Ready for a software company that doesn't treat you like another #?

Layer is the workflow platform for buildings with no pricelocked features or limits and personable support.

With Airtable, you pay per Workspace. Have cross-collaborative teams that need to share some things, but gate others? That will double your cost or more. Layer takes a different approach: project or workspace limits, no hidden costs. Whether you're managing one project or a hundred, you can attach unlimited notes, photos, and data at no extra charge.

We believe software should be build around your workflows, not the other way around. As professionals from the built environment, we designed Layer around what's most important to you: The building. Layer’s built-in Revit integration means your building data stays in sync.

Whether you're tracking a single renovation or managing a portfolio of buildings, you get the same seamless access to notes, photos, and Revit integration. Need enterprise level customization or pre-built templates that match your standards & don't have the time? We’ll work directly with you, it doesn't matter if your team has 10 people or 10,000+.
