bimimport Pipeline
Extract material elements from IFC. Calculate embodied carbon. Auto-match to EPD databases (KBOB, Oekobaudat).
Tabulas Construction
Giving Buildings Material Memory
From design to demolition. Every material tracked.
The Gap
Architects design buildings in CAD. Contractors build them in the field. Demolition companies disassemble them decades later.
Between design and demolition, nobody knows if what was installed matches the spec. Material delivery notes get filed away. Substitutions are handwritten. Batch numbers are lost. When a building reaches end of life, the recycler has no way to know what was actually inside.
The Opportunity
What if every material delivery was an event? Every installation was verified? Every modification was tracked?
Material memory means architects, contractors, and demolition teams work from one source of truth. Design stays connected to reality. When a building is deconstructed 50 years later, the recycler knows exactly what's worth recovering.
Compliance becomes circular economy infrastructure.
The Complete Lifecycle
Tabulas captures material data at every phase. From specification to demolition.
Phases
Architect exports IFC. Elements matched to bestek material list.
What We've Built
Material Configurator
Upload IFC. Extract quantities. View CO₂ impact per material.
Document Importer
Delivery notes, installation records, and site documents → structured data. Supplier, product, batch number, EPD automatically extracted and linked.
Knowledge Graph
All phases, all events, all materials in RDF. Queryable. Auditable. Immutable timeline.
Why Now
EU regulations demand DPPs by 2027-2028. But the real opportunity is earlier: architects and contractors starting DPP systems now will own premium positioning by 2027. Latecomers will be compliant but forgettable.
