What is a BIM Viewer and why it is indispensable for construction companies

Construction companies and facility managers often face difficulties in the collaborative management of complex construction projects, especially when using different software tools that do not communicate with each other. In this context, the main need is to have a centralized platform that simplifies collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, while ensuring the security of confidential data and avoiding exposure on unprotected platforms. In addition, it becomes essential to rely on tools that support real-time monitoring of buildings and offer solutions for predictive maintenance, so as to optimize operations and reduce intervention time.

Reduced operating costs through predictive maintenance.
Increased productivity with centralized data management.
Improved sustainability through energy simulations and resource optimization.

Frequently asked questions about BIM

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is building software that enables the creation of 3D digital models of buildings, improving their design, construction and management, facilitating collaboration among professionals and reducing errors through a federated view of projects.

The IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) is an open, standardized file format for exchanging data between BIM software. The IFC can be viewed using BIM software that allows 3D models to be explored and the data in the file to be consulted.

CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is software used primarily for 2D and 3D design of building elements, focusing on geometry and graphical representation. BIM (Building Information Modeling), on the other hand, is a process that integrates advanced information on all phases of the building life cycle, from design to operation.

The BIM requirement varies by country and local regulations. In Italy, it will be mandatory for public procurement starting January 1, 2025.
