Room data sheets are organized outline of the requirements that apply to specific room types. They are usually developed during the briefing (or architectural programming in the US) phase of a design project. They aid in clarifying the requirements of the client for each type of space. They can be used to create specifications that help designers and contractors know what is expected of each space and how they can ensure that any proposed solution fits the client's needs.

Typically room data sheets are created by https://www.searchstreams.info architects and members of the design team, such as interior designers and engineers. They are still a work-in-progress and may remain as a "living document" until the client has approved the final design of the architectural. The data contained in the room sheets can then be transferred to the Revit model by a process known as backfilling. This method of verification can help to ensure that the data for the room accurately matches the requirements in final documents. It can also reveal the differences.

The Room Data Sheets component of BriefBuilder makes it simple to create room data sheets, and use to synchronize them with the Revit model. It includes a set standard templates and pre-programmed listlists for the structural, electrical HVAC, plumbing and structural disciplines. It allows the insertions of graphics and drawings that are thumbnail-sized.

The component is simple to use and does not require special set up. It can load configurations that have been saved, which cuts down on the time spent setting up. It permits properties such as scale, browser organization and naming for each page to be defined.
