System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: frosty-bim

1. Introduction

The frosty-bim project aims to revolutionize the BIM (Building Information Modeling) domain by integrating advanced technology and automation into architectural and construction workflows. This document outlines the system requirements for the project, tailored to meet the needs of Shlomi BIM VakninBIM and his team in Israel (IL). The goal is to create a presentation-ready system that enhances profitability, efficiency, and control within the office environment.

2. System Overview

The frosty-bim system is designed to address inefficiencies in manual workflows, unify team processes, reduce errors, and establish a robust framework for cross-departmental management. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, automation, and parametric design principles, the system will serve as a growth engine for the office, enabling smarter project execution and significant cost savings.

3. Functional Requirements

Story Points:

• As User I should be able to define BIM as an independent domain within the office.
• As Admin I should be able to establish clear authority and cross-departmental management for BIM processes.
• As User I should be able to automate repetitive tasks to reduce manual work.
• As Admin I should be able to measure and monitor BIM-related metrics for continuous improvement.
• As User I should be able to implement parametric design principles for smarter workflows.
• As Admin I should be able to integrate BIM technology across all office departments.
• As User I should be able to reduce project errors and improve communication between teams.
• As Admin I should be able to appoint a BIM Director to lead the initiative.
• As Guest I should be able to view the impact of BIM on project timelines and profitability.

4. User Personas

Admin:

• Responsible for overseeing BIM integration and ensuring alignment with office goals.
• Manages cross-departmental workflows and appoints leadership roles like BIM Director.

User:

• Engages with BIM tools and workflows to execute projects efficiently.
• Focuses on reducing errors and improving communication within teams.

Guest:

• Observes the system's impact on profitability and project execution.
• Provides feedback on the overall effectiveness of BIM integration.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

Color Palette:

• Background: #F7F7F7 (Light Gray)
• Surface: #000000 (Black)
• Text: #FFD700 (Golden Yellow)
• Accent: #FFAA00 (Bright Amber)
• Muted Tones: #808080 (Gray)

This palette reflects the bold and innovative spirit of the frosty-bim project, with a focus on professionalism and modernity.

6. Signature Design Concept

Concept: Interactive Blueprint Landing Page

The homepage will resemble a dynamic architectural blueprint, complete with pencil-sketch animations and interactive elements. Users will navigate through sections that appear as layers of a building plan, with each layer representing a feature of the system.

Key Features:

• Animations: Pencil-sketch transitions that morph into detailed 3D models as users scroll.
• Interactive Elements: Clickable hotspots on the blueprint that expand into detailed feature descriptions.
• Color Shifts: Subtle transitions between muted gray tones and vibrant yellow highlights as users interact.
• Micro-Interactions: Hover effects that simulate drawing lines or erasing sections, creating a tactile experience.

This design will make the frosty-bim system unforgettable, showcasing its innovative approach to BIM technology.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must support multi-language functionality, including Hebrew and English.
• The system should ensure high availability with 99.9% uptime.
• Security protocols must comply with GDPR and Israeli data protection regulations.
• The system must be scalable to accommodate future growth in user base and features.

8. Tech Stack

Frontend:

• React for Web
• React Native for Mobile App

Backend:

• Python
• FastAPI

Database:

• MySQL or MariaDB (preferred for RDBMS)
• MongoDB for NoSQL
• WeaviateDB for VectorDB

AI Models:

• GPT 5.4 for user-friendly responses
• Claude 4.6 Opas for academic or coding work
• Gemini 3.1 Pro for friendly responses
• Google Nano Banana for image generation

AI Tools:

• Litellm for LLM Routing
• Langchain

Orchestration:

• Docker and docker-compose for local orchestration
• Kubernetes for server-side orchestration

9. Assumptions and Constraints

Assumptions:

• The office has existing standards, workflows, and automation tools that can be integrated into the system.
• Users are familiar with BIM concepts and tools.
• The system will be deployed in a cloud environment for scalability.

Constraints:

• Budget limitations may restrict the scope of initial implementation.
• Compliance with local regulations and standards is mandatory.
• Integration with legacy systems may require additional development effort.
