Asset inspection for BIM projects

Inspected as it's built.

WhatsBuilt turns your IFC model into an asset register for the site. Scan the label on an element, work through its checks, and the record stays with the right element. In the phone browser, online or not.

01  Upload the model

Elements become assets.

Upload an IFC file. The model's physical elements land in the register with their GlobalId, IFC class, type and storey, straight from the model, and a precast unit comes in as one element. Nothing is typed in by hand.

02  Label every asset

A label any phone can read.

Print QR labels straight from the register. They follow GS1 Digital Link, so any phone camera can scan them, and with your GS1 company prefix each one carries a permanent GIAI.

03  Inspect on site

Every step, on the phone.

Scan the label and the checks for that element type are ready. Mark each step passed or failed and add photos. Results are saved without signal and sync when you're back in range.

04  Hand over the evidence

Evidence your BIM tools can read.

Every inspection step is recorded as a timestamped BCF 3.0 topic. Open them in any BCF-compliant tool, or export the register and its inspections as CSV.

The whole inspection, in the field.

No paper and no laptop. This is how one element gets inspected, from the label on the wall to the record in the register.

Nothing to install, nothing locked in.

WhatsBuilt runs in the browser, brings people from other companies into the project and plugs into your organisation's sign-in. Your data leaves in open formats.

Phone

In the browser

Nothing to install from an app store. The label opens with the phone's own camera, and the inspection runs in the phone browser once you're signed in.

Project

Other companies on board

The owning company's admin adds a subcontractor's or factory's user to the project by email and picks the role. They need a WhatsBuilt user account; there is nothing to install.

Sign-in

Single sign-on

SAML 2.0 single sign-on with your organisation's identity provider. Your admin turns it on in the app.

Data

Your data in open formats

A project admin exports the register, inspections and issues as CSV and BCF 3.0. Nothing stays locked in our system.

From factory to site.

The same element and the same label travel from the model through the factory to the site and the handover. Steps marked Coming are not in the app yet.

  1. 01

    Model

    The model's elements land in the register. A precast unit is one element, not a pile of parts.

  2. 02

    Labels at the factory

    A factory user finds elements by an IFC property and prints their QR labels from the browser.

  3. 03

    Production tracking

    Coming

    Each element's stages at the factory.

  4. 04

    Transport and delivery

    Coming

    Deliveries and receipt on site.

  5. 05

    Install and inspect

    On site, scan the label and work through the checks on the phone.

  6. 06

    Handover

    The register and inspection records are handed over as CSV and BCF.

Built on standards, not lock-in.

Your model, your labels and your inspection records stay in open formats the rest of the industry already reads.

Model

IFC4

Physical elements are imported with their GlobalId, IFC class, type and storey. Nothing is retyped, nothing is guessed.

Inspection records

BCF 3.0

Every inspection step becomes a topic under the buildingSMART standard, available through the BCF REST API and exported as BCF XML.

Identity

GS1 Digital Link

With your GS1 company prefix, labels carry a GIAI and resolve at qr.whatsbuilt.fi/8004/…, so every system that reads GS1 sees the same identifier.

Field

Offline first

Download the project with “Download for site” before you go. Labels, checklists, results and comments stay in a database on the phone until there is signal again. Then it syncs. Photos need a connection.

The questions we get on site.

Inspection tools let you down in three places: the seventh floor, the coordination meeting and the handover. Here is how WhatsBuilt handles each.

“There’s no signal on the seventh floor.”

There doesn’t need to be. Download the project before you head up, and the labels and checklists are on the phone. Results and comments wait there and sync when you’re back in range. Nothing is lost and nothing is entered twice.

“We already coordinate in BIM tools.”

Good. WhatsBuilt speaks BCF 3.0, so every inspection result opens as a topic in any BCF-compliant tool. The site and the model stay in one conversation.

“What happens after handover?”

The label stays on the element and keeps pointing to it. The register and the inspection records export as CSV and BCF, so the evidence leaves with the building instead of staying locked in our system.
