01
Structured requirements
Define the information required for assets, systems and spaces in a consistent specification teams can understand and use.
Specification and verification
Make information requirements testable.
Define what project teams must deliver, validate IFC information against those requirements and create clear evidence of what passes, fails or remains incomplete.
IDS Specification Builder
Powerful tools to build IDS specifications.
Turn established templates and live asset schedules into precise, machine-readable information requirements without assembling IDS XML by hand.
- Import reusable class-level specification templates
- Create object-specific requirements from asset schedules
- Combine sources and identify conflicting requirements
- Review applicability, cardinality, data types and accepted values
- Generate and download consolidated buildingSMART IDS XML

Verification capabilities
From written requirements to measurable results.
Oporo connects specification and validation so every result can be traced back to what the project requested.
02
Workbook import
Bring existing project information requirements into Oporo from structured workbooks without rebuilding them by hand.
03
IDS Specification Builder
Build, combine and review Information Delivery Specifications from class templates, asset schedules and existing IDS files.
04
IFC data validation
Check model objects, properties and values against the requirements that apply to each asset or space type.
05
Actionable results
See passed, failed and missing information at requirement level so delivery teams know exactly what needs attention.
06
Verification history
Retain results across model revisions to demonstrate progress and preserve a traceable record for assurance and handover.
Connected workflow
A continuous route from requirement to assurance.
Specifications remain connected to validation outcomes, giving teams a defensible information-quality record across every revision.
