BriefBuilder An online tool for total quality management
Benefits
Better briefing Create a brief that is clear, consistent and
complete
Collaboration Collaborate online and track
questions / remarks
Cost control Indicate cost drivers, avoid unnecessarily
expensive requirements
Quality control Make sure you get what you want by systematic quality
control
Risk reduction Identify quality risks, and manage them throughout
the project
Re-use knowledge Create a knowledge base
that can easily be applied in other projects
(2) Communicating specifications
Easy & hassle-free BriefBuilder is fully online. No software needed.
Not just briefing but overall quality management
Strategic briefProject objectives and basic principles
(à input for design/idea competition)
Functional brief
Needed spaces + functional specs
Technical briefSpecs for indoor climate + components
(à input for D&B / DBM tender)
Quality testing / verificationDevelop test plan, capture test outcomes
and test reports
Furniture briefFurniture types + specs
(à input for furniture tender)
Facility management briefSpecs for FM services (e.g. cleaning)
(à input for FM tenders)
Manage changes
CONCEIVE DESIGN BUILD USE

Easy to use browse, click and type
To use BriefBuilder you don’t need to know anything about software. Just browse, click & type.
(2) Communicating specifications
Connect requirements with design solutions
With systematic briefing data, you ensure a systematic start of the design process. By importing and exporting data, you can compare requirements to design solutions.
Next: some screendumps (Just examples. Exact structure is tailored to your needs)
Online access Your project gets a project-specific web address from where you can access the model.
Different roles Different team members get different types of user accounts (e.g. ‘viewer’, ‘editor’) depending on their role in the project.
(2) Communicating specifications
Topics Here you can find the different topics of the brief (e.g. spaces, indoor climate, …). The topics can easily be adapted to your project.
Objectives and basic principles Unlike other tools, BriefBuilder also captures the ambitions, basic principles, and objectives behind the brief (e.g. ambitions concerning the overall architecture, culture, sustainability, budget etc.).
(2) Communicating specifications
Spaces Spatial requirements are often the backbone of the brief. In BriefBuilder, you can easily make a breakdown of all needed spaces. You can start with a basic list, which can then be refined during the process.
(2) Communicating specifications
Specifications per space For each space, you can formulate specifications. These can be both qualitative (e.g. aesthetics) and quantitative (e.g. size).
(2) Communicating specifications
Activities & users In complex projects, it can be useful to start with making an overview of all the activities that need to be accommodated in the building.
Map activities and spaces It’s possible to make ‘mappings’ between the activities and the spaces that have been defined in the brief, making sure nothing is overlooked.
(2) Communicating specifications
Change management You can track and trace changes that are being made to the brief, showing when, why and whom made the change.
Remarks You can allow people to make remarks and pose questions, e.g. indicating specifications that are unclear.
(2) Communicating specifications
Technical specs BriefBuilder enables you to detail all sorts of technical requirements for individual spaces, groups of spaces (e.g. all office spaces) or the building as a whole.
(2) Communicating specifications
Detail, when needed When needed, BriefBuilder allows you to go into full detail. Such specifications can, for example, also be useful for tenders for specific products (e.g. medical equipment, furniture, …) .
(2) Communicating specifications
Create a test plan Next to formulating your requirements, it also important to test whether design proposals actually meet those requirements. In BriefBuilder, you can outline what you want to test, when, how and what the outcome of the tests are.
Create overviews and reports You can create all sorts of data overviews which can, for example, be opened in Excel. It is also possible to compare different types of data, e.g. comparing ‘as required’ data with ‘as designed’ data.
(2) Communicating specifications
Search function Easily find the topics and requirements you need.

Available additional modules:
BREEAM Define, track and test your sustainability targets according to BREEAM, linking requirements from the brief to BREEAM scores
MONITORING Monitor the performance of a buildings and FM service providers against performance specification (i.e. PPP / PFI projects)
RISK MANAGEMENT Define, rate, track and manage risks throughout the project
TENDER MANAGEMENT Create an online platform where market parties can apply for the tender, upload information, and find all requirements
FACILITY MANAGEMENT Define the KPI’s and content of the SLA for any FM service (e.g. catering, cleaning, maintenance) in BriefBuilder and use it directly to tender and manage contracts
