Fraunhofer Institute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technology IGCVNot meeting cost targets in factory construction
In Germany, over 5,800 factory buildings are built every year with a total volume of 4.72 billion Euros. Around 60% of these projects fail to meet their cost targets due to information deficiencies that make planning, approval procedures and coordination more difficult.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is intended to provide a solution in order to bundle all information in one place whicht helps to quickly identify and correct miscalculations or errors.
The FaBIM research project aims to develop a holistic approach for the planning, construction and operating phases of a factory. The aim is to create a common openBIM-based data environment (Common Data Environment) to enable the exchange and management of project and product information based on the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC).
