The Cost of the "old way of working"

That disconnect between the project program/client requirements and the design team's production model is costing firms in a range of ways 

 
Time:
  • Days spent managing countless spreadsheets listing requirements 
  • Days validating that the project requirements are being met 
  • Hours managing and issuing updated requirement schedules 
  • Hours managing scope creep
 
Money: 
  • Burning through thousands of dollars in fees on repetitive and time consuming tasks 
  • Developing in-house tools to try to bridge the disconnect

Stress: 
  • Not knowing if the requirements are being met 
  • Uncertainty of consultant's progress 

Freedom:
  • Being constrained by mundane tasks means less freedom to explore new ideas, technologies or interests

dRofus allows us to do quick project planning. I can develop a program and get a snapshot in 20 minutes of what a project will cost. What used to take days now takes minutes.

dRofus provided the database and functional structure to make the models very robust and created a single codebase that could be shared across both projects. Considering the projects’ large size and complexity, dRofus allows project teams to be optimized. Team members are able to focus on the important rather than the tedious.

dRofus was an excellent QA tool. Having the dRofus database linked to Revit gave us the ability to validate what should be drawn and track changes with the logs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What value does dRofus provide specifically for architects?

dRofus helps architects save time and reduce costs by replacing disconnected spreadsheets and manual data tasks with a single, centralized platform. It ensures owner requirements are met, automates repetitive work, supports project setup, and streamlines the production of deliverables so architects can focus on high-value design decisions.   

How does dRofus help ensure design meets client or owner requirements?

dRofus centralizes your project’s requirements and standards in one database that stays linked to your team’s workflows. This makes it easier to validate that the design aligns with owner expectations and requirements, avoiding costly rework and uncertainty about whether key criteria have been met. 

Can dRofus integrate with my existing design and BIM tools?

Yes. dRofus integrates with key AEC/O design tools and supports openBIM workflows. It offers bi-directional connections with platforms such as Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft Archicad, and IFC-based tools—letting you sync program data, design models, and project information seamlessly.  

What types of outputs and reports can architects generate with dRofus?

Architects can generate standard project outputs—such as equipment schedules, FF&E lists, room data sheets, custom reports, and real-time dashboards—quickly and consistently from live data rather than manually compiling information each time.  

How does dRofus improve collaboration within the project team?

By centralizing project data in a shared database, dRofus ensures all stakeholders—designers, engineers, contractors, and owners—work from the same up-to-date information. This reduces miscommunication, keeps teams aligned on requirements and changes, and supports a smoother BIM workflow across disciplines.
