The problem it solves

Getting usable data out of a 3D building model usually means exporting it and then manually cleaning up the spreadsheet before anyone can work with it. That prep work has to happen before any real analysis or cost estimating can begin.

Who it fits

Construction and engineering teams that need building model data in a clean, structured spreadsheet format.

How it works

  1. You provide the location of your building model file
  2. The converter tool exports the model to an Excel workbook
  3. The system checks that the export completed successfully
  4. The workbook is read and turned into structured data rows, ready for further processing
What you get

Structured rows ready to feed your other tools

You get your building model data converted into clean, structured spreadsheet rows that are ready to plug into your other systems.

What you get

A structured Excel workbook of building model data, ready for cost estimating or analysis.

What you need

A Windows computer with the Revit export toolkit installed.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
