Core offering

Cobuilder provides a cloud-based SaaS platform that structures product data and compliance documentation for the construction industry. The platform enables building owners, contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, and wholesalers to collaborate on standardized, machine-readable product information from design through facility management handover. Core capabilities include data dictionary management, BIM-integrated information requirements, automated product documentation delivery from ERP systems, and lifecycle compliance with EU and Nordic regulations (REACH, CPR, BREEAM, CSRD/ESG, DPP).

Product overview

Cobuilder is a multi-product platform for the construction industry that helps building owners, contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, and wholesalers manage product data, documentation, and compliance with structure and confidence. The core platform consists of three main products: Cobuilder Collaborate (project-level compliance and documentation management), Cobuilder Supply (manufacturer-level product data management and distribution, formerly goBIM), and Cobuilder Connect (automated product documentation delivery via ERP integration). These are complemented by specialized modules including Cobuilder Require (information requirements management for BIM integration), Define (data dictionary and template management), Cobuilder App (mobile access), Supply Analytics (product usage insights), and Cobuilder Supply SDS (safety data sheet management). The products are interconnected: Connect feeds data into Collaborate and Supply through ERP integration, Require uses templates from Define, and all products share a common data dictionary framework.

Products and services

• Cobuilder Collaborate A system for collecting 'as-built' product information throughout the construction process, enabling seamless collaboration and exchange of product data and documentation between project stakeholders. Supports SDS (Safety Data Sheet) registers, exposure registers, risk assessments, BREEAM assessments, deviation tracking, and FDV facility management handover documentation.
• Cobuilder Supply An online service for manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors to register and distribute product information to construction industry customers. Formerly known as goBIM, it enables digitization of product data using data templates per EN ISO 23387 and supports product data sheets aligned with EN ISO 22386.
• Cobuilder Connect Automated delivery service that distributes safety data sheets, declarations of performance, assembly instructions, environmental declarations, and other product documentation from the customer's ERP system directly to the Cobuilder platform and into project contexts in Collaborate.
• Cobuilder Require Information requirements management tool for creating, editing, and sharing information requirements in construction projects with stakeholders. Integrates with BIM tools and data dictionaries (Define, bSDD). Supports IFC enrichment, IDS export, Excel export, Revit Shared Parameters export, and Autodesk Construction Cloud integration.
• Define Data dictionary platform enabling customers to create, manage, and share data templates within a common framework. Data templates communicate quality information about building elements, materials, and products across the construction value chain in digital format.
• Cobuilder Supply SDS Safety Data Sheet management offering enabling manufacturers, importers, and distributors of chemicals to deliver and update safety data sheets to the Cobuilder platform in compliance with REACH regulations. Annual subscription with tiered NOK pricing from NOK 3,700 (1-10 SDS) to NOK 74,200 (>200 SDS) plus per-SDS registration and linking fees.
• Supply Analytics Analytics offering providing insights into product performance, showing which products are actually used in construction projects, which contractors specify them, and identifying growth potential for manufacturers.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Dalux: Dalux is a Danish construction-tech company offering BIM collaboration, document management, and facility management tools — the closest direct competitor to Cobuilder in the Nordic construction-software market with overlapping building-owner, contractor, and FM-handover use cases.
• Catenda: Catenda (formerly Byggeweb) is a Norwegian BIM collaboration and project information platform serving Nordic construction stakeholders. It overlaps directly with Cobuilder's Collaborate and Require offerings on BIM-based information management and project documentation.
• LetsBuild: LetsBuild is a European construction project management and quality/safety platform serving general contractors. It overlaps with Cobuilder's Collaborate use cases around site-level documentation, compliance, and project collaboration.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk Construction Cloud (including BIM 360, ACC, and Revit) is a broad incumbent in construction collaboration and BIM. Cobuilder Require integrates with it, but Autodesk could natively extend its product-data and compliance capabilities, competing directly with Cobuilder's structured-data layer.
• Procore: Procore is a leading broad construction management platform covering project management, quality, safety, and document control. It is broader than Cobuilder but competes in contractor-facing project documentation, compliance workflows, and supplier data exchange.
• Oracle Aconex: Oracle Aconex is a long-established construction document control and project collaboration platform with strong enterprise adoption. It competes in the same construction-compliance and information-management category as Cobuilder, particularly with large contractors and owners.
• Trimble Viewpoint: Trimble Viewpoint is a broad construction ERP and project management suite targeting contractors. Its document, compliance, and project information modules overlap with Cobuilder's contractor-facing workflows.
• Bentley Systems (iTwin): Bentley Systems provides infrastructure engineering and digital twin software with growing construction-information capabilities. It competes at the BIM/information-requirements layer where Cobuilder Require and Define operate.

Emerging players

• Newforma: Newforma provides project information management for architecture, engineering, and construction firms. It overlaps with Cobuilder's document, submittal, and BIM information-requirements workflows, though with a narrower geographic footprint.
• Building Transparency (EC3 / BEAM): Building Transparency operates the EC3 (Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator) tool and hosts EPD/BIM data for construction materials. It addresses adjacent sustainability and EPD data needs, overlapping with Cobuilder's compliance/ESG data ambitions and CIRPASS-2 DPP work.
