No. DAQS transforms the model data to match your existing intake format. You define the specification — the fields, the values, the structure you already use — and DAQS maps to it. Your production system receives what it expects.

Receive order data that's
ready to process.
Construction projects generate the data you need to produce. The problem is how it reaches you — spreadsheets, PDFs, phone calls, emails. DAQS Elements connects validated BIM model data directly to your order intake, structured to your exact specification.

The problem
The data exists. It just doesn't reach you cleanly.
Every door, staircase, window frame, and structural element in a construction project lives in a BIM model. That model contains everything you need to produce an accurate order. What happens instead is manual extraction, reformatting, and re-entry — at every step.
✎
Manual handoff, manual errors
Project teams extract data from models, reformat it into spreadsheets or PDFs, and send it to you. Every step in that chain introduces opportunity for error, omission, and delay.
⚠︎
Incomplete or non-standard specifications
Data arrives in different formats from different contractors. Fields are missing, labelled differently, or interpreted incorrectly. Before production can start, someone has to interpret and verify.
⟳
Back-and-forth before the order is confirmed
Clarification requests, corrections, re-submissions. The cycle between receiving an order and being able to process it eats time on both sides — yours and the contractor's.
DAQS Elements
From validated model to production-ready order file.
Elements is the module that takes validated IFC data and generates order files in exactly the format your production system requires. The data is validated before it leaves the model. By the time it reaches you, it meets your specification.
What changes on your end
You define your order specification once — the fields, the format, the values you need. DAQS builds the transformation to match it. From that point on, orders arrive structured, complete, and ready to process. No manual interpretation required.
The contractor's model is validated against your requirements before the order file is generated. Data that doesn't meet specification doesn't pass through — it gets flagged and corrected at the source.
For Svedex, this means receiving validated door order files directly from Dura Vermeer's Revit models. The data is structured, complete, and production-ready on arrival.
Dura Vermeer & Svedex — live in production
Dura Vermeer uses DAQS Elements to generate validated door order files from Revit. Svedex receives those files directly — structured to their specification, no manual handling required. €53 per housing unit in confirmed savings, doors only.
The shift
What changes when data arrives validated
The difference isn't just fewer errors. It's a fundamentally different relationship between the model and your production process.
Before
Order arrives as a spreadsheet or PDF. Someone interprets it, checks it against your catalogue, asks clarifying questions. Production waits.
↓
After
Order file arrives structured to your specification. Fields mapped, values validated, format correct. Ready to process without interpretation.
Before
Errors surface when you process the order — missing dimensions, wrong product codes, ambiguous specifications. Back-and-forth delays production.
↓
After
Data that doesn't meet your specification is flagged and corrected in the model, before the order is generated. Errors don't reach your intake.
Before
Every contractor uses a slightly different format. Your intake team learns to handle each one. Scale means more variation, not less.
↓
After
One specification, regardless of contractor. DAQS handles the transformation. Your intake process is consistent across every project.
What Elements coversLive Next Next
Starting with doors. Expanding to every element.
The Validate → Transform → Connect pipeline applies to any building element that goes from model to manufacturer. Elements is live for doors and expanding systematically to the rest.
Doors
Validated door order files from Revit IFC. Live in production with Dura Vermeer and Svedex. Covers door types, dimensions, hardware, fire ratings, and all specification fields required for manufacture.
Staircases
Staircase specifications direct from model to manufacturer. Geometry, materials, load requirements — extracted, validated, and structured for production intake.
Window frames
Window and façade element data from BIM to fabrication. Eliminating the manual step between design intent and manufacturer specification.
Frequently asked
Questions from manufacturers
Do we need to change anything in our production system?
+
What if the contractor uses a different Revit setup or workflow?
+
The transformation happens on the DAQS side, not the contractor's. As long as the model data meets the validation rules, the output format is consistent regardless of how the contractor's Revit environment is configured. Variation in contractor workflow doesn't reach your intake.
How do we get connected — do we need to integrate our systems?
+
Integration depth depends on what you need. At minimum, DAQS Elements generates a structured order file that can be imported into your existing system. Deeper integrations — direct API connections to order platforms or ERP — are possible and are discussed during the introduction process.
What happens when the model data doesn't meet our specification?
+
The validation rules are defined upfront to match your requirements. Data that doesn't meet specification is flagged in DAQS Assist, visible to the engineer in Revit. It gets corrected at the source before the order file is generated. The error doesn't reach you.
Can multiple contractors send us orders through DAQS?
+
Yes. Each contractor connects independently through DAQS. All order files are generated to the same specification — your specification — regardless of which contractor produced the model. One consistent format, from every project.
