BIM Management

We know from many investment projects: Professional BIM management does much more than just prevent costly errors. Through transparency, data-based project management and digital collaboration, we create speed and the basis for digital facility management.

Successful and sustainable BIM projects do not depend on the software, but on the quality of the information and the BIM process in practice.
The BIM manager is the person who ensures that this information is structured, up-to-date and reliable. They create clarity in the project, simplify collaboration and ensure that decisions are based on facts rather than assumptions.

How we understand BIM management

As BIM managers, we take on an active, leading role in our projects: we help planning teams to work efficiently, purposefully and digitally.

BIM Manager Client

As BIM managers on the client side, we develop the foundations and define use cases that remain relevant beyond the planning and construction phase - right through to operation. We ensure that the information that will have a real benefit in facility management later on is already created during the project.

BIM manager in the project team

In the project team, we translate the client's requirements into clear objectives, methods and standards. We accompany teams through all phases, structure processes and ensure that information is available at the right time and in the right quality.

3D models enable a realistic representation of the project and the simulation of variants, construction processes, sustainability goals and much more, which reduces risks and costs.

Precise quantity and cost calculations and automatic checks improve project quality and prevent budget overruns.

BIM accompanies the building from planning to operation so that maintenance and subsequent adjustments can be carried out efficiently.

All project information is stored in a shared information environment, avoiding duplication of work and data loss.

BIM facilitates coordination between architects, engineers and contractors, as everyone has access to the same up-to-date data.

The models, information and documents from the BIM method can be used as the basis for a holistic digital twin in the construction phases and during operation.

our workflow

The assessment includes determining the current situation and recommendations for implementing the BIM methodology in your company. We clarify in advance:

  • Are there any urgent immediate measures before the BIM project starts?
  • Is training necessary?
  • Do specifications have to be created?
  • Are the use cases defined?

Together with you, we develop the BIM strategy as a guideline for the effective and efficient application of the methodology. The BIM standards are then developed. 

  • OIR: Organizational Information Requirement - Information requirements related to organizational goals.
  • AIR: Asset Information Request - Information requirements related to the operation of the asset.

The needs of you as a customer and the achievement of customer goals are the focus. These must be recorded and transferred to the projects. To this end, the client information requirements (AIA) are drawn up and applied to every tender and every project.

Each project pursues individual goals that differ according to scope, complexity, property type and planning team. As the BIM manager in the project, we ensure the transfer to the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and manage the application across all project phases.

As BIM managers, we oversee and control the management and use of information. All aspects can be taken into account thanks to the interfaces with the BIM manager client, project management and facility management.

To ensure the sustainable application of the BIM methodology, the BIM manager monitors the transfer of information and models to operations. Our specialists can also ensure that the necessary systems such as builder CDE and CAFM are set up.

BIM is a holistic method that focuses on the integrated collaboration of the entire team and puts the fulfillment of customer goals first. We derive how we plan projects with BIM and which BIM use cases we implement to meet our clients' needs and goals.

Why BIM works in projects

We see time and again that projects are successful when everyone involved works with a common, consistent information model. This centralized data management reduces coordination efforts, minimizes misunderstandings and creates a basis on which teams can make faster and more informed decisions.

BIM makes complexity manageable. It combines planning, construction and operation in a joint digital process - and this process is precisely the reason why deadlines, costs and quality are met much better.

Added value of the BIM methodology - our view from practice

In projects, we observe that frictional losses occur due to scattered information or different data statuses. A properly structured BIM project prevents precisely this: it creates a common, reliable database, makes connections visible and reduces risks.

At the same time, BIM ensures planning reliability across all phases. Precise quantity calculations, clear responsibilities and automated inspection processes keep quality, costs and deadlines stable. And because the model accompanies the entire life cycle, an information base is created that also provides real added value during operation.
