Design Development

Manage product data and design decisions without switching tools.

Layer helps teams organize product specs, detail references, and system decisions in one place — linked to model views and visible to all collaborators.

Without Layer

❌

Technical product info and design intent tracked separately

❌

Coordination with engineers and consultants fragmented

❌

Project documentation not version-controlled or searchable

With Layer

✅

Product data and specs stored alongside design notes

✅

All collaborators viewing the same structured data in real time

✅

Change history tied to each design element

Layer has allowed my company to deliver many of our projects faster and with greater ease. For my industry, Layer's ability to attach pictures, descriptions, and other information to specific points in a building while simultaneously adding them into a searchable, robust database greatly improves our workflow to become more organized and faster.

Layer ensures we have the right data at the right time. The direct integration into Revit is also a major bonus.

From heritage buildings to new construction, Layer works as a kit of parts to manage our data. It’s a highly flexible tool that adapts to your workflows and not the other way around.Their staff are available and truly care about the success of our projects.

Mark LePage

Architect & Entrepeneur

Layer is very impressive and intuitive. When you see that a conversation about the flooring material in a specific room in a specific building can be found in seconds and that can happen over and over all day long, it’s amazing how much time and money using Layer would save.

Drew Zeiba

Tech Editor

The goal of Layer App is to increase project transparency and ease of use by allowing all of the information on a building to exist together and to allow team communication to happen within the same space.

Kasian Architecture

Layer’s support team has helped us speed up the time it takes us to accomplish our goals. Once you have a Layer template set up, the rest is easy peasy. The fields are already there because I copied it from the original template. All I need to do is input the data.
