What IFC versions does Nomic support?
Nomic supports IFC2x3, IFC4, and IFC4x3 — including infrastructure and alignment entities, not just buildings. Upload a .ifc or .ifczip file and the agent indexes it automatically.
AI for BIM & IFC Models
Solve real tasks in your IFC and BIM models — without Revit, Navisworks, or a BIM specialist. The Nomic agent reads IFC files natively, extracts the full model into queryable tables, and runs quantity takeoffs, coordination checks, data validation, and space schedules on demand.
Model tasks in seconds
Quantity takeoffs, room schedules, and data validation that used to take hours now run in seconds against the model directly.
Whole-team access
Estimators, project managers, clients, and FM teams get model data without waiting for a BIM specialist or a schedule export.
Verifiable, not hallucinated
Every answer traces to SQL over real model data. Teams can verify what the agent queried and trust the results.
The problem
BIM data locked behind specialist software
BIM models contain the most authoritative data on a project — element counts, material quantities, space areas, system memberships, property sets. But that data is locked behind specialist software. Extracting a schedule means opening Revit. Checking for coordination issues means running Navisworks. Validating data means a BIM manager manually spot-checking hundreds of elements. Most of the project team — estimators, project managers, clients, facilities teams — never gets direct access to the model data they need.
The solution
Nomic Agent for BIM & IFC
The Nomic agent reads IFC files natively and extracts the full building model into structured, queryable tables. Assign it a task in plain English — run a quantity takeoff, check for coordination issues, validate property data, generate a room schedule — and it returns results grounded in the actual model data, not AI summaries. No Revit license, no BIM specialist, no export workflow. Anyone on the project team can get model answers in seconds.
How it works
01
01
Upload IFC, get an indexed model instantly
Drop a .ifc or .ifczip file into a Nomic project space and the agent automatically extracts the full model — every element, property set, quantity, level, space, material, and relationship — into structured tables ready to query. Supports IFC2x3, IFC4, and IFC4x3 including infrastructure models. No conversion, no pipeline to manage.
Solve tasks: takeoffs, schedules, validation, coordination checks
Assign the Nomic agent any task against the model — run a concrete volume takeoff by level, generate a room schedule for level 3, check for missing fire ratings, find MEP elements that intersect structural zones. The agent writes and runs SQL over the real model data and returns precise answers, not summaries.
Reason across models and project documents together
BIM models in Nomic live alongside specs, drawings, RFIs, and project documents. The agent can reason across them — checking whether fire ratings in the model match the door schedule PDF, or whether material specs in the project spec book align with what is modeled. One knowledge base for the whole project.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about this workflow.
Do I need Revit or other BIM software to use Nomic?
No. Nomic runs entirely in the browser. Anyone with access to the project space can query the model, inspect geometry, and pull data — no CAD license required.
How does the Nomic agent answer questions about my model?
When an IFC file is uploaded, Nomic extracts the full model into structured tables (elements, properties, levels, spaces, materials, relationships, and more). The agent writes SQL over those tables to answer questions with real numbers from the model — not summaries or guesses.
Can I use Nomic alongside project specs and drawings?
Yes. BIM models live alongside specs, drawings, RFIs, and other project documents in Nomic. The agent can reason across them together — for example, checking whether fire ratings in the model match the door schedule PDF.
