SketchUp Pro is well suited for 3D construction applications - prevent rework, coordinate more effectively, and get it right the first time.

Build Confidently.

Less iteration, more building

Nothing beats a 3D model for visualizing complex site conditions, structural connections, and building systems. Every minute you spend validating details and creating clear 3D drawings to explain them saves time and money in rework and delays. Simplify the build by thinking through and communicating your projects in 3D with SketchUp.

Explore your project before it’s built

Prevent costly revisions by experiencing projects in mixed reality before you start construction. Use SketchUp Viewer with a smart phone, tablet, or an AR/VR device, and walk clients through 3D models at 1:1 scale. Detect clashes, help owners evaluate design options, and get sign-off before materials are ordered.

Geo-location

SketchUp reads and writes a variety of CAD and 3D file formats, so it’s easy to progress your work in other modeling platforms.

Create constructible drawings

Draw plans, elevations, sections, build details… anything you need to start the build. The best part: when your model changes, so do your construction documents. Simple.
