Make project information easier to analyze without changing the source model.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

For a project file the requester is allowed to process, run an approved local conversion tool to prepare spreadsheet data and, when configured, a 3D exchange file. Building models can contain confidential designs and site details; keep processing and outputs within approved storage, restrict access, and do not upload them to unapproved services. Check the converted fields against the source and have a project data owner approve outputs before they are used for design, quantities, or procurement.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

“Prepare usable data exports without exposing project files or silently changing their meaning.”
Work through the request.

Clear tasks, with review where it matters.

  1. Confirm file ownership and conversion permission
  2. Select the approved converter and output location
  3. Prepare a structured export

What this workflow could do

Helps an engineering team prepare structured data from supported building project files.

Review points proposed in this idea

A conversion can omit fields or interpret project elements differently. Preserve the original, check supported formats and output values, protect project details, and obtain an owner’s approval before downstream use.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

  1. 01

    Document supported file formats and converter versions

    Keep compatibility and expected output behavior clear to project teams.

  2. 02

    Restrict local file and output access

    Protect designs, site information, and generated exports.

  3. 03

    Set naming and retention rules

    Tie exports to a project and remove temporary copies under policy.

  4. 04

    Assign an engineering reviewer

    Name who confirms conversion fidelity before quantities or decisions rely on it.

Read the prelaunch status

Published templates and verified customer availability remain pending.
