Pirros – Serious Detail Management

From the Pirros website:

It’s time to modernize your firm’s detail management

Pirros is a modern approach to detail management – analyzing the thousands of new details you design every year, and aggregating the right ones into a cloud-based library of details.

Your details have the potential to be your firm’s superpower

Only a fraction of information gets captured in your firm's detail library. Pirros unlocks all the information that you currently can only access by digging through past projects.

Efficiency

Our advanced search engine allows you to search all the metadata associated with a detail to locate it in under a minute, then pull it into Revit just as quickly — no waiting for a model to open or upgrade.
