What It Is

Konstru is a cloud-based common data environment platform for architects, structural engineers, and BIM teams. Its core goal is to solve model interoperability issues between different modeling and structural analysis applications. It lets users view, edit, clean up, sync, and share model data across tools such as Revit, Tekla, SAP2000, ETABS, RAM, Dynamo, Grasshopper, and Excel, reducing duplicate modeling work and manual conversions.

Core Features and Collaboration

Konstru’s capabilities fall into six main areas: interoperable data exchange, online 3D visualization, model merging and comparison, connection repair, change management, and team collaboration. Its model comparison feature can highlight differences by geometry or ID, and also supports attribute-based filtering and custom comparison rules. For change management, it can retain model history, generate update and user activity reports, and roll back to a specific version. On the collaboration side, Konstru allows models to be shared with colleagues, clients, and contractors, with permission settings to control access, making it suitable for passing model changes between design teams and fabricators.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing is based on a per-model subscription. The Free Trial is free and includes up to 3 models, a single user, a 3D viewer, plugin uploads, 60-day history, and limited support. The Team plan costs $60/model/month when billed annually, or $75/model/month when billed monthly, and supports unlimited users, unlimited model history, model comparison, and interoperability. Enterprise pricing is available on request, adding access to beta features, onboarding, and best-practices webinars. The page mentions both 14-day and 30-day free trials, so this should be confirmed before purchase.

Pros and Cons

Konstru’s strengths are its clearly defined vertical use case: it focuses on connecting data across BIM and structural analysis software workflows, while providing engineering-oriented features such as 3D difference reports, selective downloads, and automatic connection repair. The Team plan allows unlimited users, which is friendly for multi-user project collaboration. Its drawbacks are that public materials do not disclose security certifications, data encryption, data residency, SLA, open API availability, or payment methods. Support is marked as “Limited Support” in multiple places, and the boundaries of enterprise-level service are not very clear.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Konstru is suitable for structural engineering teams, BIM managers, architecture firms, and educational institutions that frequently need to sync models between tools such as Revit, Tekla, SAP2000, and ETABS. Access from mainland China, network stability, and payment options are not covered in the available text, so testing via the trial is recommended. If access is limited, alternatives to compare include Autodesk Construction Cloud, Trimble Connect, Speckle, Bentley ProjectWise, or domestic BIM collaboration solutions in China.
