Review tool

A review tool is a software application used to inspect, evaluate, and provide feedback on project data, technical plans, or digital models. It plays a vital role in industries such as construction, engineering, and manufacturing, where detailed reviews are essential before implementation or decision-making.

Review tools support the visualisation, commenting, and comparison of models or documents, often in 2D and 3D formats. They enable real-time collaboration, where stakeholders can annotate files, suggest changes, and track revision histories in a shared environment.

These tools improve cross-disciplinary communication, reduce misunderstandings, and help ensure compliance with standards and requirements. Integrated with BIM platforms or digital twin environments, review tools provide a central interface for checking technical consistency, design alignment, and constructability. They are essential for effective quality assurance, change control, and structured feedback during the design and pre-construction phases.
