Helping to produce Room Data Sheets and manage asset databases for your building projects.
Software
We’ve been developing software for the built environment for more than 15 years. eRDS Cloud provides a structured, centralised database for room data sheets and asset information, supporting all project types and every stage of the construction lifecycle.
Service
Our team has decades of experience in the construction industry. Whether a client needs a turnkey solution for project handover, targeted software training, or the conversion of COBie data into a structured database and room data sheets, we have the skills and resources to deliver.
Designed for construction, handover and onwards into operations
Our cloud-based asset database adds value and improves information visibility to all project stages from the design phase, through construction & fit-out, handover, and onwards into facilities management. We provide stakeholders with information on every aspect of a project and its infrastructure.
Room Data Sheets and reports generated from a multi-user cloud database
eRDS produces Room Data Sheets and excel reports from a comprehensive asset database.
Organised around a library containing user defined assets and those imported from BIM
Each room has six sets of information, Room Details, Finishes, Fittings, Mechanical Components, Room Specifications and Documents
Comprehensive building information in a searchable asset database
eRDS keeps track of every asset and finish inside and outside a building, along with all project documentation, to support efficient handover and well-organised operations.
Details
eRDS displays the key properties and dimensions for each room or space together with other information such as zone, occupancy, department, or any user defined fields required by the project team.
Mechanical Components
These include diffusers, dampers & grilles from the HVAC system and anything connected to the plumbing & heating system such as boilers, pumps, radiators, valves, and WC’s. All electrical assets including controllers, power sockets & fused spurs, lights, PIR, switches, data & TV sockets are accounted for.
Fittings
The fittings database includes all furniture, fittings, and equipment such as kitchen units, white goods, and appliances. Doors & windows, their closures, and ironmongery are recorded. Other assets include everything on the security system such as CCTV cameras and electronic entry systems.
Room Specification
We provide high level information for each room including its environmental design requirements, lighting, data, security, and specialist systems information, as well as the method of heating and cooling and any provision for hot and cold water.
Drawings & Documents
Design drawings for all disciplines are available at the floor level whilst ·c· sheets are linked to individual rooms. Asset documents such as catalogues, data sheets and maintenance manuals are linked to the assets and ‘instance’ documents such as in-situ photos and checklists are linked to individual assets.
Reporting Room Data
All or any part of the room data can be exported to Excel for further analysis or saved as traditional PDF room data sheets. Comprehensive asset information can be exported to Revit through our plugin to enrich the models with a level of detail that’s rarely, if ever, found in BIM.
Heatlthcare Projects
eRDS is particularly e0ective in assisting Asset Managers overseeing hospitals constructed under PFI schemes, where maintaining accurate, up-to-date asset information is critical.
Updating legacy healthcare information
Many hospitals built within the last 20 years, including large estates with over 12,000 rooms, are now undergoing refurbishment and maintenance. Their Room Data Sheets remain in paper-based PDF form, making them outdated, inaccurate, and diEicult to update.
Legacy PDF Room Data Sheet information is digitised and imported into eRDS to create a baseline for verifying the assets currently in situ. Operations and Asset Managers use the system to compare installed room assets against the original Room Data Sheets and make the necessary updates to reflect the true as-built condition. After the database is fully updated, eRDS produces a new, accurate set of Room Data Sheets that can be uploaded into BIM-enabled FM platforms to support ongoing facilities management.
Types of Project
Our software can be used across several industry sectors and on any sized process plant or AEC project.
New Construction
With BIM now standard across new-build construction, eRDS provides a powerful Revit plugin that enables seamless bi-directional data exchange between the model and the cloud database. The system is flexible enough to support everything from single homes to large, complex developments in both public and private sectors.
Existing Buildings
eRDS Cloud is purpose-built to generate accurate building information for existing real estate, supporting eEective management, maintenance, and refurbishment. By using eRDS, existing buildings can achieve a level of asset data quality and completeness comparable to that of new developments designed using BIM.
Scan to As-Built
eRDS has the unique capability to add intelligence to the geometrically accurate 3D models produced from laser-scan surveys. These models can be enriched with information from the eRDS database that scanning alone cannot capture. As-built asset information is defined in eRDS, from which Room Data Sheets can be generated. This asset data is then written back into the 3D model as new Revit parameters applied to FM placeholders.
Benefits We Deliver
Central Source of Information
Owners have the tools to drive down operations & maintenance costs and the information needed for effective facility management.
Better Collaboration
Our on line sohware enables project teams to share information and take decisions with the certainty that everyone is working from the same data set.
COBie
eRDS delivers a more comprehensive and higher quality COBie data set than is possible using the standard MS excel method.
Structured Workflows
Our easy-to-use software takes a systematic approach to creating an asset database and capturing as-built information in a multiuser collaborative environment
Fast Document Retrieval
eRDS enables users to quickly access project drawings and asset documentation which can save thousands of hours during construction & operations.
Improved BIM Models
eRDS provides the tools to enrich any kind of BIM with valuable room data, asset information and gee-referenced asset codes.
