Everything you need to know about QVINTOS - how it works, what it reads and what it can do for your team.
QVINTOS is AI software for MEP engineering. It designs building-services systems in your IFC model, reviews the model for clashes and rule deviations, and answers questions about the model and the project documents with sources. Every result is built on QVINTOS OS - our rule bank based on Swedish rules and industry practice - and is confirmed by a qualified engineer. Sprinkler design, model review and Assist are available today; ventilation, plumbing, heating, electrical, fire alarm and coordination across several models can be tried in a pilot.Design · Coordinate · Assist
For HVAC, fire-protection and electrical engineers and BIM coordinators at consultancies and contractors, and for the project leads and reviewers who check their work.
Markup and drafting tools help an operator draw, measure and annotate. QVINTOS works in the IFC model itself: a deterministic engine designs the systems and checks the model, and the AI explains and sorts the results. In Design, the AI is never the source of a dimension; in Assist, a guard discards an AI answer with figures that are not in the model or the documents.
In: IFC. MEP design requires IFC4, and Revit models come in via IFC export. Out: drawing sheets as PDF (in Swedish) and DXF, the model as IFC with the MEP design authored in, and issues as BCF.In: IFC · Out: PDF · DXF · IFC · BCF
No. Design and model review start from an IFC model. QVINTOS does not read PDF, DWG or scanned drawings to design systems, and we do not train AI models on drawings or on your data.
Yes, in Assist. You can ask questions about the model and the project documents, and the answer shows the sources it is based on.
In QVINTOS Design and in Coordinate’s model review, the calculated values and findings come from the calculation engine, not from the AI, and carry the QVINTOS OS rule id they follow. Where a value rests on a rule with low confidence, the result says "to be checked by a qualified engineer". Where the basis is missing, the output says "To be completed by the inspector" - never a guess that looks exact. Reference calculations, re-run before each release, check that the same input gives the same calculated result.
The qualified engineer who reviews and signs it. QVINTOS produces the engineering basis and marks every sheet as a proposal until that happens.
QVINTOS reports what is missing instead of filling the gap. An unnamed space is reported as unnamed, and an input that is not in the model is marked as to be completed.
We onboard a limited number of consultancies and contractors at a time, so every team is set up properly with our team. Apply via the Apply page or book a demo, and we will get in touch.
Pricing depends on the team and the scope. Get in touch and we will propose a set-up that fits.
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest and stored in Microsoft Azure, Sweden Central. The AI in QVINTOS Design, Coordinate and Assist (text, analysis, review) runs on Azure OpenAI deployments in Sweden Central (Standard) or Microsoft’s EU Data Zone (DataZoneStandard), so prompts are processed within the EU, and Azure OpenAI does not use your data to train models. Microsoft’s abuse monitoring is on (Microsoft’s default): content flagged by its automated systems may be reviewed by authorised Microsoft personnel located in the EEA and is stored in the resource’s Azure geography. Every workspace is isolated by database row-level security. Our information security management system (ISMS) is documented; QVINTOS is not certified.

Yes. Several users in your organisation can work in the same project. Roles are set per organisation; permissions per individual project are not available yet.
