BIM involves not only processing the rooms in 3D on the computer, but also equipping these digital building models with facility technology. Sockets or lamps not only have a geometry (shape) in the model, but also provide additional information that supports the planning, realisation and later operation. Thus, a digital model is already realised in the planning stage, a twin of what is subsequently to be built.
BIM makes it possible! The following short clip provides a first insight into the digital twin of the plant 5.

For example, collisions of building service pipes can be avoided or the dimensions of access can be realistically determined at an early stage. This method makes the entire project more transparent and tangible for all participants. BIM and the model in the cloud open up a variety of other advantages for the interdisciplinary networked teams. For example, upcoming decisions can be visualised in the model and made collectively, meetings take place online and digital communication is possible in real time. Collaboration is efficient and effective.
