BIM
BIM (Building Information Model) is an essential component of the digital transformation we (and our sector) are going through. The main objective of a BIM process is to enhance collaboration by setting up a central platform that serves as a single source of truth/information. Working with BIM has many advantages:
- It is the perfect foundation for material passports, with info on amongst others recyclability and circularity;
- It can help to set up predictive maintenance schemes, improving material and building longevity.
Our digital transformation focuses on creating data and data flows rather than individual drawings, documents and models. This prepares our organisation for the future.
The first step we are taking towards standardisation and uniformity is setting up a central platform, where all project-related information will be stored together.
To facilitate this, the construction site is equipped with a smart board, eliminating the need for printed plans during meetings with constructors. This is not only good for the environment but also convenient for planning changes. Additionally, construction sites are equipped with QR codes, allowing employees to access plans and documents whenever necessary on their phone/tablet.
In recent years, Cordeel has significantly strengthened its BIM (Building Information Modeling) department and has its own drafting offices in Poland and Hungary to fine-tune BIM models, both in terms of structural stability and technical installations. Cordeel has acquired sufficient skills to independently carry out such BIM projects.
