To be able to deliver project without drawings I could summarize requirements as: All relevant construction information has to be shown in the model viewer software available on the construction site, each information piece has only one place it can be managed from and everything has to be reachable through the cloud.   The harder question is how to deliver that in practice. We need software right?   So with each procurement, before the project made the decision on what to use, we had to ensure that software fits into our needs. We defined them as:   1. Supporting open standards: IFC, BCF workflow 2. Operating on huge models (over 100GB of IFC files) 3. Understanding IFC User Defined Property Sets and ability to use them (as flags for example) 4. Possibility to define own Primary Key and Foreign Key properties 5. Level of cooperation with other software in our package - None - impossible to connect - Low - connection via Excel import/exports - Medium - connection via IFC/BCF files - High - connection via APIs   Do you want to read more about software flow in the model-based construction project?

There are 5 common mistakes fresh BIM Coordinators make in their job 👇 Ignacy Lozinski  from our team gathered them in 1 condense article. Here is a sneak peek. #1 Most frequent frustration for new BIM Coordinators is dealing with 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 due to poorly understood coordinate systems. #2 - Diving into 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Often fresh BIM Coordinators run a general clash detection tests without focusing on the areas that matter most. #3 Lack of prioritization of coordination issues. Remember that  - 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, #4 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀, such as PDFs or Excel spreadsheets, to communicate issues with the rest of the team. #5 Meetings are a vital part of BIM Coordination, but 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 can waste time and leave teams feeling more confused than before. In the article you will find advice how to avoid these mistakes and make your BIM Coordinators life easier. Have a read👇: https://lnkd.in/dk3v8vse

We’ve got a fresh blog post on openBIM - perfect if you need a quick (but thorough) refresher! We’ve broken down the essentials of these five buildingSMART standards/tools that can seriously streamline your workflow: -> IFC (Industry Foundation Classes): An open format ensuring that different BIM tools can speak the same language. -> BCF (BIM Collaboration Format): A lightweight way to share comments and issues without lugging around huge model files. -> bSDD (buildingSMART Data Dictionary): Think of it as a universal glossary, so everyone is clear on what each element means. -> IDS (Information Delivery Specification): A checklist for making sure your model has every piece of information it needs. -> Validation Service: An online inspector that confirms your IFC file meets buildingSMART’s criteria. Curious about how all this ties together in real projects? Check out the full post from Marcin P. on our blog (link below) to see how these tools can help you share data more easily and keep your projects on track!

🌍 Bring GIS Data to Life in Grasshopper! Want to integrate real-world geographic data into your projects? This article by BIM Corner’s guest authors Agata Firlej and Anna Lukasik explains how to do it! Discover how GIS data can help you: ✅ Build models based on real locations. ✅ Understand site conditions better. ✅ Simplify urban and infrastructure design. Grasshopper, a tool in Rhino 3D, makes it easy to import GIS data like buildings, roads, and terrain from shapefiles. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g_GJfi6i Have questions or ideas?

🏗️Say goodbye to bending schedules and 2D reinforcement drawings! 🙌 Which will give: 🔹 Process optimization 🔹 Fewer errors 🔹 Faster production and installation 🚀 With the digital reinforcement with BVBS on a drawingless construction site🚀 In the construction industry, we’re leveraging increasingly advanced tools. With BIM, we have detailed 3D models, cross-disciplinary coordination, and automation. But how do we transfer all this information to the construction site? 🤔 In our latest article by Konrad Naborczyk, we take a look at how digital reinforcement and the BVBS format are changing the process of ordering and installing reinforcement. 👉👉👉 Read the article here https://lnkd.in/dJyJ5yED Designers send models directly to contractors in the .ifc format, and BVBS allows for automatic generation of reinforcement codes — no more manual data entry. Implementing digital reinforcement saves time and costs, eliminating manual errors in the traditional workflow. Want to learn how this works in practice?

Struggles of Unique Coding in BIM—and How to Conquer Them Raising the digitalisation level requires changes.   No change comes without additional hassle and effort.   Objects’ unique coding gives many possibilities but also has requirements to fulfil.     1. Creating correct values Manual or cumbersome process to encode objects in models. Solution: Create a coding script or deploy a database solution. 2. Data validation process Additional complex values to check. Software missing functionality. Solution: Create data validation rule templates and automate the checking process. 3. Maintaining data consistency and uniqueness Maintaining complex values across multiple systems used in the construction process is hard. Solution: Connect systems using automated processes or within a dashboard. 4. Late design changes Late design changes that disrupt the construction process. Solution: Introduce a rigid change process and limit the personnel allowed to implement changes.   Interested?
