BIM-Connected, together with its partners TenneT and Qirion (part of Alliander), has been selected for our joint submission of inspiring examples of digital collaboration in our sector. Out of 45 submitters, we are selected for the shortlist of 10 initiatives.

The aim of this initiative was to provide TenneT, as a client, with structured and reliable information from its contractors. This is based on (open) standards in the industry, such as ISO19650, IFC, Linked Data (W3C) and ISO 21597 (ICDD containers). What makes this initiative special is that we have achieved the goal by using an ongoing project as a case study, involving key stakeholders and evaluating and improving together. TenneT as the client that set up requirements and preconditions, Qirion as contractor that carries out the project and has to deliver data back in accordance with these requirements and preconditions. And BIM-Connected as a specialist in digital information management and how to apply the aforementioned open standards .

This case has shown that the client and the contractor can work more efficiently and qualitatively by developing a good ILS (information delivery specification), correctly applying open standards and subsequently requiring less labour-intensive work due to the automatic data checks that can be performed. will be on the data provided.

Want to know more about this case? Or how you as a client or contractor can exchange (project) data more efficiently, faster and automated? Read our ‘data exchange’ blogs (in Dutch) on our website or contact us.

Are you drowning in data to optimize the maintenance of your buildings? Curious about how BIM can help you structure your Asset information? Interested in the BIM visualization of the state of your physical asset?

Data-driven Facility Management is one of the core themes for 2022. This is endorsed by FMN – Facility Management Netherlands. BIM-Connected does a lot in this area. We are convinced that the BIM philosophy provides added value for Facility Management.

On a technological level, we work on cases in which a BIM-model is linked to a Facility Management system. This improves the representation (or digital twin), by combining the asset data from earlier life phases with new information.

Our easily applicable and light-weight tool BIM-Bridge bridges the gap between the BIM-model and the Facility Management system. Data can easily be added bi-directionally, creating valuable information for analyses, controls and decisions.

Would you like to know more about how BIM-Connected optimizes your facility management processes? Follow our publications, webinars or contact us for a good conversation or demo!

(internal) Knowledge sharing is a high priority at BIM-Connected. Started again today with a knowledge session at the office. This was about the strengths of BIM-Bridge (demo). Next week discussion and question and answer on: Why semantic web / linked data? The week after: Reasoning and semantics workshop.

Glad we can do this again at the office!

Monday 6th and Wednesday 8th of September some of our consultants were on two inspiring days of the SEMANTiCS Conference in Amsterdam. Interesting and cool talks about new technologies, innovations and enterprise implementations in the fields of Linked Data and Semantic AI.

In 2021, BIM-Connected and study association Of CoUrsE! will provide a guest lecture and a workshop for students of the master track Construction, Management and Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology. We are also present at the business orientation day to introduce everyone to the core business of BIM-Connected. We help students with relevant graduation topics and/or internship within our team!

As part of this collaboration, Jakko Heinen and Bob van Thiel gave a presentation about BIM-Connected on the 10th of December. Topics as Linked Data and IFC were discussed. This presentation was part of the course “Fundamentals of BIM”.

BIM-Connected exists 3 years! 🎈

Over the past year, our team has grown considerably and we are still happy to maintain one of our core values, ‘Keigezellig’ (= fun!). During this festive day we would normally certainly drink a beer together at our office in Eindhoven.

Instead, this year we took a fun photo with our new logo 👇
