IFC
Model and data exchange
Industry Foundation Classes
Exchange structured geometry, assets, spaces, systems, relationships and properties independently of authoring software.
Open standards and openBIM
Building information without the lock-in.
Oporo uses open industry standards to connect requirements, models, issues and handover data across disciplines, software platforms and the building lifecycle.
Connected formats
A shared language for the asset lifecycle.
Each standard handles a different part of information delivery. Together, they create a practical route from requirements to operations.
BCF
Issue coordination
BIM Collaboration Format
Share issues, viewpoints, comments, responsibilities and status without passing complete model files between teams.
IDS
Machine-readable requirements
Information Delivery Specification
Define which objects, classifications, properties and values an IFC delivery must contain, then validate them consistently.
IE
Structured data exports
Information Exchange
Export structured project data for exchange with downstream delivery, reporting and operational workflows.
ISO
Document conventions
ISO 19650
Apply ISO 19650-style naming, revision, suitability and review conventions to project documents.
Open workflow
Information that can move and still make sense.
Open exchange lets each participant use appropriate tools while maintaining a connected, verifiable information record.
- 01SpecifyExpress delivery requirements in a clear, exchangeable form.
- 02AuthorLet teams create information in the tools best suited to their work.
- 03ExchangeMove models, requirements and issues through open formats.
- 04ValidateCheck structure and information quality against agreed rules.
- 05ReuseKeep accepted data accessible for handover and operations.
Why open matters
Control the information, not the toolchain.
Open standards support reliable collaboration today and keep building information accessible tomorrow.
+
Software independence
Keep project information usable beyond a single vendor, licence or authoring environment.
+
Structured exchange
Move data with its relationships and meaning intact, rather than relying on disconnected documents.
+
Machine-readable rules
Turn written requirements into checks that can be repeated across submissions and revisions.
+
Traceable coordination
Connect issues and decisions to model objects without duplicating the entire model.
+
Consistent semantics
Use shared classifications and definitions to reduce ambiguity between disciplines and systems.
+
Long-term accessibility
Create information records that remain practical throughout handover and building operation.
