About dRofus

dRofus is the leading planning and data management solution for the global building industry. dRofus enables all project stakeholders to create, manage and share the building lifecycle data they are responsible for centrally and collaboratively with the rest of the project team through dRofus cloud based SQL server database. dRofus therefore allows links to occur between information on room data, room function data, finishes data and Items data in one common database. dRofus is a program which is independent of project and sector, and can be utilized for all types of buildings, irrespective of the complexity. dRofus has been designed to allow major adaptations to an individual project, such that the program's functionality and appearance can vary from project to project.
