Project Blueprint Ltd. & Codebook International

CodeBook™ is a computer appliance and database that allows the artist or architecture aggregation to plan with accommodating graphical and textural advice bearing accessories schedules, themed graphical views, automated allowance abstracts bedding & elevations.

CodeBook™ provides a complete band-aid for Planners, Architects and Project Managers alive on a array of platforms. The Codebook ambit of accoutrement is now accordant for use with the AutoCAD™, MicroStation™, Architectural Desktop™, mGDS™, and REVIT™ platforms.
Typically, architecture abstracts apropos to a activity is not calmly shared, and a individual database appearance of a activity at any date is artlessly not achievable. A Project Team can now accept to use altered platforms, application the one they prefer, MicroStation in one appointment and conceivably AutoCAD at another. The account consultants ability be experimenting with the use of Revit and the accessories specialists application Excel/Access, but now all abstracts can be extracted and accumulated in RoomData™.

In affiliation with Blueprint’s own desktop software and the internet based RoomData™ product, the apartment of Codebook™ accoutrement becomes even added powerful, alms abounding offices alive in disparate locations above altered architecture platforms the adeptness to calmly amalgamate their work. The plan of a array of Architects, Services consultants, and Equipment Specialists can now all be accumulated in the one individual on-line database.

The system’s administration of designs allows above standards to be circumscribed during a project’s development, and can be accessed from any terminal in use by the architecture team. Crucially, the arrangement avoids the botheration of duplication ahead encountered by assorted users alteration the aforementioned CAD pages.

CodeBook™ offers a alike way of importing abstracts (Space Program) and synchronizing this with the CAD model. As the architecture is developed the software will again acquiesce the ecology of the architecture adjoin the brief.

Database Approach to Design
Codebooks’ groundbreaking ambit of desktop accoutrement accommodate greater amount & accident ascendancy from the actual beginning. This database access to architecture expedites and improves accurateness of the affidavit of projects. The database enables Architects to administer the action of Room Data Sheet bearing and their abetment during Schematic architecture on through to Design/Development. The adeptness to actualize and re-use account libraries, adjure allegory & analysis tools, the abolishment of book versions are just a few of the abounding complete in above ascendancy tools.
CodeBook™ allows you to save your account and accumulation libraries, and re-use on consecutive projects. This affection bigger eliminates repetitive abstracts keying from activity to project. The Room Editor allows users to chase templates or override them, and change all apartment advised to a accurate arrangement if desired.

Standard Rooms & Equipment Library
Room abstracts templates are aswell accessible to account important architecture criteria, which can advance account of accepted allowance types (consultant room, Operating theatre etc.). These can be fabricated up from an all-encompassing database of symbols that appear with the affairs and abject and alone anon into the CAD drawing. All the time this is happening, Codebook is befitting clue of what has been placed in the cartoon vs. what the abrupt instructed.

CodeBook™ includes a arrangement graphical library of 4,000 items of accessories and furniture. Associated abstracts such as group, description, appropriate a account etc. is available. Equipment layouts can be complete rapidly from a library of graphical components. They can be aggregate as accepted arrangement configurations.

Reports & Thematic Views
CodeBook™ provides the user aberrant acceptance to accurate documentation, with the adeptness to appearance and book a array of real-time Reports at their own workplace.

CodeBook™ can address on Area Comparisons, Equipment & Furniture by allowance or by project, Door & Finishes Schedules and Budget Cost Analyses, are produced stored in an industry accepted database, which can be affiliated to alien abstracts sources. During Design/Documentation the adeptness to address on all the fit out elements expedites the approval, abandonment & accretion process.

Complex abstracts can be beheld in altered colors according to database values. For example, a cartoon can be black and labeled to appearance amplitude accepted achievements or anatomic relationships.

Visualization & Elevations
CodeBook™ shows the positions of all appliance and equipment; added appearance include, annotated cartoon frames, abundant schedules and reflected beam plans. CodeBook™ aswell increases activity ability by accumulation the adeptness to accomplish elevations and accommodate ascent heights.

Record Drawings & Data
At duke over date all ‘as built’ or “Record” abstracts in affiliation with Equipment purchased can be installed anon into applicant asset ability aliment software systems of choice.

Update
After the USACE COBIE** affirmation in July, 2008, Project Blueprint Ltd. accepted their position to crop on the added development of CodeBook™.

Future affairs include; Additional CAD interoperability, and added refinements to the CAD user interface.
