DnBOM

DnBOM platform

The AI Design-Build Operating Model for architecture and interiors.

DnBOM connects client briefs, model objects, specifications, cost, procurement, construction administration, and handover into one lifecycle object graph.

Live lifecycle object graph
Abstract lifecycle graph connecting building data
Selected object Open Office Lounge · Pendant Light P-03

Linked to room, product, CSI section, cost baseline, lead-time risk, and owner handover record.

The problem

Design intent still breaks across the handoffs that matter.

Teams do not lack software. They lack a shared lifecycle object graph across brief, model, specs, cost, procurement, site, and handover.

Signature homepage feature

One project object becomes a lifecycle record.

Click the workflow steps to see how DnBOM turns one project input into connected design-build data.

Project input

Client brief

“Open office lounge with pendant lighting, acoustic rug, lounge seating, and warm hospitality feel.”

  • Rooms and requirements detected
  • Adjacency and use intent extracted

Generated outputs

Structured brief record

DnBOM creates the first approved project object: room, intent, constraints, source, confidence, and review status.

AI confidence 92%

First killer workflow

Upload. Classify. Review. Schedule. Report.

The website leads with the first proof workflow while the app exposes all nine modules for forward-compatible refinement.

01

Upload Brief

RFPs, leases, notes, meeting transcripts, and client requirements become structured brief records.

02

Import Model

Revit, SketchUp, IFC, CSV, and XLSX object exports become model-element graph records.

03

AI Classify

AI agents classify objects, suggest CSI/IFC/OmniClass mappings, and flag missing fields.

04

Human Review

Professionals approve, edit, or reject AI recommendations before graph write-back.

05

Live Schedules

FF&E, finishes, lighting, equipment, door/hardware, cost, and procurement schedules stay linked.

06

Handover Graph

Warranty, O&M, COBie-style fields, owner asset records, and closeout gaps are seeded early.

All platform modules open

One lifecycle graph across all nine DnBOM modules.

Each module is visible in this version so the team can refine the full platform direction without hiding future scope.

01Feasibility Agent

Property & Space Due Diligence

Early project viability is scattered across leases, property records, code notes, site constraints, and owner assumptions.

  • summarize lease/RFP constraints
  • extract address and site facts
  • flag occupancy/use risks
02Brief Agent

AI Brief & Program Builder

Client requirements live in notes, emails, RFPs, leases, PDFs, and meeting transcripts, causing scope gaps and re-entry.

  • extract client requirements
  • generate room/area program
  • infer adjacency requirements
03Planning Agent

AI Test Fit & Concept Planning

Teams need fast options but current test fits rarely preserve structured data for downstream specs, cost, and handover.

  • generate layout options
  • score options by area/cost/code risk
  • check adjacency logic
04BIM Classifier Agent

BIM & Model Intelligence

Revit/SketchUp models often lack consistent classification, metadata, and downstream procurement/handover readiness.

  • ingest Revit/SketchUp/IFC objects
  • classify elements
  • map to IFC/CSI/OmniClass
05Spec Agent

Specs, FF&E & Product Library

Specification and FF&E information is manually assembled from models, supplier websites, PDFs, and spreadsheets.

  • generate FF&E/finish/lighting schedules
  • extract product data
  • map specs to model objects
06Cost Agent

Cost, Quantity & Value Engineering

Cost impact is not visible quickly enough when design or specification changes happen.

  • create baseline quantities
  • map costs to UniFormat/MasterFormat
  • compare option costs
07Procurement Agent

Procurement, Submittals & Supplier Portal

Approved design choices do not reliably flow into RFQs, submittals, POs, delivery tracking, and substitution decisions.

  • draft RFQs
  • compare supplier quotes
  • summarize submittals
08Construction Agent

Construction Administration & Field Control

RFIs, field issues, photos, submittals, and changes are disconnected from the model/spec/cost context.

  • summarize RFIs
  • link field issues to rooms/elements/specs
  • draft response options
09Handover Agent

Closeout, COBie & Owner Asset Graph

Owners often receive weak asset data, scattered O&M documents, and incomplete warranties at closeout.

  • extract O&M data
  • parse warranties
  • create asset register

Trust layer

AI proposes. Professionals approve.

DnBOM does not let AI silently overwrite professional project data. Every high-risk recommendation has a source, confidence score, linked object, and approval status.

Specialist agents

AI agents write to the same graph instead of isolated files.

Each agent is scoped to a design-build workflow and supports extraction, classification, validation, recommendation, drafting, and proposed graph updates.

Feasibility

Feasibility Agent

Summarizes property, lease, site, and early feasibility risks.

Brief

Brief Agent

Extracts requirements and creates room programs and adjacency logic.

Planning

Planning Agent

Generates and scores test-fit/concept options.

BIM

BIM Classifier Agent

Classifies Revit/SketchUp/IFC model objects and validates metadata.

Spec

Spec Agent

Creates specs, FF&E, finish, lighting, and product schedules.

Cost

Cost Agent

Estimates costs, quantities, deltas, and VE alternates.

Compliance

Compliance Agent

Checks information completeness and compliance-aware checklists.

Procurement

Procurement Agent

Drafts RFQs, compares quotes, and flags lead-time risks.

Construction

Construction Agent

Links RFIs, issues, photos, submittals, and changes to graph context.

Handover

Handover Agent

Creates owner asset, warranty, O&M, and COBie-style records.

Knowledge

Knowledge Agent

Answers questions across project graph and documents with sources.

U.S. architecture and interiors

Built for Revit, SketchUp, CSI, IFC, COBie, and owner-ready handover.

DnBOM integrates before it replaces: authoring tools on one side, construction and owner systems on the other, and a shared lifecycle graph in the middle.

Design partner pilot

Bring one real project. We’ll map the data spine.

Process one project through brief extraction, model/object classification, live schedule generation, cost/procurement seeding, and pilot reporting.

Pilot requests are sent to DnBOM. We’ll follow up with app foundation preview access when your pilot is ready.
