Workflow automation is the use of software and digital tools to streamline repetitive, manual tasks in the design and construction process. It involves automating steps such as file coordination, data validation, documentation updates, and performance checks—reducing human error and saving time.
Design and construction teams juggle complex, multi-step processes that are often repetitive. Workflow automation boosts efficiency, reduces bottlenecks, and ensures consistency across project stages. It frees up time for higher-value work like design thinking, coordination, and quality control.
Firms use workflow automation to generate floor plans, auto-label drawings, sync model data with spreadsheets, or create code-compliance reports. In larger teams, it’s also used to automate file packaging and drawing issue processes—saving hours each week.
Workflow automation is like having a digital assistant that handles the boring, repetitive stuff—so you can focus on designing and delivering better projects.
The D.TO platform enables workflow automation by embedding intelligent, AI-driven tools directly into your BIM environment. From auto-evaluating design feasibility to generating actionable documentation insights, D.TO streamlines design decisions and documentation—helping architects and teams move faster with fewer manual steps.
