The anticipation is over! After dedicated efforts over the past few years, we’re thrilled to unveil a revolutionary approach to collaboration in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction & Operations (AECO) industry, starting right from project inception.
We’re proud to introduce Xrev™, a cutting-edge Common Data Environment (CDE) platform designed for seamless project collaboration. This marks a significant transformation from Xrev the company to the powerful Xrev™ platform.
This repositioning of the Xrev brand aligns with the launch of:
- Xrev™; a Common Data Environment.
- A new Website and Domain xrev.io
- New User-based licensing model and self-managed User Portal.
- Major new release of Transmit; our Autodesk® Revit® plugin for Printing, Exporting and Issue Tracking.
- Major new release of UpRev™; our free Autodesk® Revit® plugin for quickly managing Revisions.
- Official release of XContent™; our Library of Autodesk® Revit® Families and Templates.
- Official release of XKnow™; our subscription based BIM Knowledge Base.
How are people currently managing Document Control?
Currently, Document Control in the AEC industry, especially pre-contractor engagement, is predominantly managed through email and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Despite technological advancements, our market research indicates that in pre-construction phases, people continue to rely on traditional methods for project collaboration:
These figures are indeed alarming! Locating crucial design instructions, such as Changes, Mark-ups, Approvals, and Coordination issues, or even retrieving the latest drawings and specifications from an email inbox can be a nightmare. The process relies on recipients diligently downloading and organizing this information internally for their teams. This not only has cost implications but also creates ripple effects that need to be captured and addressed.
Our Xrev™ platform is designed to alleviate these challenges by offering a CDE that simplifies Document Control, ensuring seamless collaboration and minimising the associated costs and impacts.
What makes Xrev™ a unique or unCommon Data Environment?
Xrev™ offers an optimised feature set tailored for project collaboration right from the initial sketches of a project. Unlike most platforms, Xrev™ is specifically designed and priced for use before contractor engagement. In the AECO industry, discussions and collaborations revolve around designs, conveyed through sketches, drawings, visualisations, models, and specifications.
The challenge with communication over email or phone is the need to reference specific documents. Emails may contain numerous references, making it difficult to track and follow conversations or design instructions. Xrev™ addresses this by adopting a highly flexible and interconnected web, where all communication is directly linked to documents, tasks, meetings, and reviews. This ensures that regardless of where you’re looking, you can access all related information within seconds.
With Xrev™, say goodbye to the risk of losing project information and experience seamless collaboration throughout your project lifecycle!
Xrev™ stands out as one of the few solutions that effectively addresses the quality assurance requirements of ISO19650 through its Work In Progress container. This dedicated space serves as a private area for your organisation to facilitate internal collaboration. You can publish Work In Progress documents within this container, enabling your team to access current drawings without the need for additional software licenses. Team members can efficiently complete markups, engage in discussions, and conduct thorough reviews of each document before final approval for sharing with the broader project team beyond your organisation. Xrev™ ensures a streamlined and secure process for managing your work in progress, aligning with ISO19650 standards.

New User-based licensing for all our solutions
Machine-based licensing and the need for serial numbers can be cumbersome. Recognising this challenge, many software providers, including Xrev™, have embraced a user-based licensing model. This model offers the flexibility of logging in from any device, facilitating easy access to your tools. Particularly in the post-pandemic era, where remote work has become commonplace, this user-based approach proves crucial for seamless operations.
Effortlessly oversee your subscriptions and access with the convenience of the new user portal.
