Deliver design intent through Asset Intelligence
Structured, governed information that enables design decisions to carry through delivery, handover and operation.
Design quality and downstream performance depend on structured, governed information
Consultants and designers play a crucial role in shaping how buildings are delivered and operated. Maintaining design intent can be difficult when information is fragmented, inconsistently structured or changed without traceability. Data often becomes diluted during handover, creating rework and risk downstream.
Glider enables Asset Intelligence at the design stage by helping consultants and designers define, structure and validate information from the start of a project. You gain clear visibility of decisions, changes and requirements, ensuring information remains accurate and traceable as it moves through the lifecycle.
With Glider, you can reduce compliance risk and improve audit confidence, align stakeholders and support a smoother transition into construction and operations.
What Glider helps consultants & designers achieve
- Maintain design intent across the project lifecycle
- Track changes and updates with full audit history
- Reduce rework through standardisation and validation
- Collaborate effectively with contractors, owners and project teams
- Ensure design outputs meet compliance, quality and safety requirements
- Provide structured data for digital handover and operational use
- Capture materials and component information for materials passports and sustainability reporting
How Consultants & Designers fit into Asset Intelligence
Asset Intelligence starts in the design phase. Information created here shapes how well a building is delivered, handed over, operated and optimised.
With Glider, consultants and design teams can:
- Define information requirements (AIR, EIR, PIR) early
- Ensure models and documents follow standards (ISO 19650, IFC, COBie)
- Validate design information before it moves downstream
- Maintain clear records of decisions, changes and approvals
- Support the Golden Thread with structured and traceable information
- Prepare construction and operations teams with verified data
Turn design data into actionable asset insight
Glider ensures that design information is:
- Structured
Organised consistently using metadata, templates and naming conventions. - Traceable
All changes, decisions and approvals are captured automatically. - Searchable
Teams can find the information they need instantly. - Compliant
Information is validated against standards and requirements before progressing. - Operationally useful
Information is ready for digital handover, operations, materials passports and digital twin use cases.
Glider integrates with design and project tools including IFC, COBie, CDEs, BIM platforms and project management systems, to ensure information flows smoothly across the project.
