dRofus

Overview

dRofus is a cloud-based building data management platform that connects Archicad to a single source of truth for all project information. By synchronizing room data, program requirements, and design models in real time, dRofus ensures that what is planned matches what is designed and built — across every phase of the project lifecycle.

Key Capabilities

• Bi-directional sync between dRofus and Archicad: link zones, spaces, and rooms directly to live program requirements and validate design decisions against approved standards.
• Centralized room data management: define and manage room data sheets, equipment lists, and functional requirements in one structured environment accessible to all project stakeholders.
• Real-time design validation: instantly compare Archicad model data against program requirements, catching errors and deviations before they reach construction.
• Lifecycle data continuity: capture structured data from early planning through design, construction, and handover — ensuring nothing is lost between project phases.
• Multi-stakeholder collaboration: give architects, owners, engineers, and contractors role-based access to the same live data environment, eliminating silos and reducing miscommunication.

Who It's For

dRofus is built for AEC professionals working on complex, data-intensive projects. Enterprise architects managing design standards across multiple buildings, repeat building delivery organizations enforcing consistent requirements across portfolios, and project-based contractors working within collaborative delivery models all rely on dRofus to stay aligned from concept to completion.

Typical Workflows

1. Define room and space requirements in dRofus during early planning.
2. Link Archicad zones and elements to dRofus rooms for live synchronization.
3. Validate design models against program requirements in real time within Archicad.
4. Update requirements in dRofus and automatically reflect changes across the design model.
5. Deliver structured, accurate as-built data at project handover to support facility operations.

dRofus eliminates the gap between design intent and built reality — helping teams
