Synchro vs Synchro 4D

Synchro Pro was once a product that existed on its own. In 2018, Bentley made the decision to acquire Synchro for integration into its existing suite of digital delivery products. Modifications were made to the original software during this integration process.

what is synchro control and synchro field?

Synchro was a construction scheduling product that features robust integration with BIM modelling capabilities. With the acquisition of Synchro, Bentley repackaged the brand into 4 separate modules:

  • Synchro 4D
  • Synchro Control
  • Synchro Field
  • Synchro Cost

The full suite of modules features additional functionality that was previously not available in the original Synchro product.

How to use synchro?

Synchro 4D contains the full set of features that downstream users may not need. If you have no need for the full set of features for your team, consider whether Synchro Control or Synchro Field is sufficient for your needs.

Project Planners require the full set of features, while downstream users (i.e. site engineers) may not.

Synchro is a cloud-based collaboration tool that allows every user along the construction workflow to work from a common data model. Users who require a more in-depth presentation on Synchro’s features and workflows may schedule a presentation from us.
