Every tool is an AI tool
Modelling, coordination, schedules and exports are registered as typed actions the AI can call. It edits the model the way you would, and every step is visible.
AI-native BIM · runs in the browser
Describe it.
Model it.
Share it.
From one sentence to a coordinated BIM model you can share with a link. WebCAD runs in the browser, speaks open IFC, and has an AI that can operate every tool in it.

Open by default
IFC 2x3 and IFC4 in and out, BCF issues and IDS requirement checks. Your model is never locked into a format only we can read.
Nothing to install
Open a link and start working on the laptop you already have. Geometry is processed in your browser, so a project can be reviewed on site from a tablet.
Product

Who it's for
One model, every role in the project
Each card shows what WebCAD does for that role and how mature it is today. We would rather be exact about maturity than oversell.

Architect
Early design means many options quickly, then drawings someone else can build from.
- Text → 3D massing from a written brief, checked against the briefDemo
- Walls, slabs, roofs, openings, stairs and rooms as BIM objectsDemo
- Houses from model to drawings and IFC deliveryPilot Q2 2027
BIM coordinator
Federating discipline models and chasing clashes across tools and email.
- Federate IFC models, run clash tests, group and assign resultsPilot Q4 2026

- BCF round-trip with your CDE (ACC, StreamBIM, Dalux)Planned Q3 2027
Structural engineer
Renovation starts with a survey nobody has modelled, and checks that live in separate tools.
- Point cloud → IFC: walls, slabs, roofs and levels recognisedDemo
- Scan-to-model deviation heat map, with issuesDemo
- Load and member checks, with stated assumptionsDemo
MEP engineer

Landscape architect
Site design that has to meet the building model without a file conversion.

Compare
How the architecture compares
Where WebCAD is designed to land against the desktop tools most teams use today. WebCAD figures are design targets, not yet independently measured.
Method. Competitor figures are estimates from published system requirements, list prices and field experience with typical projects on a standard laptop; your results will vary. WebCAD figures are the targets its architecture is designed for (browser delivery, streamed binary geometry, GPU instancing). They become measured results as each capability passes the qualification in our roadmap. Product names are trademarks of their owners.
How it works
Desktop-grade work inside a browser sandbox
- 01
Stream
IFC and compact binary fragments are streamed in progressively, not downloaded as one monolithic file.
- 02
Parse
WebAssembly parsers read IFC geometry at near-native speed, on your machine.
- 03
Render
GPU instancing batches thousands of objects into few draw calls for fluid navigation.
- 04
Act
One typed action bus serves the ribbon, the command search and the AI, so every change is the same, visible operation.
Roadmap
What ships when, and how sure we are
Every capability moves through three gates. Demo: it works end to end. Pilot: a partner uses it on a real project. Production-ready: it has passed measurable acceptance criteria. Reviewed every quarter.

Business plan, in brief
Free to use. Pay only for the AI work you ask for.
The problem
Professional BIM costs $2,000–3,500 per seat per year plus a workstation, runs on one desktop, stores projects in closed formats and adds AI as a plug-in. Small practices are priced out; large ones pay for seats that sit idle.
Our answer
A BIM tool that opens from a link, speaks IFC natively, and lets an AI do the repetitive modelling, checking and documenting, in steps you can see and undo.
Who we serve first
BIM coordinators at larger consultancies (coordination pilot, Q4 2026), then renovation projects (scan, DWG and PDF to model, 2027), then small practices self-serving on the free tier.
How we make money
The application is free: modelling, IFC, coordination and sharing, with no seat licence. Revenue comes from prepaid AI credits, so what a team pays follows the AI work it actually uses.
- 1 credit = $0.01. An AI modelling step typically costs from a few credits to a few dozen, depending on the model.
- 100 free credits for every new account.
- Credits never expire. Prices include sales tax/VAT.
- Payments via Paddle as merchant of record, so tax and invoicing work worldwide.
Why this works: the browser does the heavy lifting (geometry, rendering, file parsing), so our running cost per user is low and scales mainly with AI use, which is exactly what we charge for.

Competition
Autodesk (Revit, ACC) and Graphisoft (Archicad) own authoring; Solibri and Navisworks own coordination; browser-first newcomers focus on early design. WebCAD's edge is the combination: open IFC, coordination and authoring in one model, and an AI that operates the whole tool rather than a chat window beside it.
