REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT

Every requirement,
in one place.

Tektome integrates meeting minutes, regulations, internal standards, and institutional know-how, automatically tracking and distilling what designers need to act on.

Requirements Management

CORE CONCEPT

“A system that centralizes all constraints, requirements, and knowledge and flows them seamlessly through to BIM verification.”

THE CHALLENGE

Design requirements are
structurally broken.

In complex, long-term architectural projects, what designers must follow is
scattered across four different sources and no single tool connects them.

01

No single source of truth

Meeting minutes, emails, Excel sheets, and PDFs contradict each other. Designers can’t confirm which version is current without hours of cross-referencing.

02

Project memory is lost at handover

When staff change, the reasoning behind every specification — built over months of meetings —exists only in one person’s head. It disappears the moment they leave.

03

Regulations exceed human recall

Every design change triggers cascading regulatory implications. No one has the working memory — or the tools — to track them systematically.

04

Expert knowledge stays siloed

Institutional know-how lives in senior staff emails and informal channels — inaccessible to junior designers at the moment they need it most.

05

Change chains go undetected

A single room area change silently triggers new smoke exhaust obligations, soundproofing requirements, and BIM check items — none of which surface automatically.

06

Excel management collapses under load

Every team tries to manage requirements in spreadsheets. Every team stops updating when the project gets busy. The death spiral is not a motivation problem — it’s a design problem.

HOW IT WORKS

Drop in. Approve. The system does the rest.

User effort is limited to two actions. Extraction, classification, version control, and regulatory recalculation are handled automatically.

01 DROP IN

Drop in meeting minutes, regulatory PDFs, standards, or emails. The system extracts requirements automatically.

02 APPROVE

Review the structured list of new and changed requirements. One action confirms them.

03 TRACK
v1 · 50㎡
v2 · 80㎡
v3 · 100㎡ ✓

Every version retained with its source meeting and original wording. Query the full history at any point.

WHAT IT DELIVERS

Four outcomes grounded in real projects.

The current answer, in one second.

No more filtering Excel or searching emails. Query the confirmed state of any requirement instantly.

Memory survives handovers.

Specifications carry who decided, when, and why. Handovers stop being knowledge loss events.

Know-how, exactly when needed.

Veteran knowledge surfaces as contextual alerts the moment a relevant requirement is confirmed.

THE FOUR RESOURCES

Everything that shapes
what must be followed.

The solution integrates four structurally different sources of constraint — each
with its own update frequency, authority, and handling logic.

R1Meeting Minutes

Client dialogue and accumulated change history. Natural language, high change frequency, traceable through LLM extraction to structured requirement records.

HIGH FREQUENCY
R2Regulations

Building Standards Law, Fire Services Act, local ordinances. Non-negotiable. Dynamically recalculated as project attributes change — not a static lookup.

DYNAMIC RECALCULATION
R3Internal Standards

Client and organizational specifications. Indexed in vector DB for query and contradiction detection. Used for compliance checking, not binary BIM verification.

QUERY & DETECT
R4Institutional Know-how

The only generative resource. Experience and lessons from senior staff — structured, tagged, and surfaced as contextual alerts rather than BIM check items. Prevents recurring failures.
