COBie workbook quality review and reporting.

Review COBie data quality

COBie Reporter focuses on reviewing COBie workbook quality and communicating the findings. It is useful for handover and data-review workflows where the question is whether the workbook information is complete, understandable and ready for the next conversation.

This page is about reporting and review. It does not describe the controlled update workflow that belongs to COBie Updater.

Reporting workflow

Import the COBie workbook, run the appropriate quality checks, inspect the results and export a clear HTML or PDF report where supported. The report gives reviewers a portable way to communicate issues without changing the original source by accident.

Use with other information tools

Parameter Dictionary can help interpret IFC terms and properties. QA Reporter + Model Health can support wider model-quality review where COBie findings sit alongside IFC health information.
