The Building Programming is a central component of BIM planning across all project phases. Any relevant information is collected in one place and can be viewed, edited, managed and evaluated by the project team.
The Building Programming is model-based and merges information from different sources and formats over open interfaces. Each project participant is provided with specific permissions and an agile and tailored view of the project. This requires a coordinated information and naming convention. Furthermore, an underlying organizational structure in the form of an online-based, normalized database is mandatory. Additional information as qualities, room categories, requirements, material qualities, equipment lists, etc. should also be displayed.
The Building Programming not only makes planning coordination more transparent and easier. It is also a platform that is interacting with many other use cases of the creation and delivery phase. Usages and instruments such as evaluations, tenders, LEAN and logistics planning and acceptance are based on structured spatial data. It should be possible to bring builders and engineers closer to the project and to provide a basis for better decisions. Finally, a smooth transfer to Facility Management should be ensured by a smart interface.
