CalqWorkflows / BIM for architecture offices
BIM for architecture offices
Calq Studio gives an architecture office one studio space in the browser: every member opens and edits every member's models, with the office's own title blocks and templates, brief sign-off and permit checks.
- Available
- On a paid plan
One studio space
A studio is a space the office owns. Its owner adds and removes members, makes admins and sets the seats in one place, on one invoice.
- Every member opens and edits every member's models
- People edit a model together, live, with each other's cursors, comments and @mentions
- The studio's AI credits are one pool, spent by whoever works
- Clients and consultants follow a model by its link, or as reviewers, at no cost
The office's own standards
An office keeps its title blocks, view templates and view filters once. A model takes them by copy, with the office's mark.
Components are kept on the office's shelves, so a family drawn once is there for every model.
Sheets, file names and revisions follow ISO 19650 and ISO 7200 from one table.
The brief, signed
The brief is tracked room by room against the model. Roles decide who writes it, who links rooms to it, who reviews and who approves.
An approver signs from a link, with no account: an emailed code proves the address.
Permits
A designed building is checked against its plot's rules: setbacks, height, coverage and parking, each measured from the model. Where Calq holds an authority's permit profile, Saudi Arabia today, the permit set is printed to that platform's own upload slots.
It is a pre-check, never a certificate.
Open standards
Models go in and out as IFC, with COBie, gbXML, BCF and DXF, so the office works with consultants on any BIM tool.
What it costs
Studio is priced per seat: the price, the seats and what each plan holds are on calq.live/pricing. The whole modeller and every export are free, so an office can try Calq on a real project before it buys.
Questions
How is Studio different from Professional?
Professional is one person's plan. Studio is the office's: the studio space, the office's standards, brief roles and sign-off, and the permit checks.
Do our clients need an account?
No. Anyone with a model's link views it in the browser, and an approver signs the brief from a link.
Can we keep our models private?
Yes. On Studio a model is private to the office and the people it invites.
Does it work with Revit and Archicad?
Through IFC, in both directions.
