  Information-rich 3D models
  We use model-based design. In addition to the geometry, our 3D models also contain data on components, materials and relevant parameters. This is an essential step for the further use of the models in use cases.

  Seamless data flow across all phases
  
  We assist you in selecting the appropriate BIM project platform. In this way, we ensure efficient management and smooth exchange of your data between project stakeholders.
  
  This ensures a consistent data flow throughout all phases of the construction project.

  Experience the power of data in action!
  We use our BIM models to simulate complex scenarios, visualise your project and carry out in-depth analyses. This enables well-informed decisions to be made.

  Encouraging collaboration
  By establishing a collaboration process, we encourage cooperation among all project stakeholders. Furthermore, as part of our quality assurance process, we can identify collisions and conflicts in the model at an early stage.

  • Collaboration within the model
  • Training: role-specific training for BIM coordinators, project managers and designers
  • Rule-based quality assurance
  • BIM technical coordination
  • Overall BIM coordination
  • Model-based meetings

  Comprehensible and transparent
  By deriving quantities from the model and linking them to costs, you benefit from a verifiable and transparent project evaluation. This improved traceability adds value for everyone involved in the project.

  We integrate the time factor
  The model is enhanced by linking it to schedules. The aim: to visualise construction progress over time. This enables scheduling, analysis and optimisation – including through target/actual comparisons.

  Extending BIM beyond the construction process
  From design through construction to long-term use, ‘as-built’ models offer a digital solution that not only represents the built condition but also provides the basis for the operation, maintenance and management of the building.

  Sustainability and digitalisation united
  Integrating sustainability into the BIM process is a crucial step towards developing and delivering environmentally friendly and resource-efficient construction projects. The model serves as a ‘data repository’ for sustainability metrics and is used as a source for analyses.

  Expertise in model-based project workThe digital transformation of the construction industry requires strong individuals with digital expertise. We’ll equip you for model-based project work! Our programmes not only impart technical know-how, but also foster a shared understanding of roles, strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and support you in applying digital tools effectively in practical project work.

  • Knowledge transfer on model-based working methods and tools (e.g. Dalux, ACC)
  • Teaching specialist content and highlighting overlaps
  • Training courses and workshops on BIM documentation
  • Provision of specific and structured information platforms
  • Organisation of a permanent, interdisciplinary group of participants for knowledge exchange

BIM - FAQ

• What is BIM?

  The abbreviation BIM can stand for both Building Information Modeling and Building Information Management.
  
  Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital working method in which a building is represented in a building information model throughout its entire life cycle. This model contains not only the geometry (3D model) but also information on, for example, materials, quantities, costs, schedules and technical properties. All project stakeholders access a shared, up-to-date database – this makes planning, execution and operation more efficient, transparent and collaborative.
  
  While Building Information Modeling describes the digital model and the underlying methodology, Building Information Management focuses on the organisation of information, collaboration between stakeholders and, consequently, the processes behind it. This involves the structured preparation and quality assurance of all relevant project data, as well as clear responsibilities and roles such as BIM managers or BIM coordinators.
  
  In short: mode ling describes the digital model, whilst management describes the organisation, processes and rules that make it effective.

• What are the benefits of BIM for construction projects?

  BIM enhances a project by creating a shared, reliable database for all stakeholders, thereby making planning, construction and operation significantly more efficient and transparent. The digital model enables conflicts to be identified at an early stage, decisions to be made on a more informed basis, and processes to be better coordinated. At the same time, clearly structured information and coordinated processes promote smooth collaboration across all trades and project phases.
  
  The aim is to use the data generated strategically for design, construction and operation, thereby harnessing the full potential of digital working methods – for higher quality, lower risks and a more cost-effective project overall.
