BIM implementation: digital building model in use on the construction site
BIM implementation

BIM that reaches the construction site.

We support clients and construction companies from tender to model-based execution, creating more transparency, quality and efficiency in the project.

The introduction of BIM has been decided – implementing it in the project is the real challenge. Without clear requirements, coordinated processes and hands-on guidance, additional effort, friction and uncertainty quickly arise among the project stakeholders.

For building owners Tendering & project management

We help you define BIM requirements clearly, anchor them in the tender and implement them consistently in the project.

Owner support in implementation

During project delivery we provide technical support to the building owner and ensure that the defined BIM requirements, processes and deliverables are consistently implemented in the project.

  • BIM project management and coordination
  • Quality assurance of the BIM requirements
  • Review of models and deliverables
  • Support for the BIM processes
  • Support with approvals and decisions

BIM implementation in practice

A concrete project shows how BIM requirements can be effectively anchored in the project from tendering to implementation.

Testimonial · Project management
Mit BDFsmart konnten wir das Bauprojekt konsequent modellbasiert und ohne klassische 2D-Pläne umsetzen. BDFsmart koordinierte im BIM-Management die Schnittstelle zwischen Planung und Ausführung. Dabei entstand ein digitaler Zwilling für Ausführungsplanung, Realisierung und Abrechnung sowie als Grundlage für den späteren Betrieb. Die modellbasierte Projektabwicklung unterstützte uns dabei, Termine, Kosten und Qualität einzuhalten.

Frequently asked questions about BIM implementation

Who is BIM implementation suitable for?

Our BIM implementation is aimed at building owners and construction companies that want to implement BIM requirements in real projects in a practical way. Depending on your role, we support you from tendering and project preparation to model-based delivery on site.

At which project stage can we start?

You can start as early as the tendering and project preparation phase, but also during ongoing project delivery. The earlier requirements, roles and processes are agreed, the better BIM can be anchored in the project in a structured way.

Does implementation work with our existing software landscape?

Yes. We work with the project team's existing systems and processes and support the sensible integration of the BIM requirements. What matters is not a particular piece of software, but a functioning flow of information and processes within the project.

Which tasks does BDFsmart take on in the project?

The scope of services is defined for each project. Depending on your needs, we support you with BIM requirements, project execution plans, coordination, model checking, quality assurance, quantity takeoff or model-based delivery on site, for example.

How long does the BIM support last?

The duration depends on the project size, the project stage and the desired scope of services. Support can be provided selectively for individual tasks or across several project stages.
