Problem
Building professionals often struggle with disconnected data, inefficient collaboration, and time-consuming reporting processes, leading to errors and delays in project delivery. Managing building information across multiple platforms and stakeholders creates silos, hindering effective decision-making and increasing the risk of miscommunication.
Solution
Layer provides a centralized workflow platform that enables building professionals to capture field data, connect it to building drawings and models, and generate reports. The platform streamlines data collection through native iOS and Android applications, allowing users to attach photos, files, and notes to specific locations and model items. By integrating directly with Revit, Layer facilitates real-time collaboration and ensures that all project stakeholders have access to the most up-to-date information. The platform's document generator and automation features further enhance efficiency by automating repetitive tasks and eliminating the need for manual data entry.
Target Audience
Layer is designed for architects, engineers, contractors, and facility managers who need a centralized platform for managing building data, streamlining workflows, and improving collaboration across project teams.
