Builders & data owners
Record types, ownership, revision practices, and conditions for use.
Building intelligence / Public safety
Building knowledge. For the people who respond.
Ephoris is developing the connection between existing building records and authorized first responders.
In developmentSystem 01 is a demonstration prototype.
Our starting point
Information already exists across the built environment. Its value depends on reaching the right people, in the right context.
01The information gap
A location is not
a complete picture.
A location tells a responder where to go. It does not describe the building beyond the door.
Plans and records hold useful context, but are distributed across organizations and systems. Their formats, availability, and conditions of use vary.

Architectural plansBuilders and design teamsHow is the interior arranged?
Property & permit recordsMunicipalities and property systemsWhat building context is available?
Pre-incident informationFire and EMS agenciesWhat has already been documented?
Examples of information sources—not connected Ephoris systems or confirmed data coverage.
02The work ahead
A connection.
Not another silo.
Our aim is to make existing building information useful in a response context without losing its source, scope, or conditions of access.
That requires work on both sides: understanding how records are maintained, and what responders need in the field.
- 01 / Existing records
Building knowledge
Plans and records held by their source organizations.
- 02 / Ephoris
Context & access
The proposed connection between a record, its location, and its conditions of use.
- 03 / Authorized response
Operational context
Relevant information organized around responder needs.
Demonstration prototype
System 01
The first interface study.
A demonstration of building context alongside a response scenario. A basis for discussion, not an operational tool.

A focused starting point for a larger public-safety mission.
Ephoris is an early-stage technology company. Our current focus is building intelligence: the information held about structures, and its potential value to the people who respond to them.

A practical place
to start.
We’re seeking conversations with the organizations that hold building knowledge and those that use it.
Tell us what your organization works on, where information is constrained, and what need you see.
