SketchUp: Intuitive 3D Design for Public Sector Innovation

SketchUp is the leading 3D modeling platform trusted by architects, engineers, planners, and builders worldwide. Its intuitive interface and professional-grade tools make it easy to create, visualize, and share designs—from quick conceptual sketches to detailed, build-ready models.

With an ecosystem that includes 3D Warehouse, Extension Warehouse, Trimble Connect, and Scan Essentials, SketchUp enables government agencies and public-sector organizations to streamline workflows, collaborate securely, and accelerate project delivery. Whether for urban planning, infrastructure, education, or facilities management, SketchUp helps teams design with precision, improve stakeholder communication, and deliver sustainable, high-performing projects.

With SketchUp, agencies can:

• Improve Collaboration – Connect teams and partners through Trimble Connect, shared model libraries, and a vast Extension Warehouse. This ensures everyone is working from the same data, reducing miscommunication and keeping projects on track.
• Enhance Stakeholder Communication – Transform technical plans into clear, visual 3D models that decision-makers and citizens alike can easily understand. This builds trust, improves transparency, and accelerates approvals.
• Accelerate Project Delivery – Leverage 3D Warehouse, Scan Essentials, and integrated workflows to streamline design and reduce rework. By visualizing challenges early, teams can cut delays and deliver projects more efficiently.

Support Sustainable Outcomes – Model and analyze building performance, material use, and energy efficiency to optimize designs for long-term sustainability. This helps agencies minimize environmental impact while meeting community goals.
