IDS compliance — turn BIM requirements into repeatable checks

Translate useful project requirements into machine-readable rules and verify them against IFC exports without relying only on manual review.

By Winter Fernandes · Updated 5 August 2026

From requirement to check

Text requirements often leave room for interpretation. IDS can make selected information requirements explicit: affected IFC class, property, location and expected value or pattern.

A realistic scope

Start with information that supports a real project use.
Test rules on sample exports before broad deployment.
Document software/export conventions that affect results.
Separate machine-verifiable requirements from professional judgement.

What the report explains

A useful IDS report distinguishes missing properties, incorrect values, unexpected IFC classes and requirements that need clarification rather than simply showing pass or fail.

Frequently asked questions

What can IDS verify?

Primarily machine-readable information requirements such as IFC applicability, properties and accepted values or patterns.

Does IDS replace BIM quality review?

No. It automates a defined subset of information checks; professional and project-specific review still matters.

Can an existing requirement document be converted?

Yes, after identifying which clauses are precise enough to become verifiable rules.
