Our COBie Data Services

From strategy to handover — select a phase to explore how we work across the COBie deliverable lifecycle.

🧭

Strategy & Requirements

We review your project requirements to make sure your COBie deliverable aligns with your project goals, contract, and stakeholder needs from day one.

  • ✓ Requirement Review
    Map EIR/AIR, contracts, and stakeholder expectations to a COBie deliverable plan.
  • ✓ COBie Strategy
    Define the steps, roles, and tools needed to collect, manage, and deliver COBie data.
  • ✓ Handover Plan
    Set milestones for progressive COBie drops through design, construction, and closeout.
🏗️

Authoring & Enrichment

We author and enrich model data so the COBie schedule flows out of your BIM — not out of a spreadsheet built at the end of the job.

  • ✓ Parameter Setup
    Configure shared parameters and classifications inside Revit / IFC authoring tools.
  • ✓ Model Enrichment
    Populate Contact, Facility, Floor, Space, Zone, Type, and Component data at source.
  • ✓ Uniclass Mapping
    Map elements to Uniclass Ss / Pr categories for consistent classification.

Validation & QA

We validate your COBie data against ISO 19650 and project-specific rules — flagging missing, malformed, or non-compliant fields before handover.

  • ✓ Rule-Based Checks
    Automated validation across mandatory COBie fields and formats.
  • ✓ Cross-Model QA
    Reconcile COBie exports against the federated model and schedules.
  • ✓ Compliance Report
    Deliver a traceable QA report with issues, owners, and status.
📦

Conversion & Delivery

We convert and package your COBie output in the format your stakeholders need — XLSX, IFC, STEP, or client-specific templates — ready for FM handover.

  • ✓ Format Conversion
    Export to XLSX COBie, IFC-COBie, or client CDE templates.
  • ✓ FM Handover
    Structure data for CAFM / IWMS ingest and asset registers.
  • ✓ Training & Support
    Enable your team to maintain COBie data through operations.

— Common Pitfalls

What derails a COBie deliverable.

Most COBie failures aren't about the standard — they're about process. These are the patterns we help teams get in front of.

01

Late COBie Thinking

COBie is often treated as a closeout deliverable, not a design decision — leading to expensive rework.

02

Fragmented Sources

Data lives in models, drawings, submittals, and spreadsheets with no single source of truth.

03

Inconsistent Classification

Missing or conflicting Uniclass / OmniClass tags break downstream FM ingestion.

04

Manual Handover

Copy-paste workflows into COBie spreadsheets introduce errors and burn hours.

05

Unclear Ownership

Without clear roles per COBie field, gaps and duplicates go undetected until handover.
