Layer
Layer is a collaborative platform that empowers building teams to capture, organize, and access rich building data within their BIM workflows. It replaces traditional spreadsheets and disorganized files with a centralized system for managing various data types, including room data sheets, surveys, inspections, RFIs, and meeting minutes, all linked directly to the building model.
Layer facilitates real-time collaboration, allowing team members to share data, markups, and files efficiently, while its direct Revit integration streamlines data access and editing. With customizable workflows and mobile accessibility, Layer helps architects, engineers, contractors, and owners improve data management, enhance collaboration, increase efficiency, and reduce errors throughout the building lifecycle.

What is Layer used for?
Layer is used to improve how building teams manage and work with data throughout the lifecycle of a building project. Here's a breakdown of its key uses:
Centralized Data Management:
Instead of scattered spreadsheets, emails, and file folders, Layer provides a single source of truth for all building-related information. This includes everything from room finish schedules and equipment specifications to inspection reports, RFIs (Requests for Information), and meeting minutes. Having all this data in one place makes it easier to find, access, and manage.
Streamlined Collaboration:
Layer facilitates real-time collaboration among project stakeholders. Team members can share data, markups, and files, ensuring everyone is on the same page. This eliminates confusion caused by outdated or conflicting information and improves communication efficiency.
BIM Integration:
A crucial feature of Layer is its integration with BIM software like Revit. This allows teams to link building data directly to the 3D model, making it easier to visualize and understand the information in context. Changes to the model can automatically update the associated data, and vice versa, ensuring data consistency.
Improved Data Accuracy:
By centralizing data and linking it to the BIM model, Layer helps reduce errors and inconsistencies. Data validation tools and customizable workflows help ensure that information is entered correctly and that everyone is working with the most up-to-date data.
Enhanced Efficiency:
Layer streamlines many common building project workflows. For example, creating room data sheets, conducting site inspections, or managing RFIs can all be done more efficiently using Layer's platform. This saves time and reduces the administrative burden on project teams.
Better Decision-Making:
With easy access to accurate and up-to-date building data, project teams can make better informed decisions. They can quickly analyze information, identify potential problems, and evaluate different options, leading to improved project outcomes.
Improved Project Outcomes:
Ultimately, Layer aims to improve the overall quality and efficiency of building projects. By improving data management, collaboration, and decision-making, Layer helps teams deliver projects on time and within budget, while also minimizing errors and rework.
Layer helps building professionals work smarter, not harder, by providing them with the tools they need to effectively manage and utilize building data throughout the project lifecycle.
