Design Decisions That Prove Themselves
The Building Safety Act asks design teams the same question it asks everyone else: prove it. The DESIGN bundle (on the roadmap) is being built so model context, revisions, design discussions, and handover evidence live in one living record, anchored to the building.
UK-first, built for the Building Safety Act era: design evidence that stands up at Gateway 2 and beyond.
Three Demands Reach the Design Team Too
The Building Safety Act made design evidence a duty, not a courtesy. A record scattered across email chains, model files, and PDF issue sheets cannot answer it.
Prove the Design Decisions
Gateway 2 turns on design evidence: what was decided, by whom, and why. When the reasoning lives in email chains, the golden thread starts broken.
Prove Competence
Principal designers must show the skills, knowledge, experience, and behaviours behind the design work. Asserted competence is no longer enough; it has to be demonstrable.
Prove Carbon
Clients and tenders ask design teams for embodied carbon evidence earlier and earlier. Numbers detached from the evolving design go stale the day they are issued.
What the DESIGN Bundle Is Being Built To Do
The DESIGN bundle is on the roadmap, not live today. This is its direction: present design context clearly, review feedback, and protect handover evidence.
Review Model Context in the Browser
Planned capability: upload supported model files and review them in the browser, so design, consultant, and construction teams can use model context alongside documents and decisions.
- Web-native 3D viewing on any device
- Orbit, walk, and section review surfaces
- Model context alongside document revisions
- Controlled access through project permissions
Get Feedback, Not Confusion
Designed so clients and contractors annotate directly on your 3D models: see where questions arise and resolve them in context, not through endless email chains.
- 3D annotations pinned to model context
- Threaded discussions with full context
- Approval workflows for design sign-off
- Stakeholder access control and permissions
Every Version, Every Decision, Tracked
Planned capability: upload new designs with confidence, with versions tracked, status context preserved, and current versus superseded records easy to inspect.
- Version history for controlled uploads
- Visual comparison between versions
- Clear "current" vs "superseded" status
- Notifications when new versions are published
