Room data sheets are organized overviews that summarize the requirements for specific room types. They are usually developed during the briefing phase (or architectural programming in the US) of a design http://www.searchstreams.info/room-data-sheets-example-for-management/ and help clarify the requirements of the client in each type of space. They are used to create specifications that assist contractors and designers understand what is expected from each space and how they can ensure that a proposed solution fits the needs of the client.
Typically room data sheets are created by architects and other members of the design team, including engineers and interior designers. They are a work-in-progress process and could remain a ‘living document’ until a client has given their approval to the final architectural design. The information on the room sheets of data can be linked to the Revit model using a process known as backfilling. This method of verification can help to ensure that room data accurately reflects requirements in the final documents, and can also identify discrepancies.
The Room Data Sheets component in BriefBuilder allows you to easily create room data sheets and then use them to sync with the Revit model. It comes with a template set and pre-programmed select lists of electrical and structural disciplines, as well as HVAC and plumbing. It allows the insertions of graphic images and drawings in thumbnail size.
The component is easy to use and requires no special setup. It can load configurations that have been saved, which can reduce the time spent setting up. It permits properties such as size, browser organization, and the name of each view to be specified.
