IFC to Excel Conversion
Business Case
Problem Statement
IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) is the open BIM standard, but:
- Reading IFC requires specialized software
- Property extraction needs programming knowledge
- Batch processing is manual and time-consuming
- Integration with analytics tools is complex
Solution
IfcExporter.exe converts IFC files to structured Excel databases, making BIM data accessible for analysis, validation, and reporting.
Business Value
- Open standard - Process any IFC file (2x3, 4x, 4.3)
- No licenses - Works offline without BIM software
- Data extraction - All properties, quantities, materials
- 3D geometry - Export to Collada DAE format
