Swapp

What is Swapp?

Swapp is an AI platform that produces construction documents and BIM models for architecture firms, directly inside Revit and ArchiCAD. The company calls it operational intelligence for architecture: it learns a firm’s standards, QA rules and past projects, then generates drawing sets with dimensions, annotations, views, sheets and schedules that follow those rules. Its products cover documentation, modelling, an agentic assistant called Frank and code and ADA compliance checks, the last of which is listed as early access.

SWAPP was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Tel Aviv, with US operations in Houston under SWAPP.IO, Inc. and a parent company named BuildOS Ltd. Co-founders Eitan Tsarfati (CEO) and Adi Shavit previously built Homestyler, which AEC Magazine reports was acquired by Autodesk. The official site lists a team of about 40 people, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and customers such as Stantec, Page and HGA. It claims more than 35 million square feet of construction documents delivered. The product was live and taking demo bookings in October 2026.

Key Features

• Construction documentation: Swapp generates full construction document sets inside Revit and ArchiCAD, including dimensions, tags, views, sheets and schedules. Output follows each firm’s own drawing standards rather than a generic template, so sets look like the firm’s usual work.
• 2D to 3D modelling: Swapp converts 2D layouts into detailed 3D BIM models at building scale, covering walls, doors, fixtures, floors, ceilings and finishes. The company says this modelling support runs from schematic design through to construction documents.
• Frank, the AI architect: Frank is an agentic assistant that reads and writes the live BIM model from a chat panel docked inside Revit or ArchiCAD. You ask for a task such as dimensioning a floor, and Frank proposes the changes for your team to approve.
• QA and validations: Swapp checks its output against the firm’s QA rules before delivery. Frank also runs collision detection and validation checks, which helps catch clashes and missing annotations earlier than a manual sheet review would.
• ADA compliance checks: Swapp’s agentic accessibility checker identifies ADA issues in the model and proposes fixes. The code and ADA compliance product is listed as early access, so availability may depend on your agreement with SWAPP.
• Workflow memory: Swapp learns firm-specific standards from past projects and from the corrections your team makes. That institutional knowledge carries forward, so the company says results improve with each new project rather than starting from scratch.
• Audit trail and reversals: Frank keeps a detailed audit trail of every action it takes in the model. Changes can be reversed, which matters in a profession where the licensed architect who seals the drawings remains responsible for them.
• Lifecycle intelligence: Swapp describes a lifecycle layer that spans design through delivery and operations. The official site lists links with Procore and Trimble alongside Revit and ArchiCAD, so documentation can move into wider construction workflows.

Pros

• Large claimed time savings: Swapp says Frank can handle up to 80% of construction documentation tasks on a project. The company also reports cutting documentation time by up to 70%, with more than 104,300 production hours saved over two years.
• Works inside existing tools: Swapp runs inside Revit and ArchiCAD instead of asking teams to move to a new authoring platform. Mixed-platform firms can use one assistant across both programs with the same workflow.
• Strong security posture: Swapp holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and states that each firm’s data is isolated. The company also says native BIM files are never sent to third-party LLM providers and customer data never trains general models.
• Architects stay in control: Swapp keeps a human in the loop: Frank proposes each action and your team approves it. Combined with reversible changes and an audit trail, this suits firms that carry professional liability for every sheet.
• Proven at large firms: Swapp lists production use at named firms including Stantec, Page, HGA and MOREgroup. The company claims more than 35 million square feet of construction documents delivered, which suggests real project use rather than a pilot.

Cons

• No public pricing: Swapp sells on enterprise terms and publishes no prices, so you must book a demo to get a quote. Small studios cannot compare the cost with other tools before talking to sales.
• Built for larger practices: Swapp targets mid- to large-size architecture firms in North America and Europe. Sole practitioners and small studios may find the onboarding, training on past projects and enterprise contract too heavy for their workload.
• Best on repeatable buildings: Swapp works best on predictable building types, according to an AEC Magazine profile. That review noted it suited boxy residential and student housing schemes, while complex one-off designs need far more manual input.
• Few independent reviews: Swapp had no user reviews on G2 when we checked in October 2026. Most performance figures come from the company itself, so ask for references and a pilot on your own project before you commit.
• Needs Revit or ArchiCAD: Swapp depends on Autodesk Revit or Graphisoft ArchiCAD, as Frank lives inside those programs. Firms working mainly in other BIM or CAD tools will gain little until they adopt one of the two.

Who is Using Swapp?

• Architecture firms: Producing construction document sets faster.
• BIM managers: Enforcing firm standards and QA across projects.
• Project architects: Delegating dimensioning, tagging and sheet set-up to Frank.
• Accessibility reviewers: Checking models for ADA issues before submission.

Pricing

Swapp is sold on enterprise pricing, and firms must contact SWAPP for a quote (official site, checked October 2026).

The trial claim comes from one directory and does not appear on the official site. Quotes depend on firm size and scope, so confirm terms directly with SWAPP before you plan a rollout.

What Makes Swapp Unique?

Swapp grounds its AI output in each firm’s own drawing history, QA rules and standards instead of applying one generic template. It also works natively in both Revit and ArchiCAD through a single assistant, Frank, which reads and writes the live model rather than giving chat suggestions. Every proposed change is reversible and logged, which addresses the liability concerns architects raise about automated drawings. The company adds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and a promise that native BIM files never reach third-party LLM providers, a point aimed at enterprise IT teams.

Compatibilities and Integrations

• Authoring tools: Autodesk Revit and Graphisoft ArchiCAD with the same workflow.
• Construction platforms: Procore and Trimble, with Autodesk Forma also listed by AEC+Tech.
• File formats: IFC import and export reported by AEC Magazine.
• Security: ISO/IEC 27001:2022, encryption and enterprise SSO.

Swapp Tutorials

SWAPP onboards each firm through a demo and set-up process, after which daily work happens inside your BIM tool.

1. Book a demo on swapp.ai and agree scope with the SWAPP team.
2. Share firm standards, QA rules and past projects so Swapp can learn them.
3. Open a project in Revit or ArchiCAD and launch the Frank chat panel.
4. Ask Frank for a task, such as dimensioning a level or checking ADA issues.
5. Review the proposed changes, approve or reverse them, and issue the sheets.

How We Rated It

Summary

Swapp suits mid- to large-size architecture firms that produce a steady flow of construction documents in Revit or ArchiCAD. Its main limitation is access: pricing is enterprise only, and independent user reviews are still scarce. The tool also performs best on repeatable building types. We suggest running a pilot on a past project with known drawings, so you can compare Frank’s output against your team’s own sets before you sign.
