Building Information Modeling (BIM) — also referred to as Building Information Management — is a digital, model-based working method that has been an integral part of the planning and construction processes at BFK architekten since 2015. BIM is based on a virtual information model of the planned building, containing all planning-relevant data — such as materials, quantities, schedules and technical information — in a structured format. This central model provides the foundation for comprehensive, continuous project delivery, from the initial design through to the operational and maintenance phase of a building.
At BFK architekten, BIM is used regardless of project size. Even smaller, complex construction projects benefit from structured, data-driven planning with BIM and our clearly defined BIM management process.

All project stakeholders — including architects, specialist planners, contractors, clients and, at a later stage, facility managers — access a synchronized, cloud-based data environment in which all information is available in real time and kept up to date. BIM thus serves as the central interface and coordination platform for all disciplines. Even after the building has been completed, the model remains a valuable tool for clients, for example, for monitoring cleaning cycles or planning maintenance measures.
