The AEC industry runs on tools its own people build — Dynamo graphs, Revit add-ins, Excel estimating models, IFC pipelines, AI assistants. Almost none of them ever reach the colleagues who need them.
The gap
Generic marketplaces treat a Revit add-in like a website template, and freelance platforms treat a BIM specialist like a logo designer. Neither understands licensing per seat, model auditing scopes, or the fact that the best person to support a tool is the builder who wrote it.
The bet
AEC Forge puts the product and the person on the same shelf: buy the script, or hire its author to adapt it. Licensed downloads with a real activation API, tiered service packages with honest delivery times, vetted vendors, and a flat transparent commission — on an open-source, GPL platform.
Built in the open
The marketplace engine is the free AEC Market plugin for WooCommerce — the code that runs this site is the code you can read, extend and self-host.
