Datum · BIM information assurance

Bring project information and BIM together.

Datum connects project information to where it is needed in the BIM model, shows what is missing, and helps your team complete missing information and review proposed updates before submission or handover.

  • BIM projects
  • IFC readiness
  • Asset and FM handover
The problem

Find missing BIM information before it becomes a submission problem.

Requirements sit in documents. The answers sit with project managers, consultants, suppliers and owners. The model sits with the BIM team. Keeping the three aligned is manual work, and gaps tend to surface late.

RequirementsClient standards, authority rules and handover specifications

Spread across documents, spreadsheets and email.

PeopleProject managers, consultants, suppliers and owners

Hold the answers, but do not work in the BIM software.

ModelThe BIM team

Chases information and checks the model by hand.

The result: gaps found at submission or handover, and no clear record of who supplied or changed what.

How Datum works

Four steps from requirement to verified update.

Datum links each requirement to the person who holds the answer and to the model information it applies to, then keeps every change reviewable.

  1. Step 1

    Capture requirements

    Set up client, authority and handover requirements once, as reusable profiles. Use them again on the next project.

  2. Step 2

    Check the model

    Datum compares the BIM model information against each profile and shows what is complete, missing or incorrect, by category and by item.

  3. Step 3

    Resolve information gaps

    Project managers, consultants and suppliers fill in what they know in Datum Studio, without needing BIM software. AI suggests values where the context supports them.

  4. Step 4

    Review and apply

    Every proposed change is reviewed before it is written to the model, and each update is recorded with who supplied it and when.

Capabilities

See what is complete, missing or awaiting review.

Datum helps identify missing or incomplete information, prepare proposed updates and explain what needs attention. Every proposed change remains available for human review before it reaches the model.
