free standalone offline plugin for working with CAD (BIM) data

Excel Add-in to work with RVT | DWG | IFC

The DDC Excel plugin lets users open and process CAD (BIM) files directly in Excel, eliminating the need for specialized software. It's perfect for small to medium projects (200-400 MB files), while larger datasets are better handled with tools like Jupyter Notebook, Pandas and LLM for advanced analytics.

 

Minimum Requirements:
◾️ Windows 10 64bit or Windows 11
◾️ Microsoft Office 32 bit or 64 bit (2013 or Later) or MS Office 365

Functional applications available in the DataDrivenConstruction plugin for Excel

Data Validation, Quantity Take-Off (QTO), Data Grouping, Parameter Manipulation
and Visualization of CAD (BIM) Data Directly in Microsoft Excel®

DataDrivenConstruction Converter converts Revit®, AutoCAD, and IFC files into XLSX and DAE formats, enabling structured data extraction from design projects. It works offline, ensuring security and reliability, and integrates directly with Microsoft Excel®, allowing users to manage drawings and 3D models within a single spreadsheet.

Structured Data is ideal source

for today's processing and analytics tools

Structured data, organized in columns and rows, has become the backbone of modern storage and analysis systems due to its orderliness and ease of processing.  For example, only one Pandas library, which works with the DataFrame data format, is downloaded about 12 million times a day. Due to its popularity and ease of use, DataFrame (column based Data) has become the primary format for processing and automating data in ChatGPT, LLaMa and other LLM tools. Modern LLMs and data analytics tools almost always default to Python and Pandas for tasks such as data validation, analysis, visualization, and processing.

LLM becomes an assistant in validation, analytics and automation

CHATGPT ON CAD (BIM) DATA

Revit®, IFC, DGN, and DWG models are created by one specialist, but dozens rely on their data. Optimizing data flow is crucial, and tools like ChatGPT can streamline this process. The DataDrivenConstruction converter and LLMs automate data handling, reducing manual work and boosting efficiency in CAD (BIM) projects.

Building the Future of Construction Data Management

DataDrivenConstruction Workshop

 

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, interoperability, data processing, data mining and process automation are no longer optional - they are simply essential. Our approach is built on two essential pillars: theory and practice, both tailored to the unique needs of each company.

Theory

We cover key topics and trends that are directly relevant to your organization. This isn’t dry, academic theory—it’s a clear, fact-based understanding of current trends, combined with practical insights on how to address them in real-world scenarios.

Practice

We can also move into practical application as needed. Using modern tools and techniques, we demonstrate how to solve data-related problems efficiently and effectively. The knowledge gained is immediately applied to real-world problems.

 

 Key Topics We Cover

  • Data Mining: Extracting usable data from PDFs, Excel files, images, and other sources.
  • BIM and CAD: Gaining insights from RVT, IFC, DWG, and other file formats.
  • Data Quality: Ensuring your data is accurate, complete, and ready for automation.
  • Analytics and Transformation: Turning raw data into actionable insights and strategic ideas.
  • Systems Integration: Embedding data into workflows, databases, and documents to maximize efficiency.

Every step of the way, we discuss your real-world challenges, uncovering issues and opportunities specific to your team and organization. This personalized approach ensures that the training is directly relevant to your needs and immediately applicable to your work.
