Mobile ifc viewer

To open an IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) file on a construction site, you need a high-performance BIM viewer capable of handling large, federated models on mobile hardware. By using Procore as your primary BIM construction tool, site teams can:

• Publish models directly from design tools into the app

• Access the most current data without needing expensive design licences

• Ensure everyone on site is building from the same approved design

• Maintain a clear record of information across all stakeholders

• Reduce the risk of non-compliance significantly

• Capture as-built data accurately for final submission

Explore Procore BIM capabilities

Viewing BIM models on a tablet is straightforward with the Procore app, which is fully optimised for both iOS and Android devices. This level of mobile BIM management equips site teams to:

• Open the 'Models' tool and explore 3D environments using intuitive touch controls

• Experience smooth navigation on complex models using advanced graphics frameworks

• Validate installations in real time to ensure work matches approved designs

• Turn issues found during site-based clash detection into an observation or RFI instantly

• Keep the project program on track and reduce the need for office-based coordination

See mobile BIM in action

Yes. Procore’s mobile BIM viewer includes robust offline capabilities essential for BIM construction projects with limited connectivity, such as basements, tunnels, or remote infrastructure. The offline-first architecture allows you to:

• Cache data to your device while online to explore 3D models and take measurements offline

• Sync captured site defects or compliance photos automatically once reconnected

• Prevent site teams from being slowed down by poor signal

• Ensure the digital record remains a continuous, accurate reflection of site reality

• Maintain productivity and data integrity without relying on high-speed site Wi-Fi

Discover offline site management tools

A mobile IFC viewer is the most efficient way to capture evidence of quality and compliance. Instead of relying on manual checks or memory, site teams use the viewer to:

• Verify critical installations (like fire-stopping and MEP routing) directly against the 3D model

• Validate that the physical build aligns with the 4D BIM program

• Create a transparent record of digital proof

• Reduce financial risks associated with rework and handover delays

• Simplify the handover process by storing and exporting high-fidelity data for main contractors and subcontractors
