Bentley's AI-powered 4D construction planning platform that simplifies schedule-linked 3D modeling with intuitive workflows, geospatial context, and embedded Bentley Copilot AI assistance.

SYNCHRO+ - AEC Software Tool | Nomic AI Glossary

Definition

SYNCHRO+ is Bentley's next-generation 4D construction planning application unveiled at Year in Infrastructure 2025. Built on Bentley Infrastructure Cloud and powered by iModel technology, it shifts from fragmented workflows to a data-centric platform where schedule, 3D model, and coordination data live in one connected environment. The embedded Bentley Copilot AI assistant guides users through workflows, answers questions about the model, and can modify 3D content through conversational commands. Cesium-powered geospatial integration provides rich site context for infrastructure projects. Early Access launched December 2025, with general availability in 2026. SYNCHRO+ broadens 4D planning beyond specialist roles, giving project managers, owners, and field teams actionable visual insights without deep construction simulation expertise.

Examples

1

Linking a 3D infrastructure model to P6 and animating construction sequences for owner review

2

Using Bentley Copilot to ask 'Which activities are on the critical path this month?' and getting a visual response

3

Integrating Cesium geospatial data to show how highway construction affects surrounding traffic in 4D
