Octo and the standards

The standard says what to deliver. Octo helps organize the delivery.

The ISO 19650 series covers information management using BIM, and ABNT publishes its parts in Brazil. ABNT NBR 15575 covers the performance of residential buildings. The standards are paid, and their text is not reproduced here: this page shows what each part covers, its catalog status and where Octo can help your team meet what it has already defined.

The ISO 19650 series, NBR 15575 and the ABNT catalog go into Octo, which returns the list of standards with edition and status and the checklists.

What Octo does with the standards.

Four possible deliverables. Octo organizes; interpreting the standard is up to the professional of record.

List of project standards

From the ABNT catalog, it can build the list of parts that apply to your project, with the edition and status of each, for the team to check.

Deliverable: list of standards with edition, status and link

Information registers and versions

Part 1 of ISO 19650 recommends an information management structure: exchange, recording, versioning and organization. Octo can automate the registers and versioning your team has already defined.

Deliverable: register routine that follows your procedure

Checklists by system

With the NBR 15575 text your company owns, it can organize checklists by system (structure, floors, walls, roofs, plumbing) for the team to fill in.

Deliverable: checklists to fill in and review

New edition alert

It can check the ABNT catalog from time to time and flag when a part used in the project changes edition or status.

Deliverable: alert with the catalog link
02

Eight arms, one standard at a time.

The same Octo cycle, applied to this workstream. Each arm has a narrow role; the people who approve and sign are on your team.

  1. Discovery

    Surveys what already exists

    Procedures, document templates and the standards the company already owns. Octo starts from what your team has defined.

  2. Data

    Pins down edition and status

    For each standard, the edition, the date and the status in the ABNT catalog, with the link.

  3. Security

    Respects the license

    A purchased standard is for the company's use. Octo does not reproduce the text outside the client's environment.

  4. Architecture

    Picks the format

    Spreadsheet, checklist or routine in the system the team already uses.

  5. Development

    Builds the routine

    Lists, registers and alerts, with the reference for each item.

  6. Review

    Checks with the professional of record

    Each list goes through the professional of record before it is used.

  7. Release

    Delivers with your OK

    Puts the lists and routines in the environment the team specifies.

  8. Documentation

    Records the decisions

    Which part applies to each project, in which edition, and why.

Octo does not certify compliance with standards. Interpretation and technical responsibility belong to the licensed professionals.

03

Each part, its own status.

From request to routine.

Three steps. Each one only makes sense after the previous one has shown results on your team.

A proposal, not a promise

What Octo does and what stays with you.

Octo prepares everything, but does not sign. The document of record stays with whoever is accountable for it.

Octo prepares

Surveys, calculates, organizes and produces the documents: spreadsheets, reports, drawing sheets and drafts.

Deliverable: material ready to check

Your team checks

The licensed professional checks what Octo delivered before signing. If something doesn't add up, it goes back to Octo with the correction.

Step: review by the signer

Who signs

Octo does not sign. Designs, technical reports, ART/RRT (Brazil's professional responsibility records), accountability reports and any official document are still signed by the company's or agency's licensed professional: here, the responsible engineer or architect, with an ART or RRT.

Sign-off: engineer or architect, with ART/RRT
