Collab with BIMlink

The Dutch company BIMlink has developed a connection between BriefBuilder and BIMlink’s platform for the management of building information. By means of this connection, information from the construction client’s brief/program of requirements (as captured in BriefBuilder) can easily be integrated in the building’s central, online...

New tutorial: requirements analysis

We have extended the BriefBuilder knowledge base with an instruction video about BriefBuilder's requirements analysis feature. A simple but very useful feature.

We have just released our new adjacency diagram feature. Adjacency diagrams (aka “bubble diagrams”) are a key ingredient of any architectural program. In such diagrams, spaces or functions are represented as circles (“bubbles”) and their interrelations as lines. The purpose is to give the design...

Verification dashboard

As you probably already know, you can use BriefBuilder to systematically verify requirements and manage compliance in AEC projects. We have just developed a dashboard that gives you an clear, visual overview of all the verifications in your project, showing you for example how...
