Sarex

What Sarex does

Sarex (legal entity LLC SAREX, ООО «САРЕКС») is a Russian B2B software company that builds a modular construction digitalization platform for real estate developers and heavy-industry capital projects. Founded in 2018 and headquartered at the Skolkovo Innovation Center in Moscow, the company was bootstrapped, founder-owned as of the data window, and registered in the Russian Ministry of Digital Development software registry in October 2022, qualifying it for state and strategic-enterprise procurement under import-substitution requirements.

The platform combines four core modules — Common Data Environment (CDE), Planning with calendar-network scheduling and 4D modeling, Construction Control with offline-capable defect management, and Digital Monitoring with drone and laser-scanning analytics — on top of a proprietary in-house 3D engine, a Desktop Connector for local file synchronization, a data-migration tool for transitioning from other CDEs, and a 2026-launched AI Assistant covering generative documentation analysis, voice-to-defect-card population, semantic search, and anomaly detection across drawings, point clouds, and schedules. Sarex integrates natively with MS Project, Oracle Primavera, Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD/DWG, and Navisworks, and supports both SaaS and on-premise deployment on Russian infrastructure.

Sarex sells to large Russian enterprise customers through direct field sales, with pricing tied to disk volume and functional modules rather than per-user licensing, and implementation engagements reportedly starting at 10 million rubles. Deployed across 500+ construction projects and 50,000+ active users, the customer base spans Gazprom CPS, Severstal, NLMK, MMK, EuroChem, URALCHEM, Setl Group, MR Group, Ingrad, TOCHNO, R1, DOGMA, Alabuga, and MS Architects, with operations exclusively in Russia.

Core offering

Sarex sells a modular construction and industrial digitalization platform centered on a Common Data Environment (CDE) that centralizes documents, 2D drawings, BIM models, and calendar-network schedules. The platform bundles calendar-network Planning with 4D modeling, Construction Control for quality and defect management, Digital Monitoring using drone and laser-scanning data, a proprietary web-based 3D engine, a Desktop Connector, Data Migration tooling, and an AI Assistant. It is delivered as SaaS or on-premise software with an Open API and is targeted at enterprise construction developers and industrial companies operating in Russia.

Product overview

Sarex is a modular digital platform for construction and industrial digitalization comprising four core products: Среда общих данных (CDE) as the central collaborative hub for project data and BIM models; Планирование (Planning) for calendar-network scheduling and 4D modeling; Стройконтроль (Construction Control) for quality and defect management with offline capability; and Цифровой мониторинг (Digital Monitoring) for remote construction progress tracking via drone surveys and point cloud analysis. Supporting components include a proprietary 3D Engine for web-based BIM visualization, a Desktop Connector for local file synchronization, and Data Migration tools for transitioning from other CDEs. The platform supports both SaaS and on-premise deployment, features an open API, and is registered in the Russian Ministry of Digital Development software registry. The platform serves 50,000+ users across 500+ construction projects in Russia.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Common Data Environment (CDE) (Среда общих данных) Centralized collaborative environment for managing all project data — documents, 2D drawings, BIM models, and calendar-network schedules — with built-in BI analytics and approval workflows. Targeted at enterprise construction and industrial organizations.
• Planning (Планирование) Multi-user calendar-network scheduling module for managing project timelines, tasks, resources, and dynamic 4D modeling, integrated directly within the Sarex platform. Imported via Open API from MS Project, Primavera, or Excel.
• Construction Control (Стройконтроль) Quality control, author's supervision, and construction audit module with offline capability; all defect cards are linked to CDE drawings and calendar-network schedules. Used by construction oversight teams and technical customer organizations.
• Digital Monitoring (Цифровой мониторинг) Remote control and analysis of construction progress using drone surveys, laser scanning, and automated comparison of actual vs. planned data with volume calculations. Used for distributed industrial and city-scale real-estate construction sites.
• 3D Engine (3D-движок) Proprietary web-based 3D rendering engine for visualization of BIM models, point clouds, and construction progress data directly in the browser, supporting DWG measurement tools, Revit and Navisworks model loading, and 3D inspection workflows.
• Desktop Connector (Desktop-коннектор) Desktop application for synchronizing local files with the Sarex CDE, enabling offline work and direct integration with local file systems for engineering and construction teams.
• Data Migration (Миграция данных) Tools and services for migrating project data from external CDEs and file management systems into Sarex, including transfer of document history and approval records.
• AI Assistant (ИИ-ассистент) Generative AI assistant that compares documentation versions, checks document-set completeness, performs calculations from drawings, matches specifications to drawings, supports semantic search across documentation, populates defect cards from voice input in the mobile app, and enables natural-language dialog with project schedules.
