BIM-based Planning in Timber Construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We want to start a new discussion about the implementation of BIM in industrialised timber construction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood is establishing itself as an ecological and versatile material that evokes emotions and enables high-tech applications in construction. The current state of the art in prefabricated timber construction opens the door to Industry 4.0 in construction. At the same time, on the design side, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is becoming an increasingly important method. With BIM, digital networking takes place with the aim of improving the quality of planning, speeding up the construction process and supporting sustainable building life cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the pressure to implement BIM is growing, there is a lack of conceptual frameworks and agreements that enable a seamless flow of data between design and construction. The potential of digital capabilities and new methodologies is under-utilised due to an analogue-focused understanding of design. Finally, a lack of understanding of the real information needs of timber contractors leads to over-informed models and data clutter with sometimes conflicting information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can digitisation fully realise its potential for the implementation of Industry 4.0 in timber construction? To answer this question, the BIMwood project team has explored controversial situations, identified challenges and opportunities, and initiated exploratory test planning.<\/strong>\n\n <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
