CaPSCi Architecture
Call for Cloud Developers
The BidForms Organization (BidForms.org) plans to open key components of the CaPSCi architecture to interested individuals and organizations.
CaPSCi is a digital identity infrastructure based on encrypted tokens. It’s a roadmap for developers building property management and construction related service provider solutions. Silent authentication simplifies user and platform associations with property assets and management teams. Tactical use of encrypted identity’s provide a seamless interface for strategic exchange and consumption of data across the diverse service provider ecosystems.
The planned release is intended to facilitate rapid application development and adoption of integrated cloud platforms that interactively communicate between build, operation and management service provider ecosystems. “Market demand includes cloud platforms in all construction related trades in key application spaces and several property management verticals, said Sacha Christopolous, VP Construction Trades at BidForms. “We anticipate additional market opportunities to emerge as the public becomes more familiar with the CaPSCi architecture”.
PropTech Pricing Models
Its getting out of control. In 2023, PropTech platforms serving property management started imposing heavy fees on construction service providers. If you have only one property management client, a $100 fee can be absorbed by contractors and AEC professionals. But what about those service providers who have three, five and many more clients? Compliance platforms are asking up to $800 a year (per platform) to file a single document on the behalf of their cloud “Clients” – the same “Clients” of those AEC/Construction service providers they’re demanding subscription fees from.
“You have to know who your customers are. We don’t charge transient users nor should cloud platforms solicit a client’s vendors without the permission of those service provider users”, said Jane Powell, COO at RFQGuides. Platforms must convert transient users into clients before charging them. And they must offer “can’t live without” features service providers want to pay for.
PropTech platforms have become a wedge between construction and property management. An industry where most relationships are based on trust and the personal connections of doing business together for years. PropTech platforms are pushing the envelope of acceptable business practices. Including threats of contractors loosing their preferred vendor status with property managers.
Cloud services operating in real estate must focus on attracting the universe of users in contrast to one or two per firm. User seats and features should be priced separately and accordingly with tangible human efficiencies. Until then, non-tech savvy users in construction will opt to exchange docs manually via email in fifteen minutes or less. Certainly in less time than it takes to register and login to some cloud platforms.
Will PropTech Work
It’s up to Industry Now
CaPSCi developers pioneered a technology architecture to enable industrywide autonomy and developer opportunity for property assets, The property owner-investor can enable and leverage development of digital technologies that promise substantial improvements across all build, operation and management ecosystems with a digital property identity.
Technology Rises from the Ashes of Defeat
Stumbles on billion $ market
Originally designed and patented around data center management infrastructures c.2000, the technology now solves major Construction PropTech roadblocks. Converting SLACi IP to the CaPSCi architecture was specifically designed around property through its improvements and related service provider ecosystems. See history
Data Center Technology
Solves PropTech Roadblock
The original version was a desktop app designed to support automation in the management of data center infrastructures. The same architecture applied to property build, operation and management ecosystems enables rapid technology development to solve real world problems with sustainable human efficiencies.
PropTech – An Investment Asset You Say?
Valued at less than $9 Billion today as nothing more than an expense, Digital Property Identity experts say data connected to a property identity could boost valuations over a quadrillion in ten years.
Electronically Registered
Building Equipment
Material and equipment manufacturers will soon self-register equipment installation details to the buildings CDE (common data environment). Emerging technologies may leave manufactures in limbo and ownership exposed if they don’t get involved now.
The Great Property Management Give-A-Way
Property management firms handing PropTech platforms a complete list of service providers give way hundreds of thousands of dollars in data and value while being charged for a different service.
Roofing Industry Snub’s Construction PropTech
Architectural teams spent fifteen years interviewing subject matter experts and sharing technology concepts with industry thought leaders including contractors, property managers, suppliers, manufacturers and associations like the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA). In the roofing trades, the most influential included Carlisle, Johns Manville and the NRCA who liberated concepts while seemingly dismissing the proposed technology.
