Bentley's OpenBuildings Designer and ProjectWise enable architects and engineers to collaborate in a single environment. Our solutions bridge the gap between building design and civil infrastructure, ensuring your site is sustainable, safe, and fully coordinated. 

Yes. Our applications help you transition design and construction data into long-term operations and maintenance. This ensures you can schedule predictive maintenance, reduce facility downtime, and optimize space management easily across your entire campus. 

Bentley’s facility construction solution connects all stakeholders with a single source of truth for project data. It enhances execution with real-time data capture, 4D planning, and full digital context to bridge field and office teams. This seamless cloud collaboration accelerates project delivery while reducing cost and risk.

Bentley software is built for the complexity of multi-building projects, supporting seamless coordination across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines. Teams can build data-rich, federated models with hybrid 2D/3D workflows, allowing for immediate visualization and validation to improve design accuracy and accelerate delivery.

A digital twin is the unifying link between a facility's design, construction, and operational phases. By integrating real-time data from building management systems (BMS) and IoT sensors, owners can leverage a living digital replica of their asset to reduce downtime, cut emissions, and optimize performance.

Bentley supports commercial and civic facilities by providing integrated solutions that span the entire project lifecycle—from multi-discipline BIM design to 4D construction planning and operations. Our software enables architectural, structural, and MEP teams to collaborate seamlessly in a connected data environment. This ensures that complex commercial buildings and public civic centers are delivered on time, within budget, and optimized for long-term sustainability.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) software provides an intelligent, 3D model-based process to efficiently design, construct, and operate complex public and private buildings. For commercial and civic facilities, BIM integrates architectural, structural, and MEP data into one collaborative workspace, helping teams coordinate seamlessly and resolve clashes before construction begins. 

Bentley Systems elevates this process with software solutions such as OpenBuildings Designer, which are specifically engineered to handle the massive scale and multidisciplinary complexity of modern commercial and civic infrastructure. Bentley’s BIM software goes beyond basic 3D modeling by integrating real-world site context, energy simulation, and pedestrian flow analysis directly into your workflows. This connected approach allows your teams to deliver high-performing, sustainable facilities faster and seamlessly transition design data into a living digital twin for long-term facility management.
