Calq Build comes with every plan.

Calq Build is a BIM modeller in the browser, and it comes with every plan, including Free, and so does every export and your first AI building. Professional adds Calq AI every month and the people you work with; Studio adds a studio space you own. Both start with a 14-day trial: a card on Stripe, nothing charged until it ends.

24 kinds of BIM element

Walls, floors, roofs, stairs, ramps, columns, beams, footings, pipes, ducts, rooms and furniture - each a parametric element with its IFC class, drawn in 21 kinds of view.

Engines that draw with you

Lay out a storey of flats in three checked options, repeat units that follow their edits, paint along a stroke with the Brush, lay a street with the Spine, raise domes and minarets.

The brief, tracked

The client brief lives in the model: every room linked to its line and measured against it, standards checked, signed off by the approver from a link.

Open BIM in and out

IFC4, IFC 4.3 and IFC2X3 in and out, DWG and DXF, COBie, gbXML, BCF and IDS, sheet sets with ISO title blocks, presentations and walkthrough video.

Site, ground and sun

The site from the map, topography from a survey file, coordinates and true north, and one sun that casts the shadow study in every view.

Calq AI, on Professional and Studio

Ask in words, attach a brief or a sketch, and Calq builds and edits the model with you, from a house to a hospital, every change undoable.

A credit is a slice of Calq AI's work: a small edit is 50 to 200 credits, a whole building from a brief about 1,000. Unused monthly credits do not roll over. Extra credits come in packs (10,000 for $15, 50,000 for $60) and last 365 days.

Unlimited allowances are subject to a fair-use policy: usage consistent with normal professional work. We may reach out about automated, resold, or abnormally high usage that affects platform stability.

Pricing questions, answered.

What does the Free plan include?

Calq Build, the whole Calq modeller with cloud save: 24 kinds of BIM element and 21 kinds of view, the engines (a storey of flats laid out in three checked options, units that repeat, massing, the Brush and the Spine, domes and minarets), the client brief tracked room by room with its sign-off, drafting details drawn from the model, ISO 19650 file naming, the sun and shadow study, the site from the map, topography, IFC, DWG and DXF import, sheets with the PDF print of a sheet, presentations with a public link, and walkthroughs, in 3 projects with up to 10 models each and 1 GB of storage. Every export is included: IFC (IFC4, IFC 4.3, IFC2X3), DXF, COBie, gbXML, PDF sheet sets and the walkthrough video. ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant can connect and model on your account too, and you can join any model someone invites you to, at no cost. Your first AI building is free as well: 1,500 Calq AI credits, once, with no card. No card is needed for any of it: you can start drawing on calq.live without an account, and saving creates your free account.

What is Calq AI?

Calq AI is the AI inside Calq. You ask in words, attach a brief, a sketch or a spreadsheet, and it builds and edits the BIM model with you: whole buildings from a brief, rooms, facades, sheets and schedules, every change undoable. Your first building with it is free, with no card; after that it comes with Professional and Studio, with the AI design tools (design options, reading a plan or photo into a model, AI renders, select by words).

Is there a free trial?

Two. First AI building free, no card: every free account gets 1,500 Calq AI credits once, with no date they run out. Then Professional and Studio start with a 14-day trial: Calq AI and 3,000 AI credits for the whole trial. The trial is the one step that takes a card: checkout on Stripe takes it, and nothing is charged until the 14 days end; then the plan is charged unless you cancel before, in the billing portal. Cancelled, the account moves to Free and nothing you made is deleted. One trial per account; a Studio trial holds up to 10 seats.

What are AI credits?

A credit is a slice of Calq AI's work: a small edit is 50 to 200 credits, a whole building from a brief about 1,000. Unused monthly credits do not roll over. Extra credits come in packs (10,000 for $15, 50,000 for $60) and last 365 days. Professional carries 25,000 a month; Studio 40,000 a month for each member. Calq Build itself, drawing by hand, never spends a credit.

How does working together work?

On Professional you can invite up to 5 people to each of your models: they edit with you live, you see each other's cursors and selections, and you comment and @mention each other on the model. The people you invite never pay to join, even on Free. Studio removes the limit, and adds a studio space you own, where every member opens and edits every member's models.

What is the difference between Professional and Studio?

Professional is one person's plan: Calq AI, 25,000 AI credits a month, unlimited projects and models, and up to 5 people on each model. Studio is for a practice, priced per seat (2 seats or more): you own the studio, you add and remove its members, make admins and set the seats in one place, every member opens and edits every member's models, and there is no limit on the people on a model. Each member gets everything in Professional with 40,000 AI credits a month, on one invoice, with priority support.

What is the founding price?

The first 100 Professional subscribers pay $49 a month instead of $79, and the first 20 studios $99 a seat a month instead of $149. The price holds for 12 months from your first payment, then the subscription renews at the list price; the Stripe checkout says so before you pay, and you can cancel at any time. It is on monthly billing, and a place is taken by the first payment, after the trial.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Calq AI pauses until the next month, or you add a credit pack (10,000 for $15, 50,000 for $60) from your account; a pack lasts 365 days and is spent only after the month's own credits. Calq Build never stops: drawing, exporting and working together need no credits.

Can I push a Calq model to Revit?

On every plan, Free included, a model goes to Revit, and to any BIM tool, as IFC. The Calq add-in for Revit, which will send elements into your open Revit model as native elements and pull edits back, is coming soon: it cannot be downloaded yet, and it will come with Professional and Studio.

Can I connect ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes, on every plan, Free included. Add the Calq address to your assistant, sign in with your Calq account and allow it; it can then build and change the models on your account when you ask it to, with its own model doing the thinking. The tools that run AI on Calq (reading a drawing or photo, AI renders) are kept for a paid plan. Account, Assistants shows the address and lets you disconnect at any time.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account (Manage billing); you keep the plan until the end of the period you paid for. Your projects and models stay on your account if you come back later.

How do refunds work?

If you ask within 14 days of your first payment for a plan, we refund it in full: write to [email protected] from the address of your account. After that we do not refund partial periods. A credit pack is refunded in full while none of its credits has been spent.

Do you offer annual billing?

Yes, at up to 20% off: Professional is $756 a year ($63 a month) and Studio $1,428 a seat a year ($119 a month). The founding price is on monthly billing.

Is my data secure?

Your projects are not used to train AI models. Your models are private to your account and the people you invite, payments are handled by Stripe (Calq never sees your card), and you can delete your account and everything on it yourself. The privacy policy says what is collected and why.

Do you offer discounts for nonprofits, education or a whole firm?

Yes. Accredited universities and registered nonprofits get a discount on paid plans. Email [email protected] with your institution and we will set you up. For a firm that needs SSO, invoicing or a larger allowance, write to the same address.
