dRofus: Better Twins Start with Better Data
dRofus captures and structures building information from planning through construction and operation. It builds and organizes that complete, reliable datalayer to enable real-time insights and predictive intelligence.
Meet dRofus: Your Building Data Management Platform
dRofus is a purpose-built requirements and data management platform for AEC professionals. It captures building programming, design requirements, asset specifications, and construction data in a structured, accessible format that travels seamlessly through the entire building lifecycle.
Core Functions:
-
Capture and maintain programming requirements from initial planning through design
-
Define and enforce consistent data protocols and asset identification
-
Automate asset tagging in accordance with your classification system of choice.
-
Seamlessly integrate with BIM tools (ArchiCAD, Revit) with bi-directional synchronization and support for the latest versions including Revit 2026 and ArchiCAD 26.
-
Comprehensive audit trails of all modifications, decisions, and approvals.
-
Validate and deliver complete, formatted data for operational systems.
-
Maintain structured data beyond construction into facility operations and ongoing management through dTwin.
With Complete Data: What Your Digital Twin Will Deliver
The combined power of the integrated solutions dRofus and dTwin brings scenarios to life that take building management to a new level.
Scenario 1: Maintenance That Works
With dRofus-provided asset specifications and baselines, dTwin as your master asset database and digital twin, your building operations become intelligent. models move from theoretical to practical. You predict failures because you understand exactly how systems should perform.
Potential Benefits:
- Reduction in maintenance-related downtime
- Reduction in emergency repairs
- Extended equipment life cycles
- Optimized maintenance staffing and scheduling
Scenario 2: Energy Optimization with Confidence
dTwin models energy consumption using complete, accurate system specifications. from dRofus. Optimization recommendations are grounded in real system design, not estimates.
Potential Benefits:
- Energy consumption reduction
- Improved sustainability performance
- Faster ROI on efficiency investments
- Automated ESG/sustainability reporting
Scenario 3: Regulatory Compliance Made Simple
dRofus maintains comprehensive audit trails that automatically generate compliance documentation. dTwin shows performance against specifications.
Potential Benefits:
- Audit-ready documentation generated automatically
- Evidence of compliance and performance
- Reduced compliance effort and cost
- Simplified regulatory reporting
Scenario 4: Data-Driven Capital Planning
Organizations managing multiple facilities use dRofus + dTwin to benchmark performance across properties and make data-informed investment decisions.
Potential Benefits:
- Objective basis for prioritizing capital investments
- Evidence-based ROI for facility improvements
- Optimized capital allocation across portfolio
Proven Results from Leading Organizations
Case Study 1: Glasblokkene Trinn 2 Hospital, Bergen, Norway
Helse Bergen HF implemented dRofus as the master asset database for the Glasblokkene Trinn 2 project—the largest construction project in the region for nearly 40 years. The 50,000 square meter children's hospital required centralized data management across all stakeholders from early planning through construction and into operations, with total investment costs of NOK 5.4 billion (approximately USD 661 million).
Project Details:
- Client: Helse Bergen HF
- Size: 50,000 m²
- Timeline: Phase 1 (2011-2016), Phase 2 (2017-2022), Occupancy August 2023
- Budget: NOK 5.4 billion (USD 661 million)
- Scope: Children's hospital including outpatient clinics, operating rooms, X-ray departments, intensive care units
Results:
- Golden Thread of Data: dRofus created a unified master asset database connecting all project data from early planning through design, engineering, construction, and into facility operations—providing a single source of truth across all project phases.
- No handover moving into operation! With dRofus dTwin as the master asset database also in operations, the hospital started the operation phase on the data and models created in the project.
- 100% Digital Delivery: The project was exclusively digital with no printed drawings used at any stage of construction. All documentation was delivered and controlled before work started on site, unlike traditional approaches where documentation is delivered after building completion
- Real-Time Project Visibility: Live cross-disciplinary dashboards built on dRofus data enabled all contractors, project leaders, and owner representatives to see exact construction progress at any time. Subcontractors could plan work more efficiently by seeing when other trades had finished
- Enhanced Collaboration: Contractors could create and update data within consultants' models—a unique feature that improved cross-discipline coordination. Teams could assign responsibilities for different element data, generate unique equipment IDs automatically, and update object status in real-time
- Complete FM Documentation: The master asset database delivered audit-ready, complete facility management documentation at project completion, planned for integration with FM and building control systems via API connections throughout the operational phase
- Cost Savings and Better Control: The data-first digital twin approach helped avoid data silos and resulted in significant cost savings, better project control throughout construction, and substantially improved outcomes for all stakeholders
Case Study 2: Auckland Airport
Airport operator used dRofus dTwin as "data normalization hub" to standardize information across 1,700 hectares and 170,000 square meters of facilities, supporting a $2 billion capital works program.

Results:
- 80% reduction in rework orders compared to non-openBIM projects
- 80% reduction in transportation costs through improved material ordering
- Final costs estimated at 10% below initial budget
- Winner of BuildingSMART International 2020 Award in Asset Management category
- Foundation for integrated Built Asset Information Management System
- Over 100 IFC models spanning various design disciplines
