Building Information Modelling

One of the main drivers of technological innovation in the construction sector is Building Information Modelling (BIM). This methodology enables information sharing and communication with all stakeholders, at all stages of a project's life cycle, through digital models accessible by software, which enable virtual manipulation of the construction

The CCG/ZGDV Institute develops digital solutions based on BIM models, with the aim of supporting the digital transition in the construction sector and promoting more efficient and collaborative project management. These solutions have been developed in partnership with public and private entities linked to the construction sector, enabling better collaboration between the parties involved in each project

ACTIVITIES

The CCG/ZGDV supports organisations through the following activities:

Development of digital solutions that facilitate visualisation, interaction and interpretation throughout the life cycle of a construction project
Creation of web interfaces for asset management, desktop and mobile tools for use in construction planning (BIM 4D), AI applications based on BIM models, digital twins, among others

Interaction with public and private entities, enabling better collaboration between the parties involved and knowledge of market needs
Knowledge of standardisation, both nationally and internationally, of BIM methodology and the entire ecosystem that supports it

BENEFITS

Effective collaboration and communication

Create a shared digital environment with all stakeholders in the project, with real-time updates, reducing communication errors and rework

Better conflict detection and problem anticipation

Before starting construction, BIM allows you to identify incompatibilities between different systems, reducing delays and unforeseen costs and increasing planning reliability

Sustainability, operation and maintenance

From the design stage onwards, BIM allows energy performance analyses to be carried out and different usage scenarios to be simulated, contributing to more sustainable and efficient solutions. After construction, the BIM model continues to be useful as a database for asset management, maintenance, operations and future renovations, facilitating the management of the building throughout its life cycle

More efficient planning and management

It is possible to make accurate estimates of quantities, materials and costs right from the design stage, facilitating budgeting, reducing waste and total execution time
