About Qonic
The browser-native BIM platform that replaces the file handover with a live model.
Qonic is a cloud-based BIM modelling platform founded in 2021 in Ghent by Erik De Keyser, Mark Van Den Bergh, Tiemen Strobbe, Tjerk Gauderis and Sander Scheiris, all formerly from Bricsys (the BricsCAD team that Hexagon acquired in 2018). The product runs in the browser, on mobile and on desktop, and turns each BIM model into a database of assemblies, subassemblies and parts rather than a monolithic file. Architects, engineers, contractors and information managers create, enhance, coordinate and query the same model in real time, with open interoperability against Rhino, SketchUp, Revit and IFC.
For project leads and BIM coordinators in AEC, Qonic is the system of record for what is in the model: which elements exist, which revision they belong to, which discipline owns them and which coordination issues are still open. The in-product views cover the model-level question well. The harder questions sit across projects, disciplines and the financial side of the build: which change requests moved the project margin, how revision velocity per discipline tracks against the planned milestones, how element counts feed material orders in the ERP, and which coordination issues are dragging across submission cycles. Pulling Qonic into a warehouse is how those questions stop being a model someone has to open on a Friday afternoon to answer.
