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. 

Bentley supports the complex, fast-tracked delivery of data centers through comprehensive solutions like OpenBuildings Designer for integrated BIM design (architectural, structural, and MEP) and SYNCHRO for advanced 4D planning, and visualization to help teams deliver projects faster, safer, and with greater certainty. Supported by ProjectWise for secure team collaboration, these tools help teams manage dense utility networks, coordinate heavy equipment installation, and accelerate speed-to-market for mission-critical facilities.
