PAVE Updates – 2025 in Review

17.12.2025 Reading time: 9 min

2025 was a pivotal year for PAVE. With significant technological advancements, new interfaces, AI-powered features, and numerous optimizations, the platform was consistently enhanced to be more powerful and intuitive. A particularly important milestone was the successful ISO 27001 recertification, confirming that our company’s Information Security Management System (ISMS) continues to meet international standards – an essential quality indicator for our customers and partners.

Another significant event was the release of version V.5.100: With this update, PAVE reached a symbolic milestone – 100 iterations of the Modern GUI since its introduction. This demonstrates not only the continuous development of the product but also the close collaboration with users, partners, and customers, who have made a significant contribution to its ongoing improvement through feedback, feature requests, and testing.

The biggest Highlights of 2025

The following innovations provide an in-depth look at the features that shaped the year and clearly demonstrate how PAVE has further enhanced its performance and usability. At the same time, it becomes evident how PAVE has strengthened its position as an established BIM solution and reinforced its role as a reliable Common Data Environment (CDE).

Solibri Integration

The new Solibri integration makes model-based collaboration in PAVE faster, clearer, and fully digital.

What’s now possible

Direct synchronization of BCF issues between PAVE and Solibri – including newly created issues
Reviews, comments, and corrections without exports or imports
Consistent, up-to-date data through tight integration with the BIM module
End-to-end checking, documentation, and processing of BIM issues in both systems

The integration connects model checking and issue management into a smooth, uninterrupted workflow – saving teams time and significantly improving the quality of BIM coordination.

Comfort & Usability

Reorganize structures – as easy as it should be
With drag & drop in the sidebar, directories can now be rearranged intuitively. Create a project structure in seconds that truly reflects how your team works.

Clarity in settings
Revised and more neutral wording in the security settings ensures that options are immediately understandable. This makes the system easier to use – especially for new users.

Tables that remember your preferences
PAVE now automatically remembers the last sorting used in table views. Open a view, and everything is sorted exactly the way you last worked. No clicks. No settings. Just keep working.

QR codes for instant access to plan information
Just scan and all relevant plan meta information is immediately available. Ideal for construction sites, site visits, or meetings — access information exactly where you need it.

Delegate function for seamless collaboration
With the delegate function, project-specific representatives automatically take over the owner role, ensuring smooth project progress even during absences.

A consistently coherent user experience
Many small design improvements ensure greater consistency across filters, dialogs, and view elements. The result: a calmer, more logical interface that supports daily work smoothly and efficiently.

Admin Functions & System Control

In the system control area, administrators centrally manage user rights, responsibilities, and access. The permission matrix clearly highlights deleted users and remains available even in archived projects, ensuring permissions are always transparent and traceable – including for handovers and audits.

For structural changes, extended admin functions allow files and folders to be reassigned or fully deleted, including all subfolders and links. An improved cancel function also provides greater security and control during large-scale actions.

Instantly see what’s no longer active

Deleted users are now clearly highlighted in the permission matrix. This makes rights management faster, safer, and much more transparent – especially in large projects with many stakeholders.

Reassign responsibilities flexibly

With the ownership transfer feature, files and folders can easily be assigned to a new responsible person. Whether due to team changes, vacation cover, or role adjustments, structures remain clean and responsibilities stay clear.

Transparency even after project completion

The rights matrix is now available in archived projects as well. This ensures permissions remain traceable at all times – a clear benefit for audits, compliance, and long-term documentation.
