Smart Documents

Documents that think
for themselves.

When your documents are connected to a live parameter register, they stop being static files and start being living records. Specifications stay current. Designations apply themselves. The H&S File assembles as you work.

The Problem

Static documents lie.

A PDF is a snapshot. The moment a specification changes, every document that referenced it becomes incorrect. Teams spend weeks before handover manually reconciling drawings, schedules, and certificates that have drifted out of sync.

For Higher-Risk Buildings, this is not just inefficient. It is a compliance risk. The Building Safety Regulator expects a document register that accurately reflects the as-built state of the building, not a folder of PDFs that were correct six months ago.

How It Works

Four capabilities. One connected record.

Smart Documents are not a document management tool bolted onto a BIM platform. They are a native consequence of treating your model as a database.

Parameter Sync

Documents that update themselves

Every Smart Document is connected to the central Parameter Register. When a fire rating, specification, or structural value changes in the model, every linked document reflects it instantly. No manual updates. No version conflicts. No specification drift.

Live two-way sync between model parameters and document fields
Change propagation across all linked schedules and drawings
Audit trail capturing what changed, when, and who approved it

Metadata Enrichment

Every document knows where it belongs

Smart Documents carry structured metadata from the moment they are created. Classification codes, RIBA stages, discipline tags, and statutory designations are applied automatically, ensuring your document register is always clean, searchable, and audit-ready.

Automatic classification by RIBA stage and discipline
ISO 19650 document naming convention enforcement
Full-text and metadata search across the entire register

H&S File Integration

The Health and Safety File, always complete

Under CDM 2015, the Principal Designer is responsible for compiling and maintaining the H&S File. Smart Documents automatically designates safety-relevant records, keeps them synchronised with the live model, and packages them for handover at Gateway 3 without any manual assembly.

Automatic H&S File designation for CDM-relevant documents
Live sync with the spatial ledger throughout construction
One-click BSR-ready export at practical completion

Element Linking

Documents linked to the exact element

Every O&M manual, test certificate, and inspection record is attached directly to the 3D element it describes. Operators can click any wall, door, or system in the model and immediately access every document associated with it. Handover stops being a folder. It becomes a query.

Element-level document association across all disciplines
Full lifecycle coverage from design intent to occupation
Instant retrieval by element, date, discipline, or status

Central Parameter Register

One source. Every document.

The Parameter Register is the single source of truth for every project value. Smart Documents subscribe to it. When a fire compartment rating changes, the fire strategy document, the door schedule, and the procurement specification all update in the same instant.

Your documents should work as hard as your model.

Smart Documents are part of every Win Win Designs project. No additional setup. No separate tool. They come with the platform because they are built into the architecture.
