COBie & Data Management
COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) is a standardised format for managing and transferring building data throughout the design, construction, and maintenance phases. It streamlines information exchange by replacing traditional operations manuals with a structured, digital format. In addition to the standard COBie template, we also support bespoke variations tailored to specific business needs. Our service ensures seamless management of hundreds of parameters and millions of data points, optimising project handover and long-term asset management.
Methodology
Our process includes a comprehensive review of all available project data for the built asset. Information is often fragmented across various documents and platforms, this is where our consultants excel. We take charge of the heavy lifting, consolidating and organising data efficiently, ensuring seamless accessibility and accuracy throughout the project lifecycle.
01
We begin with a detailed review of information requirements. If these are not clearly defined, we conduct interviews with key departments to understand the data that drives your business, ensuring alignment with project goals.
02
Next, we perform a thorough analysis of existing BIM datasets, generating a Gap Report that outlines the current project status and identifies missing information. This report is shared with the team, and a clear strategy is developed to address these gaps efficiently.
03
Whether through manual data extraction from various sources or by managing design teams authoring the models, our goal remains the same: to achieve 100% of the requested data, ensuring it is both accurate and relevant.
04
Finally, we ensure that all data is uploaded to the Common Data Environment (CDE), making it easily accessible to project stakeholders. In some cases, we also integrate this data with external systems like CAFM software to enhance operational efficiency.
