What is BIM?
"Building Information Modelling" is a planning method in the construction industry to represent the technical properties of a building in 3D. For this purpose, a "digital twin" is created before construction begins, which contains all the parts needed for this purpose.
BIM aims to make project management more efficient and cost-effective. In many countries, it is already mandatory in public tenders. In addition to reduced construction time and better calculable costs, this construction method has other advantages:
- Error prevention: collisions in the building can be detected and corrected immediately
- Increased productivity: all parties involved have access to the digital twin and can see changes immediately
- Technology: CAD geometries contain all technically relevant information (metadata)
