KOPE

Cloud-based systems configurator that automates offsite construction product integration

KOPE (Kit Of Parts Engine) is a purpose-built cloud platform that brings manufacturing logic into construction. It automates the application of real-world prefabricated building products directly into BIM models, generating instant quantity take-offs, cost estimates, and fabrication-ready deliverables. Integrates with Revit, Tekla, and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Construction teams manually coordinate design specifications with prefabricated products from multiple suppliers, leading to misalignment between digital designs and manufacturing capabilities. Quantity take-offs are error-prone, pricing quotes require days to prepare, and fabrication teams receive incomplete specifications. For a 5-story modular building, this manual process delays bidding by 1-2 weeks and creates rework when designs don't match product constraints.

The Solution

KOPE automates the application of real-world prefabricated building products into BIM models using rule-based configuration engines. Users import designs into Revit/Tekla, select manufacturing products from the KOPE Market, and hit "apply"—the platform automatically places components, generates accurate quantity take-offs, calculates costs, produces fabrication-ready models, and estimates carbon footprint. Reduces estimating time from days to minutes while ensuring designs match product capabilities.

USE CASES

Use Cases

  • ·Contractor responds to project bid in 2 hours instead of 2 days by importing design, selecting precast concrete floor system, and auto-generating QTO and cost estimate
  • ·Specifier designs 5-story modular building, applies CLT panel system to all walls automatically, verifies assembly sequence, and exports fabrication-ready model to manufacturer
  • ·Manufacturer receives BIM models from multiple customers and uses KOPE to verify designs match their product logic before quoting
  • ·Multi-unit residential developer evaluates cost impact of different building systems (framed panels vs. CLT vs. precast) in minutes using KOPE comparisons
  • ·Construction team coordinates with supplier by sharing KOPE-generated fabrication models, reducing design rework and manufacturing delays
