The digitalization of the building and real estate industry and especially the digitalization of project planning is gaining momentum. The BIM technology (Building Information Modeling) has opened up new opportunities for architects and planners for several years now – at least in theory. In practice, cooperation often still fails due to different data formats and software that are not compatible with each other. This challenge of data consolidation is currently being met, first applications are having success and the breakthrough in the building and real estate industry is expected for 2020.
Franz Madl, Managing Director at pbb Planung und Projektsteuerung GmbH: “The big challenge of ‘BIG DATA’ within the planning and building process is that BIM will be PLM (product lifecycle management). Together with our BIMDesigner, we have created the basis for this development!”
Hubert Heinrich, Managing Director at OfficeWare Information Systems GmbH adds: “One decisive factor in the interaction of different software products is the management of data and documents. With the new ‘OfficeWare business server’ a corresponding platform is being created. Thus, automated overviews and research can be generated and all project participants receive the complete relevant data, clearly structured and accessible in real-time.”
Especially the allocation of data to individual components as a part of buildings allows for further applications within BIM. Dr.-Ing. Markus Hennecke, Managing Director at ZM-I: “By processing the building data of a BIM model with our EBB software, we create a digital building logbook (Germ. digitales Bauwerksbuch) including further information on the building structure. The digital building logbook is used throughout the whole lifecycle of a building. Thereby, all people involved receive reliable information – simple, clearly structured and available anytime.”

Moritz Koppe, Managing Director at emproc SYS, the developers of PROBIS: “The actual task is analysing the various data collected by the different participants involved in a real estate project. With our PROBIS software we offer the respectively corresponding interface to all project participants so that they can provide their data and use it effectively.” In practice, all of the four companies have already been using BIMI successfully.
