Room data sheets are a systematic overviews of the building’s requirements and they play a vital part in planning and design as well as project development. They aid in communication as well as quality assurance and change management.
They are usually created during the briefing phase (architectural programming in the US) of the project, in order to convey the client’s requirements for every type of space. They then serve as the basis for specifications to help contractors and design teams comprehend what is expected from the spaces, and also to ensure that the proposed solution is in line with the specifications of the client.
Architects create room data sheets through interviews with stakeholders and clients. They are often unfinished and can remain a ‘living document until the design team has agreed on them.
When creating a data sheet to a space, it’s important to remember to categorize the items you create as ‘general’ or “specific”. For instance, a general need could be that the office needs to be soundproofed to a specific amount, while the specific requirements could include things like:
With Layer’s digital room templates for data sheets and pre-defined picklists, you can record all the necessary details in a straightforward and efficient way. This helps designers think in a systematic manner and take into account all requirements, reducing the chance of overlooking or missing something. Furthermore, when you connect your room data sheets to an IFC floor plan you can automatically create adjacency diagrams to see how requirements are translated into spatial solutions.
