BIM at STRABAG

Abstract

Modern construction projects can be designed, built and operated more efficiently and to a higher quality when knowledge is shared quickly and transparently. With BIM.5D^®, STRABAG SE has been advancing the vision of a “digital construction site” since the late 1990s. The “5D” stands for the 3D model + time (4D) + process data (5D), thus adding all relevant process information to the product-oriented building information model. BIM.5D^® involves the client and all project participants from the start of a project and facilitates the interdisciplinary gathering and analysis of data to generate valuable information. One of the many benefits BIM.5D^® offers is the transfer of knowledge that increases the quality and the efficiency of the final product. Since project data is digitally captured, combined, and linked over the entire lifecycle of a construction project, the result is a comprehensible, transparent and resilient information network for everyone involved in a project.
