A Building’s Lifecycle is complex and the software by every stakeholder party is unique. Often these systems create friction as information moves from one platform to another.

Layer allows users to create apps to remove this friction in 3 ways:

  1. Collecting Building Data from different sources
  2. Connecting Building Data from different sources
  3. Creating with combined sources of building data

Users can use the building blocks in Layer that do one, some, or all of these workflows in any combination.

<aside> 👀 For example a workflow to connect building assessment data and show it in Revit includes collecting building assessment data from a Layer Mobile Form, then connecting that data with a Revit model.

🧺 Collecting Data

Data in Layer is organized into Categories in a flat data structure (meaning there are no hierarchies to categories). There are many ways that you can collect data into Layer Categories:

  1. Manual input on the browser (desktop) or mobile apps

  2. Bulk importing elements from a spreadsheet
