Munich, July 8, 2021 - Bimplus from ALLPLAN, global provider of BIM solutions for the AEC industry, has been certified, as one of the first OPEN BIM platforms, \u200b in the BIM Collaboration product group as part of the BIMSWARM research \u200b project. The BIMSWARM project pursues the goal of advancing the digitalization of the construction industry and developing standards and solutions for this purpose. The core of the project is an open \u200b platform of applications, services and content for BIM-based planning, \u200b execution and operation of buildings. The focus is on the certification \u200b and evaluation of software solutions based on vendor-neutral BIM \u200b interfaces.
"The demanding certification criteria of BIMSWARM \u200b contain all the essential functions and safety aspects that are \u200b indispensable in the cooperation of the various project participants. We \u200b are pleased that Bimplus fully meets these requirements. Users can be \u200b confident that they are using a platform that enables effective \u200b cloud-based data and information management throughout the entire \u200b project lifecycle and thus transparent BIM workflows," says Thomas Müller, Product Manager Interoperability at ALLPLAN.
Bimplus \u200b supports the central, database-supported management of building models \u200b and documents as well as issue management through OPEN BIM workflows. \u200b This increases productivity and simplifies the collaboration of \u200b interdisciplinary teams. In this way, project goals such as budget and \u200b time targets are reliably met.
Marketplace and software platform in one
OPEN \u200b BIM is increasingly becoming the preferred tool of choice when it comes \u200b to uniform data standards for all parties involved in a construction \u200b project. Misinterpretation of native data can quickly lead to costly \u200b construction defects. Companies are therefore increasingly using \u200b software solutions that support the secure exchange of data on the basis \u200b of open standards. This is precisely the goal of the BIMSWARM research \u200b project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and \u200b Energy under the leadership of the German initiative planen bauen 4.0.
"The \u200b certification is further confirmation of the success of our strategy to \u200b develop solutions that can be seamlessly integrated into any OPEN BIM \u200b workflow," says Stefan Kaufmann, Product Manager BIM Strategy and New Technologies at ALLPLAN. "Through \u200b integration across system and manufacturer boundaries and our \u200b commitment to OPEN BIM, we are contributing to future-proof digitization \u200b in the construction industry, where all project participants retain \u200b sovereignty over their data," Stefan Kaufmann continues.
On \u200b the one hand, BIMSWARM serves as an information portal and marketplace \u200b for BIM solutions. On the other hand, it forms a platform that enables \u200b the interaction of software solutions for construction-related \u200b sub-processes. Companies can find BIM-certified software solutions for \u200b their respective areas on BIMSWARM - including the just-certified OPEN \u200b BIM platform Bimplus as well as the certified BIM CAD solution Allplan.
With its expertise in digital processes in construction projects, ALLPLAN supports BIMSWARM as an associated partner.
