Making BIM simple, scalable, and human

Revit is already complicated enough. We're here to make your life easier. Because managing content shouldn’t be harder than creating great buildings.

We believe architects and engineers should spend their time designing, and BIM managers should have the tools to help make that happen. Kinship was built to remove the pain and complexity from BIM content management, so your team's creativity and collaboration can shine.

We're a small, passionate team dedicated to building great software that our customers and users love. We bring together deep expertise in AEC and technology, with decades of experience both in Revit and BIM and in software development.
