TeraAirlift

Controlled delivery for large BIM, VDC, and scan-to-BIM packages

Built for controlled delivery of RVT, IFC, NWD, coordination packages, bid sets, owner handoff packages, and scan-to-BIM datasets — in a desktop console that does not depend on a browser upload.

End-to-end desktop clients — you send from the app; your recipient opens TeraAirlift and pulls from Available Downloads.

Stop emailing 'too large to send'

VDC and BIM teams exchange model and documentation packages that exceed email and SaaS limits — on immovable calendar deadlines. TeraAirlift is a desktop console for teams that treat delivery as operations.

BIM models exceed every attachment limit

Revit files, IFC exports, Navisworks federated models, and coordination ZIPs on large projects routinely outgrow email and stall in browser uploaders.

Wrong model set delivered to site

Version confusion creates RFI churn. Teams need a controlled delivery path with history — not ad-hoc links in personal cloud accounts.

Email download links create phishing and version risk

Forwardable URLs in threads get opened by the wrong trade, spoofed in lookalike messages, or lost before the coordination call. VDC needs linkless delivery — authenticated available downloads — not another magic link in the inbox.

Time-boxed access for bids and coordination

Owners and subs need access during bid or meeting windows — then access should end. Generic email share links don’t enforce that cleanly.

Slow uploads from jobsite trailers

Regional offices and jobsite connections need desktop-scale throughput for large packages with progress and retry — not uploads that stall before Monday's site walk.

IT wants delivery outside personal accounts

Random Dropbox and WeTransfer links bypass IT policy and create phishing surface. Teams need organization-backed, linkless delivery with recipient controls and audit-friendly status.

Controlled file delivery for VDC and coordination workflows

TeraAirlift gives BIM coordinators and VDC teams a professional desktop console for queuing large model packages, setting recipient policy, and monitoring uploads — with linkless handoff instead of emailed download URLs.

  • Linkless, end-to-end clients — recipients install TeraAirlift and pull from Available Downloads; no phishable email URLs
  • Queue IFC, NWD, RVT, and coordination ZIPs from the desktop
  • Set GC, architect, and trade partner access with clear access windows
  • Monitor upload progress, speed, and ETA from the transfer queue
  • Retry failed jobs without re-packaging the entire deliverable
  • Upload history for record of what was sent and when
  • SHA-256 verification reduces 'bad model' disputes on delivery
  • Recipient-only access enforced server-side — not honor-system sharing

How TeraAirlift works for construction teams

From coordination session to verified model delivery — built for calendar-driven milestones.

  1. 1

    Sign in with your organization

    Microsoft Entra ID authentication for enterprise-backed access. No personal cloud accounts required for controlled delivery.

  2. 2

    Package and queue model deliverables

    Add IFC/NWD exports, clash reports, BCF packages, or site photo sets via file picker or drag-and-drop. Queue multiple packages for Friday-night delivery.

  3. 3

    Configure recipients and access windows

    Set GC, architect, and trade partner emails. Align who can download — and when access ends — with bid deadlines or coordination meeting dates, without handing out forwardable email links.

  4. 4

    Upload with queue visibility

    Start uploads from your office connection. Monitor active jobs, throughput, ETA, and delivery status from the operations console.

  5. 5

    Recipients download from the dashboard

    Trade partners and owners are notified that a package is ready, then open the TeraAirlift desktop client and pull from Available Downloads — no hunting through email threads for expired or phishable links.

  6. 6

    Verify model integrity on delivery

    SHA-256 verification confirms the package arrived intact — reducing disputes about corrupted or incomplete model sets.

Built for VDC and coordination workflows

Concrete delivery scenarios for construction and BIM teams.

IFC and federated model delivery to trades

Send coordination exports after clash detection sessions — linkless, recipient-locked delivery aligned to the site walk.

Bid set distribution with time-boxed access

Distribute large bid packages to subs with authenticated access that ends after the bid window closes — not forwardable email URLs.

Site photo and video packages to owner reps

Deliver large documentation sets from the jobsite without choking browser uploaders on trailer Wi-Fi.

Scan-to-BIM deliverable handoff

Transfer large point-cloud and model packages to design partners with integrity verification on delivery.

Friday-night queue for Monday reviews

Line up multiple coordination packages overnight — check queue status before the morning standup.

Active construction site with high-rise crane during daytime

Coordination packages should land before the meeting starts.

Trustworthy delivery for project stakeholders

Linkless handoff, recipient controls, and integrity verification — without claiming certifications we can't verify.

Linkless file delivery

Recipients don’t chase emailed download URLs. They sign in, see available downloads in the console, and pull the package under your access policy — so there’s no forwardable link to phish, no inbox scavenger hunt, and a clearer path to ensured delivery.

Recipient-controlled access

Set who can download and when access ends — enforced server-side for authenticated recipients, not an honor-system share link in someone’s email.

SHA-256 integrity verification

Files are hashed before upload, validated on completion, and verified again on download — so corrupted deliverables are caught before they reach your client.

Short-lived storage access

Presigned URLs and SAS tokens expire quickly. Blob credentials never persist on the desktop client.

Enterprise identity ready

Sign in with Microsoft Entra ID for organization-backed access. Built for B2B teams, not casual link sharing.

Operational visibility

Queue metrics, per-transfer detail, delivery status, error logging, and diagnostics export — the visibility generic file-sharing tools don't provide.

Direct data plane transfers

Upload and download traffic goes directly to cloud storage — not proxied through the API — for higher throughput and predictable performance.

Run a planning estimate for your package size and bandwidth before you commit tonight's deadline.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a replacement for Dropbox, SharePoint, or Frame.io?
TeraAirlift is a desktop transfer operations console for deadline-driven handoffs — queue, monitor, retry, control recipient access, and verify integrity. Collaboration and review tools remain useful for day-to-day work; TeraAirlift focuses on the large delivery window those tools struggle with. It is end-to-end clients: sender and recipient both use the desktop app.
Do recipients need to install TeraAirlift?
Yes. Sender and recipient both use the desktop client. After you send, the recipient opens TeraAirlift and pulls the package from Available Downloads — not a magic download link in email.
Where does the recipient get the files?
In the TeraAirlift desktop app, under Available Downloads. That is the pickup surface — not a browser page and not a forwarded URL.
How do expiring access windows work?
You set an access window for each delivery so recipient access expires when the window ends.
What does integrity verification mean?
SHA-256 integrity verification hashes files before upload, validates on completion, and re-verifies after download.
How do I try it on a real workflow?
Download the desktop client, send a real test package from the app, and have your recipient install (or open) TeraAirlift and pull from Available Downloads. That is the same path you would use under deadline — no browser upload.
Can I use this for very large folders?
Yes. TeraAirlift is positioned for massive professional datasets — media packages, point clouds, and BIM deliverables — with queue visibility instead of blind browser uploads.
What if my connection drops?
Retry-friendly transfer operations are part of the design. Unreliable field or suite networks should not force you to restart a multi-hour handoff from zero without visibility.
How is pricing handled?
Pay-as-you-go on data delivered: $180 per terabyte transferred ($0.18/GB of data delivered), with no monthly minimum. See the pricing page for example costs. Team subscriptions are on the roadmap.
Is this available for Windows and Mac?
Yes. Sender and recipient both download clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux from the download page, then work end-to-end in the desktop console.
