Pirros for
BIM & Design Technology Leaders
Stronger standards. Less manual work.
Pirros helps BIM managers and design technology leaders turn project content into a searchable, evolving standards system — so teams can find trusted details while standards stay aligned with the work actually happening across the firm. Fewer interruptions. More time improving the systems behind design production.
Standards are hard to maintain manually
Every firm wants clean standards and a reliable Revit library. In practice, maintaining that system requires constant effort.
Design technology leaders often find themselves:
- Maintaining Revit libraries by hand
- Helping teams track down details and families
- Keeping project work aligned with firm standards
- Watching standards drift across offices and projects
- Lacking visibility into how content is actually used
Valuable details are being created inside project models every day. Without an easy way to surface them, the library quickly falls behind the work happening across the firm.
How Pirros Helps
How engineers use Pirros to work smarter
Search without tags or naming conventions
Pirros uses AI and computer vision to make your firm's Revit content searchable across all uploaded projects by appearance, text, parameters, or name. Typo-tolerance is built in. When designers can find content on their own, repetitive requests drop significantly.
Surface reusable content automatically
Pirros analyzes content across projects and identifies details and families that are commonly reused across teams and projects. The Suggestions tab groups similar content by type, usage frequency, and project context, so you can see what deserves a spot in the standards library without manually hunting through project models.
Review, approve, and promote through built-in workflows
Vet content directly inside Pirros with markup, flagging, version tracking, and approval controls. Teams can request that content be reviewed for standards inclusion. The entire review process stays asynchronous and tied to the content itself, replacing committee meetings and email chains.
Control reuse with reference-only access and permissions
Mark specific projects or content as reference-only so teams can view and learn from past work without freely downloading it into live projects. Restrict Insert View from File to channel content through Pirros. These controls help junior staff access firm knowledge safely while protecting standards integrity.
Track usage and adoption across the firm
See which details and families are being downloaded, viewed, and reused across teams, offices, and projects. Identify which standards are widely adopted, where non-library content is being used, and which areas of the library are underperforming. Usage data replaces guesswork when deciding what to prioritize.
Manage at enterprise scale
Organize content across multiple libraries and workspaces to match your firm's office, discipline, or team structure. Define custom roles with granular permissions. Integrate with SSO for streamlined access management. Bulk-edit tags, notes, and project filters through Excel export and import for large-scale library maintenance.
Stronger standards.
Less manual work.
When teams can quickly access trusted content, the entire production workflow becomes easier to manage. Instead of constantly maintaining the system manually, design technology leaders can guide and improve it.

Built to Scale
A system that scales with the firm
As firms grow, maintaining standards across teams and offices becomes more complex.
Pirros helps design technology leaders move from manual library management to a system where standards evolve alongside real project work.
Instead of chasing content across the firm, BIM managers can focus on improving workflows, enabling teams, and strengthening the systems behind design production.
How leading firms keep standards aligned with real project work
David Baker Architects (DBA) is known for balancing design excellence with social impact. Maintaining that quality across projects requires more than a static standards library.
DBA built a workflow in Pirros to flag, vet, and approve details directly from project work. Approved details flow into the firm's Revit template and back into Pirros — a continuous feedback loop between project work and firm standards.

Increase in vetted library content - 15-20 hrs
Saved per project - $180K
Annual time savings
"We use Pirros as a tool to vet details. The details filter into our Revit template, and then back into Pirros. It's a feedback loop that keeps everything organized and current."

Frequently asked questions
Check out some of our recently asked questions.
How do BIM managers keep teams from using outdated or non-approved Revit content?
Pirros helps BIM managers open up access to more of the firm’s content without losing control over what gets reused. Teams can search across both approved standard content and non-standard project content, while outdated or sensitive details can be marked as reference only. That way, people can still review useful past work without pulling the wrong thing straight into a live project.
How does Pirros help BIM managers maintain and improve standards over time?
Pirros makes standards easier to maintain because it connects the standard library to what teams are actually producing on projects. BIM managers can review project content, respond to requests, mark up details, and promote strong content into standards through a more structured workflow. That makes standards feel less static and much more connected to real practice.
Can teams search beyond the standard library without creating risk?
Yes, and that is one of the biggest advantages of Pirros. Teams can search outside the standard library when the right solution is not already approved, but BIM managers can still guide reuse through reference-only access, permission requests, and review workflows. It gives designers broader access to firm knowledge while keeping safeguards in place.
How does Pirros help BIM managers identify what should be added to the standard library?
Pirros includes a Suggestions tab that helps BIM managers spot patterns they would otherwise miss. It groups together similar detail or family types and shows how those groups have been used across projects, project types, and users. So instead of manually hunting through project content, a BIM manager can quickly see that a certain type of wall detail or family has been reused many times outside the standard library, then decide whether to promote the best version or create a cleaned-up new one for standards.
How does Pirros reduce the number of questions and interruptions BIM managers have to handle?
A lot of those interruptions happen because teams cannot find the right content or are unsure whether it is safe to use. Pirros makes vetted details and families much easier to search, preview, and compare, so more people can answer those questions on their own. That means fewer repetitive requests and more time for BIM managers to focus on higher-value work.
How does Pirros help BIM managers collaborate with architects, engineers, and drafters?
Pirros gives teams a more direct way to communicate around actual content. BIM managers can mark up details, respond to requests, and organize useful content into shared stashes for a project, workflow, or team. That makes it easier to guide architects, engineers, and drafters without relying on disconnected PDFs, screenshots, or side conversations.
How does Pirros help BIM managers strengthen consistency across teams and offices?
Standards tend to drift when different teams rely on different folders, local habits, or legacy content. Pirros makes approved content easier to access across the firm and gives BIM managers a clearer way to guide what gets reused. That helps create more consistency across offices and teams without forcing everyone into a rigid manual process.
How does Pirros help BIM managers see how content is actually being used across the firm?
Pirros gives BIM managers more visibility into which details and families teams are downloading and reusing across projects. That makes it easier to understand what content is truly valuable, where standards may need attention, and what parts of the library are driving the most use. Instead of guessing what the firm relies on, BIM managers can make better decisions with real context.
