Digital building planning with BIM products The world is becoming an increasingly digital place. In the building industry, Building Information Modelling (BIM) allows planning, construction and operation to be better coordinated. This improves quality and enhances planning security. Digital BIM data for SAUTER products can be found at bim.sauter-controls.com.
It is no secret that building projects can spring many surprises. The later they emerge during construction, the bigger the consequence on deadlines and cost. Planning of different equipment systems is often poorly connected – from a technical aspect and across the whole life cycle. BIM improves cooperation between technical planners, with a significant impact on quality, productivity, timescales and cost. In some EU countries, BIM is therefore already compulsory for publicly-funded building projects.

A model for the whole life cycle Planners, architects and building contractors are increasingly seeing the advantages of digital BIM methods. Buildings can be developed and operated with digital data accessible to each specialist involved. All building data is recorded over its entire life cycle. The first step is creating a model for testing the new building project. The guiding principle: “measure twice, cut once”.
