Our understanding of efficient design processes is based on the targeted use of digital planning tools. Depending on the complexity of the task, our BIM managers develop a tailored software strategy at the beginning of each project—from simple to highly complex. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a central component of our forward-looking planning approach. The focus is not solely on three-dimensional representation, but above all on model-based linking of all relevant information throughout the entire project. The digital model becomes a shared knowledge base, accessible to all participants for coordinated collaboration. Clearly structured data, transparent processes, and traceable decisions ensure quality and improve both planning and implementation.

Efficient planning requires continuous and open exchange with our planning partners. Depending on the task, we create cross-software interfaces to enable collaborative work on the model. The model-based approach has the advantage of transferring essential information without loss. OpenBIM forms the foundation for sustainable and resource-efficient planning processes and sets the conditions for joint optimization. Our BIM planning links extensive data sets with the designed geometry. Areas and volumes can be retrieved just as easily as information on material properties, costs, CO₂ footprint, or lifecycle. Our BIM managers Vitus Barth and Jakub Lech continuously develop our central database. It is an essential tool for planning reliability and quality.

As general planners, we coordinate complex processes and take responsibility for successful implementation. We work with the leading clash detection software Solibri, which allows us to identify and resolve planning errors at an early stage. This proactive coordination helps to avoid unexpected budget overruns. Our experience enables us to work across platforms.

→ In the Central Vocational School project, we used the shared data environment Catenda in the BIM Collaboration Format. Clashes or missing content were reported directly and efficiently resolved in coordination with our planning partners.

→ In the Nordwestbahnhof Education Campus project, we also used digital quality assurance.

"Thanks to our many years of experience with BIM projects, we identify optimization potential already in the early planning stages."

The demands of digital planning are constantly evolving. To remain capable of action, continuous training is essential. Our long-standing experience with digital planning tools and BIM projects allows us to recognize optimization potential in the early planning phases. We are open to new tools and workflows. Our BIM coordinators regularly participate in external seminars and training courses and share their knowledge through internal training sessions. This creates a shared understanding of digital planning—as a tool for more efficient processes and more sustainable architecture.
