Speckle's key platform principles

These principles aren't just technical requirements—they're business imperatives that determine whether your data becomes a strategic asset or an expensive liability.

Democratized Data Access

Your project data should be easily accessible to everyone who can leverage it to make better decisions, not hidden behind restrictive licenses or locked in proprietary formats. This means establishing appropriate access levels so that critical information reaches the right stakeholders at the right time, such as notifying cost estimators about design changes and ensuring clients can view cost progress tracking in real-time.

Tool Independence

Your data must exist independently of any single application, preserving your freedom to choose the best tools for each job without vendor lock-in. When your structural analysis reveals issues, you need the ability to seamlessly move that data to visualization software, cost estimation tools, or emerging AI platforms, without costly exports, reformatting, or data loss.

Actionable Intelligence

Your data must be organized and queryable, ready to address both your most significant strategic challenges and your most mundane productivity issues. While 70% of businesses say AI is critical to their success, only 13% are actually ready to leverage it to its full potential. Raw data sitting idle in disconnected systems delivers zero value.

Choose Speckle to put your BIM data to work in a safe, controlled environment—no small print when it comes to data ownership, no compromises when it comes to transparency.

With that said, we're comfortable with our Terms being reviewed under a microscope and invite you to review them for yourself.

Don't settle for a locked-in AEC data infrastructure.
