IFC Viewer
BIM Clash & Quantity Takeoff
฿99.00 · In-App Purchases
Project Audit & Evidence Pack. Combine Model Health, IDS and Coordinate checks in one run, then export PDF, CSV, JSON and ZIP evidence. Included with Unlock All.
IFC Viewer helps architects, engineers, contractors and BIM coordinators open, inspect and check IFC2x3 and IFC4 models on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Go beyond 3D viewing. Review clashes and clearances, measure quantities, compare revisions, validate model information and create structured evidence for project reviews — all from one IFC workspace.
VIEW YOUR IFC MODELS
• Open IFC2x3 and IFC4 files in an interactive 3D viewer.
• Explore buildings, storeys, elements, properties and quantities.
• Search, select, isolate and inspect IFC objects.
• Use Quick View for a fast check, or organise models and revisions into projects.
• Review models at your desk, in meetings or on site.
GO FURTHER WITH 14 OPTIONAL PRO TOOLS
• Clash Detection — hard clashes, minimum distances and clearance checks.
• Quantity Takeoff — geometry measurements, counts and takeoff baskets.
• Model Compare — changes between baseline and revised IFC models.
• Federator — bring multiple IFC models into one review.
• IDS Validator + IDS Creator — check or author information requirements.
• QA Reporter + Model Health — identify data-quality risks and model health issues.
• Coordinate Checker — inspect origins, units, placements and coordinate indicators.
• BCF Issue Tracker — capture, organise and export model issues.
• COBie Reporter + COBie Updater — review COBie quality and supported data changes.
• Parameter Dictionary, Query Studio and AI Data Compliance — explore IFC data and assess model evidence.
NEW: PROJECT AUDIT & EVIDENCE PACK
Choose a Model Health baseline review, or run Model Health, IDS Validation and Coordinate Checker together. Examine findings, statuses and evaluation coverage, revisit saved audit history and export an evidence pack containing PDF, CSV and JSON reports with a SHA-256 manifest.
IFC and IDS fingerprints identify the source data used. Where information is missing, the app reports limitations instead of inventing a pass.
Project Audit is included with verified Unlock All ownership or ownership of all 14 original individual Pro Tools.
BUY ONLY WHAT YOU NEED
The paid app includes core IFC viewing. Add individual Pro Tools as one-time in-app purchases, or choose Unlock All for all 14 current Pro Tools. No subscription.
BUILT FOR REAL PROJECT WORK
A practical local-first IFC review workflow across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Optional online features may require internet access. IFC Viewer supports review and analysis; its findings are not a substitute for project-specific verification or regulatory certification.
Support and guides: ifcviewer.co.uk/support
more Introducing Project Audit & Evidence Pack — a new way to turn IFC model checks into a reviewable record.
• Run Model Health on its own or combine Model Health, IDS Validation and Coordinate Checker in one audit.
• Choose an IFC revision and IDS ruleset, with separate source fingerprints and clear verification status.
• Review findings and evaluation coverage, with honest pass, warning, failure and incomplete outcomes.
• Save audit history and reopen previous results without rerunning the checks.
• Export a validated ZIP containing a PDF report, CSV findings, JSON results and a SHA-256 manifest.
Also improved:
• IDS importing from file providers, including Google Drive on Mac.
• Model and revision selection when files share the same name.
• Unlock All discovery on the iPhone Workspace for customers who have not purchased the full toolset.
• General usability and file-handling refinements across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Project Audit is included for Unlock All owners and customers who own all 14 original Pro Tools. No separate Project Audit purchase is required for eligible owners.
Results reflect supported model checks and available data; incomplete coverage is clearly reported rather than treated as a pass.

IFC Viewer 4.0 is built for iPhone Duo.
Open the model on the cover. Unfold it across both screens. Fold it back and the same model is still there — no re-import, no lost selection.
The viewer follows the device: closed, partially open, fully open, portrait or landscape. Quantity Takeoff, Clash Detection, Model Compare and Federator keep the model you already loaded. Existing tool purchases and Unlock All restore as before.
£2.99 opens the model. £24.99 unlocks all 14 tools, once. Local. No subscription.
A desktop BIM licence does not fold into your pocket. This does.
