Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Synqro’s construction intelligence platform, licensing, and security implementations.
What exactly is Synqro Construction Intelligence?
Synqro is an all-in-one cloud platform that integrates documents, 2D plan sheet viewing, 4D/5D BIM models, scheduling, and predictive AI analytics into a unified command center. It bridges the gap between field execution and management office workflows.
Does BIM Studio support standard IFC and Revit files?
Yes. Synqro BIM Studio supports industry-standard BIM formats, including IFC, RVT, DWG, and NWD files. Our AI engine processes these files automatically to extract embedded element metadata and map material quantities without structural data loss.
Can I restrict subcontractor access to sensitive project documents?
Yes. Synqro is built with granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Project managers can define precise read/write permissions, ensuring subcontractors, engineers, and owners only view documents, plans, and RFIs assigned to their specific operational scopes.
How does the AI Assistant help mitigate project risks?
Our AI algorithms monitor project health 24/7. By analyzing cross-document inconsistencies, tracking critical path float losses, and checking daily log parameters against historical data, Synqro flags potential delays and supply chain bottlenecks before they impact your milestones.
Where is our corporate project data hosted and how secure is it?
All data is encrypted end-to-end using AES-256 military-grade encryption standards in transit and at rest. Synqro is hosted on highly compliant, enterprise-grade cloud server infrastructures adhering to strict SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 security parameters.

Select your professional role below to see how our construction intelligence platform centralizes control, mitigates risks, and optimizes your specific daily workflows.
How does Synqro help General Contractors centralize project control?
Synqro provides General Contractors with a unified Operations Command Center to track field progress, manage subcontractor compliance, and log daily site data in real time. This eliminates communication silos and keeps project delivery perfectly aligned with your master schedule.
What tools are available for Subcontractors to manage their field operations?
Subcontractors gain instant access to a mobile-friendly workspace where they can view real-time 2D plan sheets, submit technical RFIs straight from the field, and review project updates. It ensures your crews always execute work based on the latest approved design revisions.
How can Developers and Owners get clear visibility into project performance?
Synqro gives Developers complete financial and operational transparency. Through executive dashboards and predictive AI analytics, owners can monitor live budget health, track baseline schedule variances, and detect potential delivery risks before they impact ROI.
How does the platform assist Estimators in building faster, more accurate budgets?
Estimators can perform digital 2D and 3D quantity takeoffs directly on plan sheets and BIM elements within seconds. Connected to dynamic unit cost libraries, any design update automatically adjusts your estimates, allowing you to build living budgets with zero human error.
In what ways does Synqro's AI support Project Managers with task management?
Project Managers can leverage our built-in AI Assistant to automate daily reporting, track cross-document inconsistencies, assign field tasks, and manage incoming RFIs. It shifts your workflow from reactive fire-fighting to proactive, data-driven project coordination.
How do Architects and Engineers coordinate design revisions and documentation?
Our BIM Studio and Document Control modules allow design teams to streamline technical responses and coordinate blueprint updates. By overlaying multi-page drawing revisions and isolating structural or MEP layers, you can resolve clashes early and secure a clean audit trail.
