From IFC to
production-ready orders.
How Dura Vermeer and door manufacturer Svedex use DAQS Elements to eliminate manual data transfer between contractor and factory — validated, structured, and ready for production.
The same problem on
both sides of the chain.
Ordering building products from a BIM model sounds straightforward. In practice, it isn't. The data that lives in a Revit model — specifications, dimensions, classifications, material codes — rarely arrives at a manufacturer in a form they can act on directly.
For Dura Vermeer, pre-purchase coordinators spend significant time manually checking IFC files, correcting missing or inconsistent data, and converting it into order formats their suppliers can work with. The model exists. The data exists. But getting it into the right shape for a specific manufacturer is manual, slow, and error-prone.
For Svedex, the challenge is the reverse. Orders arrive from contractors in different formats — drawings, Excel files, Revit models, IFC files, emails. Each format requires interpretation. Each interpretation introduces the risk of error. Production planning cannot start until the data is verified.
Neither party has a data problem in isolation. The problem is the gap between them — and the manual work that fills it on both sides.
IFC in. Order file out.
No manual steps in between.
Measurable impact
from the first project.
Elements is the second
application of the
DAQS platform.
What Dura Vermeer and Svedex are doing with doors is the same pattern DAQS enables across the entire supply chain — and across any downstream operational system. The Validate → Transform → Connect pipeline is not specific to ordering. It applies wherever BIM data needs to become operational data.
Doors were the first.
The network effect is the point.
The value of Elements grows with every manufacturer that connects their data requirements to the platform. Dura Vermeer's pre-purchase coordinators save time on every product category where a manufacturer has defined their rules.
Each new manufacturer added multiplies the benefit across all projects. Where the current saving is €53 per housing unit for doors, the same principle applied to windows, staircases, prefab concrete, and sanitary products extends that saving significantly — without additional development per product type.
This is the network effect that makes Elements more valuable over time — not just for Dura Vermeer, but for every contractor on the platform.
