Most civil design files are basically data prisons. Loads of useful info—alignments, surfaces, quantities—just sitting there, locked inside formats that were never meant to play nice with anything outside their original software.I’ve wasted way too much time trying to answer simple questions like 'how many manholes are in this job?' or 'what’s the volume by phase?'—only to find out the data’s buried five layers deep in a DWG or DGN. DataDrivenConstruction fixes that. Their converters crack open these closed formats and give you structured data you can actually use—in Power BI, in Excel, or even in an LLM prompt if you're doing something fancy.It's not flashy, but it’s insanely useful. If you’re trying to move beyond screenshots and PDFs and actually use your design data, this is the kind of tool that makes it possible. It’s the difference between guessing and knowing. And honestly, it’s saved me more than a few Saturday mornings.
We don’t teach tools — we show how to think in data and processes

Revit and IFC reports that used to take me almost weeks to create are now updated in just a few minutes. I was able to quickly understand what the DataDrivenConstruction did and thus extend and modify it to fit projects.The DataDrivenConstruction team showed me examples of blocks and scripts that can automatically generate PDF, XLSX, and DOCX files that mark errors/defects in the model. Additionally, we also now do automatic checks for IFC structure, file naming, etc.

As a data scientist, I use data every day in every topic and field and think that data can appear in one format to make it easier to use and explore. After I tried the DDC converter, it became the only solution for me to manage and convert all BIM documents. Thanks to DataDrivenConstruction, I can now work with all IFC and Revit files automatically without having to upload files to the server.

Great experience: Until now, I used to open IFC files in Blocknote to check the parameters and their structure. Thanks to the DataDrivenConstruction converter I can check the parameters and see their structure directly in MS Excel in an orderly and SMART way, amazing!
