Building Information Modeling (BIM) has now become the standard method in planning and construction. For us, it has been a matter of course for years to digitally link the building model with relevant information for the entire building life cycle.

In our projects, during the planning phase, we create a digital model of the building that includes all relevant data such as materials, costs, lifespan, and fire protection. This model serves as a foundation, allowing us to coordinate different disciplines like architecture, structural engineering, and building services early in the process. The use of BIM provides our clients with a realistic insight into the planned building at an early stage.

Additionally, at SCD, we offer BIM management services. Here, we address crucial questions:

• What goals does the client aim to achieve with the implementation of BIM?
• Which stakeholders should actively participate in the BIM process?
• Which use cases are meaningful and necessary for the specific project?
• What information is relevant for the later building operation?

From our extensive experience, we understand that a misunderstood use of BIM does not lead to the desired optimizations in the construction and operation process. The groundwork for this is laid at the beginning of a project. Our principle is: as much BIM as necessary, as little BIM as possible.
