About
Speckle is an open-source data platform for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry that replaces traditional file-based model sharing with live data streams. Instead of exporting Revit, Rhino, or Grasshopper models manually, users can publish their parameters and metadata directly to the cloud through Speckle’s connectors. These data streams can be viewed in the web viewer, allowing architects, engineers, and clients to collaborate without needing the original modeling software. The platform acts as a real-time data hub, where every design update is automatically tracked. Teams can automate workflows such as clash detection, QA checks, or performance dashboards using the 'Automate' module, or integrate model data into tools like Power BI, Python scripts, or custom web apps. Unlike traditional BIM exchange formats, Speckle keeps the data structured and live-linked. Use cases include streaming live Revit models to consultants for coordination, visualizing Rhino or Grasshopper geometry in a web dashboard, comparing design revisions, connecting building data to sustainability metrics, and embedding live 3D models into project portals. Speckle’s open API and self-hosting options make it suitable for both individual designers and enterprise-level data infrastructures.
