View SIMBIM certificationsA centralised data backbone for building information
dRofus is space planning and requirements management software for managing building data across planning, design, construction, handover and operations. It centralises structured information such as rooms, requirements, equipment, documents, model links and non-geometric data so teams can work from a controlled source of truth.
What dRofus helps teams manage
Rooms and space data
Manage room data, areas, requirements, linked equipment and planning information in a structured environment.
Requirements and function data
Create and manage functional requirements, templates, room standards and equipment standards as reusable structured data.
Items, systems and equipment
Centralise equipment, product, system and occurrence data so planning, procurement, BIM and handover information can remain aligned.
Documents, reports and exports
Connect documents and reports to structured room, item and requirement data to support reviews, audits and stakeholder communication.
BIM integrations
Connect structured dRofus data with BIM tools and openBIM workflows where integrations and project configuration support it.
Lifecycle information
Support connected building information from early planning through handover and operations, with package and integration scope confirmed during proposal review.
Choose the right dRofus package path
dRofus package availability, module access, integrations and commercial terms are confirmed by SIMBIM during proposal review.
Standards

- Design and construction data capture
- Discipline coordination
- Reducing data decay between stages
FM Lite
Building owners and operators.
For teams preserving structured handover information and managing building assets after project delivery.
- Handover information
- Asset data
- Operational model access
- BIM/IFC and point-cloud visualisation where applicable
- Facility-management preparation
Enterprise
Government and large organisations.
For organisations standardising project delivery across portfolios and capturing structured lifecycle data for long-term governance and digital twin foundations.
- Portfolio standardisation
- Multi-project governance
- Lifecycle information management
- Audit trails
- Enterprise data backbone

Connect dRofus with BIM, CDE and digital building workflows
dRofus supports integrations with BIM authoring tools, openBIM/IFC exchange and Autodesk Construction Cloud. Specific availability, configuration and scope are confirmed during proposal review.
Integrations are not guaranteed in every package, region, tenant or version. SIMBIM confirms applicable integrations during proposal review. SIMBIM does not perform custom integration work unless separately scoped.
From project data to lifecycle intelligence
dRofus can support connected building information across planning, design, construction, handover and operations by preserving structured data, reducing information loss between project stages and creating a more reliable foundation for future asset management and digital twin workflows.
- Preserve structured project information
- Reduce data loss between stages
- Support handover readiness
- Connect to operations where configured
- Provide a foundation for digital twin workflows
dRofus needs workflow scoping before purchase
dRofus is a strong fit when teams need:
- Structured room and space planning
- Requirements management
- Equipment and item data control
- BIM-linked non-geometric information
- Reporting and data exports
- Portfolio or standards governance
- Owner/operator handover information
dRofus may not be the right starting point when teams need:
- Only basic file storage
- Only CAD drafting
- Only PDF markup
- Only lightweight task management
- Only a standalone BIM model viewer
- A no-setup / no-configuration tool
- Guaranteed automated compliance without data governance
Why evaluate dRofus through SIMBIM?
Workflow scoping before purchase
SIMBIM helps teams understand whether dRofus is needed for planning, project delivery, standards governance, FM handover, enterprise data management or lifecycle intelligence.
Package selection guidance
SIMBIM helps compare Standards, Planning, Project, FM Lite and Enterprise paths before committing to a package.
BIM information management expertise
SIMBIM connects dRofus evaluation to real BIM information requirements, room data, equipment data, handover needs and lifecycle workflows.
Proposal-led commercial process
SIMBIM confirms scope, seats, package fit and commercial conditions through a written proposal instead of immediate checkout.
Onboarding and adoption support
SIMBIM supports activation guidance, first-use orientation and adoption planning so teams start with a clearer data workflow.
ISO-aligned service discipline
SIMBIM holds organisation-level ISO 9001 and ISO 19650 certifications. These apply to SIMBIM as an organisation, not to dRofus software or to project deliverables. SIMBIM's workflow guidance is aligned with the principles of ISO 19650.
Pricing confirmed by SIMBIM proposal
SIMBIM confirms the appropriate dRofus package and final commercial terms in a written proposal. There is no immediate checkout.
- Final terms confirmed in SIMBIM proposal.
- No immediate checkout.
- Licence delivery after signed contract and payment confirmation.
- Availability varies by package, modules, licence conditions, integrations, project scope and region.
- Integration or API work may require separate scoping.
- dTwin-related capabilities may require separate scope, package or product confirmation.
