Buildings
Know what is in your building. And find it immediately.
Bring spaces, installations, plans, warranties and maintenance history together. This turns your building into a practical digital record — with a Digital Twin and a lasting building passport.
For owners, building managers and technical teams.

Pilot direction: start with one workspace and expand later.
ObraPad is designed to keep Obra Core as the shared foundation while you add capabilities over time.
Building-specific activation and restricted installer access are being prepared for the pilot and verified end to end. Ask which scopes can currently be tested.
Intended starting point
The pilot direction is to begin with one workspace and add more later.
Planned per-building expansion
The planned flow activates Construction only for the building being renovated; other buildings stay unchanged.
Planned access model
The access model is being developed so an installer or partner can use only the selected building, installation or task.
Intended example: heat pump maintenance
In the intended scenario, the installer only accesses the heat pump, its documents and assigned maintenance tasks in one building. Other buildings, financial information and private documents remain outside the scope. View, change, duration and revocation controls must be proven server-side before availability.
The design keeps an additional workspace and partner access as separate choices, with the building passport as the shared foundation.
Recognise your situation
When do you use this?
01Find the heat pump
Today: The manual, warranty certificate and maintenance records are in separate folders.
Your workflow: Open the installation record or the linked QR code.
The result: The relevant documents and events are kept with the same device.
02New condition report
Today: The same property layout is entered again each time.
Your workflow: Transfer spaces and inventory to Inspection as a blank inspection structure.
The result: A reusable basis with new, separate observations.
03Prepare a renovation
Today: It is unclear which information is still current.
Your workflow: Compare document revisions and previous work for the space concerned.
The result: Prepare more precisely without confusing design and execution.
Less explaining. Less retyping.
This is how your team
really works together.
Everyone’s own language. The same agreement.
The architect writes in Dutch. The contractor reads in Spanish. The reply and original stay with the same task.
Depends on configurationSee where that spotlight belongs on the plan.
From the correct plan revision to 2D, 3D and AR guidance in the room. With dimensions and verification.
AR Set-out · plannedWhat you do here in practice
From daily tasks
to clear follow-up.
01Building → space → installationFind the exact component at your location.
You: Organize floors, spaces and technical installations in one structure.
ObraPad helps: Tasks and documents can refer to the same component.
Your benefitSpend less time determining which space a report concerns.
02Technical data sheets & warrantiesManual, serial number and warranty in one place.
You: Keep the brand, type, supplier and relevant product documentation with the installation.
ObraPad helps: The history remains linked to that installation.
Your benefitSpend less time searching before an intervention.
03On-site QR codesFrom a physical label to the correct record.
You: Use a linked QR code to open the relevant space or installation.
ObraPad helps: The linked identity provides the context; access rights still apply.
Your benefitLess manual searching by installation or space name.
04Plans, 3D & Digital TwinConnect the building view to daily work.Planned extension
Planned extension / roadmap
You: View the available plans; a linked 3D model can add spatial navigation.
ObraPad helps: The roadmap links objects to tasks and documents in the same context.
Your benefitLess explanation needed about where a problem is located.
05Building passport & historyInformation remains useful after renovation or transfer.
You: Bring relevant certificates, plans, work and maintenance data together.
ObraPad helps: Connected workflows continue building on the same building history.
Your benefitLess need to rebuild a transfer file.
06Smart Building & sensorsPlace measurements with the correct installation.Planned extension
Planned extension / roadmap
You: Connect supported sensors or systems when that integration is available.
ObraPad helps: Proposed thresholds can support alerts and follow-up.
Your benefitLess separate checking of individual screens; the effect depends on the connections.
07Inventory by spaceKnow what is present before an inspection or transfer.
You: Record the fixed space layout and relevant inventory, devices and components.
ObraPad helps: Inspection and Rentals can reuse the same objects without carrying old condition assessments over as new observations.
Your benefitRebuild fewer lists for a condition report.
08Maintenance, inspections & changes togetherDo not open a different archive each time for the same installation.
You: Consult linked inspections, work, document versions and warranties from the installation record.
ObraPad helps: Events from the other workspaces refer to the same object.
Your benefitUnderstand more quickly what happened before and what still requires attention.
09Collaborate in your own languageMessage, translation and reply remain with the same record.Depending on your configuration
Configuration- or add-on-dependent
You: Discuss a question about the same space or installation with the owner, manager and technician.
ObraPad helps: The original and translated view remain connected. Measurements, source references and important instructions are not silently changed.
Your benefitFewer misunderstandings between participants and fewer separate translation tasks.
10From QR to plan position and AROpen the correct space before viewing a position.Planned extension
Planned extension / roadmap
You: Select the space or its QR reference and open the relevant approved plan.
ObraPad helps: The AR roadmap reuses the same space and object identity. An ordinary QR code is not automatically a precise calibration anchor.
Your benefitLess location searching; a clear distinction between plan dimensions and the reliability of a projection.
Convenience through automation
Less routine work.
With the right control.
According to your rules
Recurring follow-up
Pass a selected space or installation to documents and tasks.
With AI support
No need to start again
Answer questions about the building using source information, depending on the AI configuration.
For decisions
You stay in control
Review data, access and technical findings where needed.
You define your workflow and boundaries. Routine can follow those rules; AI helps with preparation; exceptions remain visible. The capabilities you use depend on the available features and your plan.
Without a connected workflow
Look up a manual, then the supplier and then previous interventions.
With this workspace
Open the installation and view its documents, stakeholders and history together.
How much time could this save you?Your own figures, not a marketing percentage
Make one recurring task measurable.
Formula: number of tasks × (minutes now − minutes after the change) ÷ 60.
Open a calculation example
20 tasks × (15 − 10 minutes) = 100 minutes, or 1 hour and 40 minutes per month.
This is fictitious input, not a predicted product saving. Include checks and any additional actions. A negative result means additional time.
The editable calculation is available when this presentation is opened with JavaScript. Time freed up does not automatically represent a realised cost saving.
What information do we share with other workspaces?
Building · spaces · installations · building passport. You continue working with the same property context; you do not create a second record.
What can I extend here with add-ons?
Consider document extraction or Copilot assistance in your building record, depending on the package.
An add-on already included in your plan is not offered again. The exact features, limits and any additional price are shown with your configuration.
Workspaces and add-ons explained →Practical questions
Good to know.
Do I need a 3D model?
No. You can start with a recognizable building record, spaces, installations and documents. Advanced 3D and sensor functions are presented separately here as planned capabilities.
Does a QR code give everyone access to my documents?
No. The QR code points to an object; access control determines which information the user may view.
