COBie Services

COBie stands for Construction Operations Building Information Exchange. It takes into consideration several formats including spreadsheet, IFC file format, and IFC XML for collecting building data during the design and construction phases. The stored digital information gets transferred to the operations and maintenance team during facility management. Using COBie integrated BIM facility management we capture and store project data at the point of origin, encompassing datasheet, equipment list, warranty, spare part, etc. Our BIM engineers use the data to support project operations, maintenance, and asset management.  We deliver COBie data drops as per client requirements, providing various services for validating, managing and delivering your construction project.

What is COBie used for?

COBie delivers consistent and structured asset information to the building owner or operator for decision-making at the post-occupancy stage. The technique is established by several US public agencies for enhancing effective handover to building owners.
