Eliminate Design Risk by Validating Requirements at Every Stage

Improve Design Validation Graphic

Building projects are inherently complex.

They involve thousands of requirements, multiple disciplines, evolving regulations, and countless design decisions—often managed across disconnected tools and documents. This fragmentation introduces risk: missed requirements, late changes, rework, and costly compliance gaps.

dRofus improves design validation by embedding requirements directly into the planning and design process,
allowing teams to verify alignment continuously—not just at the end.

The result: fewer surprises, stronger governance, and designs that meet owner intent the first time.

6 Ways dRofus Empowers Owners and Project Teams


1
Project Consistency
Deliver Reliable Results
Across Every Project

Ensure approved design requirements are applied consistently from early planning through final delivery, preserving design intent across teams and projects.
2
Requirements Clarity
Establish a Shared
Understanding of Requirements

Utilize a structured view of requirements for all stakeholders to design against the same validated expectations, eliminating any guesswork.

 
3
Early Risk Detection
Detect Design Gaps
Before They Become Issues

Identify requirement misalignment early, reducing downstream risk, rework, and costly late-stage changes.
4
Design Traceability

Track Change Management
With Confidence
Maintain a clear record of changes and quickly understand when they were made, by whom and why. Support accountability, compliance and project governance.
5
Faster Delivery

Move Designs Forward
Without Rework Delays
Enable continuous design validation that helps teams maintain progress while minimizing risk and the potential for schedule disruption.
6
Continuous Improvement

Improve Standards Using
Real Project Data
Capture validation insights across projects that enable organizations to refine requirements and improve outcomes over time.

Improving Design Validation:
How DBM Vircon Validated
Complex Design Data for
Queen’s Wharf Brisbane

 

Queen’s Wharf Brisbane, a large-scale integrated resort and entertainment precinct, required rigorous validation of design and asset data across multiple BIM authoring tools, interfaces, and project stages. With thousands of requirements, room types, and asset information sets to manage, DBM Vircon implemented dRofus to validate design data, eliminate inconsistencies, and ensure confidence in downstream COBie and FM deliverables—despite joining the project late in the design phase.

DBM Vircon Leveraged dRofus By:

  • Validating room, asset, and serviceable item requirements across multiple Revit and Archicad models, ensuring design data aligned with defined expectations before export and handover.

  • Consolidating and verifying data from disparate sources into a single source of truth, reducing reliance on manual spreadsheet checks and minimizing the risk of incomplete or conflicting information.

  • Testing and confirming COBie and Asset Information Requirements during design, allowing the team to validate FM data structures years before operations and avoid false assumptions later in the project lifecycle.

What Our Customers Say

Queen's Wharf is a flagship project for DBM Vircon, pulling together a key team of highly skilled digital engineers to deliver a complex project with multiple interfaces, stages, programs, software and teams. This allowed DBM Vircon to develop an integrated model that is already being tested in operations, some 4 years before delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is design validation in building projects?

Design validation is the process of confirming that design decisions align with approved requirements, standards, and regulations during each stage of a project, ensuring that throughout planning and design, ensuring owner intent is met before construction begins.

How does dRofus support design validation?

dRofus enables teams to define, manage, and validate building requirements in a centralized system, allowing designs to be reviewed against approved standards continuously as they evolve.

What types of requirements can be validated using dRofus?

dRofus supports validation of room data, spatial requirements, equipment, building systems, regulatory standards, and asset information requirements across the project lifecycle.

How does design validation reduce project risk?

Design validation allows teams to confirm alignment with approved requirements early and continuously, minimizing late-stage changes, rework, and uncertainty across complex, multi-disciplinary projects.

Who benefits most from improved design validation?

While all parties stand to gain, owners can be rest assured that their projects are being designed to meet their specific requirements while contractors can worry less about having to interpret unclear specifications which may lead to change orders and project delays.
