What are our next steps?

• Integrate more disciplines:

• MEP (analysis, design, collision checks)

• Infrastructural design

• 4th dimension with equipment and site installation

• Controlling of execution of construction

29/10/2013 32



Where are our limits?

• Databases are very big for infrastructural design

• International BIM standards for cooperation with stakeholders

• Company policies have to be established

• Own content has to be developed and tested

• Team has to be trained and needs more time in learning curve

29/10/2013 33



Where are our benefits so far?

• More stakeholders adapt the 5D method

• Quantities

• Change management

• Simulation

• Easier comprehension of visualized structures

• Collision checks

• Big share of entire project life cycle in „one“ hand
