About Data Design System

For more than two decades DATA DESIGN SYSTEM (DDS) has developed innovative BIM based concept solutions for building services professionals.

The company's flagship product is known as DDS-CAD MEP, and is a suite of complimentary solutions for mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP). Available separately for each discipline or as a single integrated product, DDS-CAD is probably the most advanced suite of tools available on the market today. The concept is based on a very powerful Building Information Model (DDS-CAD Building) that serves as the platform for the coordination of interdisciplinary work. Advanced integrated calculations uses both information from the building itself in combination with design criteria for the disciplines to assist users in making right design decisions and to create the necessary documentation.

With more than 12,000 users, DDS is one of Europe's leading software developers with interdisciplinary solutions for mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP).

DDS has for many years been active in work related to buildingSMART. DDS-CAD was the first MEP software to achieve full Ifc2x3 certification. The company's products have been used successfully in many buildingSMART projects world-wide, and the popular free downloadable DDS IfcViewer has been another popular contribution to the buildingSMART community..
