialized medical/laboratory/kitchen applications, primarily serving enterprise clients in the DACH region.

Product overview

Plandata GmbH provides an integrated portfolio of BIM products, consulting services, and digital standards centered on Autodesk Revit. The product suite consists of content libraries (Revit-Content Hochbau, Revit-Content TGA with 1,800+ MEP elements, and Revit-Familien for medical/laboratory/kitchen), productivity add-ins (Revit-Addins and Revit-Sandbox for virtual testing), and the BIMpedia knowledge platform. These are complemented by pre-configured interfaces to third-party structural, HVAC, electrical, and cost-planning software (Dlubal, SOFiSTiK, Solar Computer, Linear, Alpi Caneco, Relux, Dialux, iTWO, DBD BIM). On the services side, Plandata offers strategic BIM consulting, DIM consulting (Digitales Informationsmanagement) across four implementation phases, project coordination, technology consulting, and role-based training — all anchored by digital client standards covering AIA, BIA, BAP, and process guidelines (LOG/LOI/LOC definitions, supplemental documentation). The offerings are designed to work together: content products feed data models that flow through standardized processes and partner interfaces, while consulting and training services guide adoption.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• IB&T Software (Nemetschek): IB&T provides German-language BIM and infrastructure software (card_1, InfraWorks-style workflows) used by DACH public-sector clients, intersecting with Plandata's infrastructure and public-owner segments.
• RIB Software (now part of Schneider Electric): RIB provides iTWO cost planning and BIM-enabled construction management software; it is a partner of Plandata via pre-configured interfaces but also competes for adjacent owner-side BIM/DIM scope.

Direct peers

• CADMAI Software: CADMAI provides Revit content, family libraries, and BIM software tools across DACH, overlapping directly with Plandata's Revit-Content Hochbau and Revit-Addins product lines.
• Kubit (now part of Graitec): Kubit develops Revit add-ins and point-cloud-to-BIM tools for as-built modeling, competing with Plandata's Revit-Addins and as-built strategy offerings.
• AEC3 Deutschland: AEC3 is a DACH-based BIM consultancy offering BIM management, content development, and standards work for complex building projects, mirroring Plandata's consulting and standards portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk: Autodesk is the platform owner of Revit and a strategic partner of Plandata; it shapes the ecosystem in which Plandata's content and add-ins compete and could increasingly bundle similar capabilities natively.
• Trimble: Trimble's Tekla and Quadri offerings target structural and infrastructure BIM with a similar content-plus-platform model, overlapping with Plandata's structural and MEP focus.
• Nemetschek Group: Nemetschek owns Allplan, Graphisoft, Solibri, and other BIM brands, making it a broad incumbent that competes for the same enterprise BIM/DIM budgets across DACH and globally.
• Drees & Sommer: Drees & Sommer is a large DACH engineering and BIM consultancy serving owners, planners, and operators across the building lifecycle - competing for the same enterprise BIM mandates Plandata targets, but with much broader service scope.

Others

• buildingSMART International: buildingSMART drives openBIM standards that increasingly shape DACH BIM requirements; Plandata participates in its workstreams, making buildingSMART both a collaborating entity and a force that could shift clients toward vendor-neutral platforms over time.
