Together, Microdesk and Symetri comprise more than 750 consultants working across 35 offices in seven countries, serving more than 20,000 customers and 250,000 daily users in the US and Europe.

This generation of Naviate is now more tailored to meet customers’ broad-based needs for core accelerate, architecture, structure, MEP, site and landscape, fabrication, rebar, land use, daylight, and cloud manager functions. Naviate is compatible with leading Autodesk software including Revit, BIM 360, Autodesk Construction Cloud and Civil 3D and provides one team for managing all licenses.

“We are thrilled to announce the integration of BIMrx into the Naviate product suite during Autodesk University as AEC industry professionals gather to learn about the latest software, technology, and product innovations,” said Michael DeLacey, Chief Executive Officer, Microdesk. “The union of these important functions ultimately provides AEC professionals with a purpose-built solution that streamlines and enhances workflows throughout the entire BIM project lifecycle and expands capabilities to create leading-edge buildings and infrastructure, supporting our strategy to become a global market leader within the industry.”
