Interactive BIM & IFC

Turn Your Building Model Into an Operational Interface

Future Decisions connects interactive 3D IFC models with live and historical building data.

Users can navigate the building, select spaces or assets, inspect performance, identify faults and report issues directly within the model — all through a standard web browser.

Spatial Context

See the Building, Not Just the Data

Traditional dashboards show lists, graphs and alarms. Our interactive BIM and IFC environment shows exactly where the equipment, space or problem is located within the building.

Select an asset or area to view:

  • Live BMS and sensor values
  • Historical performance and trends
  • Active alarms and detected faults
  • Asset information and documentation
  • Energy and environmental performance
  • Maintenance records and previous issues

Platform Integration

A Connected Operational Model

The IFC model becomes part of the Future Decisions Digital Building Platform rather than remaining a static design or handover file.

Explore

Navigate floors, rooms, systems and individual building components using an interactive browser-based 3D model.

Understand

Select an asset or space to access associated BMS points, sensors, meters, documents and performance data.

Act

Raise faults, add comments, record evidence, assign responsibility and track the issue through to resolution.

Fault Reporting in Context

Faults can be linked directly to the affected asset or location within the 3D model.

This gives engineers, operators and contractors a shared visual understanding of the problem without relying solely on equipment names, spreadsheets or written descriptions.

Data Integration

Live Building Data

Future Decisions can connect model objects to the full range of building data sources:

  • Building Management System points
  • Environmental and occupancy sensors
  • Energy and water meters
  • HVAC and plant equipment
  • Alarms and analytics
  • AI-detected faults and anomalies
  • Asset registers
  • Technical documents

Open Standards

Open and Vendor-Neutral

We use IFC to support an open and portable approach to building information.

IFC models can be connected to different BMS platforms, sensor systems, asset registers and operational data sources without making the building dependent on a single controls or BIM vendor. Where appropriate, BIM Collaboration Format can be used to exchange model-linked issues with compatible BIM and facilities-management systems.

Operational Value

From Static BIM to a Living Building Model

Most BIM models are created during design and construction but become difficult to access or maintain once the building enters operation.

Future Decisions extends the value of these models by connecting them to the building's ongoing operational data.

Digital Building Platform

Part of the Future Decisions Platform

BIM and IFC models work alongside:

  • Asset Browser
  • BMS and sensor data
  • Metering and utilities
  • Files and documentation
  • Fault and anomaly detection
  • Automated reporting
  • Building performance analysis
  • AI augmentation

This creates a common view of the building — connecting its physical spaces, operational systems, live data and engineering knowledge.
