BIM2Field

BIM2Field allows observing the BIM model of the future building without leaving the construction site, at the correct location, with the correct dimensions and data.

Küsi Lisa

BIM2Field allows observing the BIM model of the future building in such a way that the future structure is placed in a real environment, with the correct dimensions and data. BIM2Field is a necessary tool for both the craftsman as well as for site managers. 3D models are easy to understand and help to solve complicated situations without leaving the construction site.

How does BIM2Field work?

The 3D BIM model of the building is opened with the help of a smart application and displayed with the help of the camera in the surrounding environment through augmented reality (AR). The models can be viewed from both smartphones and tablets. Using precise positioning, it is possible, for example, to install the foundation and pipes of the building directly to the planned location.

Understanding the working processes

BIM2Field makes the understanding of work processes and design information smoother. All of the information required for building can be found in BIM2Field. The same application, with uniform information, can be used by subcontractors, site managers, as well as construction supervision. With BIM2Field, a unified, visual understanding of the design emerges on the construction site. The number of misunderstandings decreases, money and time will be saved by avoiding errors in
communication and construction.

Benefits of BIM2Field:

Understandability – BIM2Field is easily understandable for all parties. The application is user-friendly and simple.
Efficiency – Time will be saved both thanks to the simplicity of the models and decreased communication with the parties.
Common understanding – All parties have access to the same 3D model, which decreases the number of misunderstandings and information blockages.

In what cases is the service needed?

BIM2Field is highly useful tool for projects which are more complex than average, such as projects where many different parties are involved. BIM2Field creates a base which helps to increase the efficiency of the project. All parties see the same 3D model, which is detailed and easily understandable. The number of fixing works and reworks will be decreased, which increases the profitability of the project significantly!

Centralising construction data

BIM2Field is especially useful for larger developments, where several construction companies are operating. Updating the necessary information and communicating and explaining it to all parties takes up a lot of valuable time. Centralising and visualising the information increases the efficiency of the work significantly and decreases the number of misunderstandings.

Main contractor

Only one relevant BIM model is in use. This same BIM model is also uploaded to the BIM2Field application. There is no need to create separate working drawings. Information flows smoothly from the office to the construction site and vice versa. It is possible to follow the stage of completion of the project and future work stages from the same model.

Subcontractors

Information coming from the main contractor moves directly to the builders operating on the construction site. It is no longer necessary to forward information like a game of telephone; important information will not be lost. Everything you need is in one place, understandable to everyone.

Project management, execution of supervision

Due to the parametric design, there is a lot of additional information in the building’s BIM model: manufacturers, serial numbers, planned dates of works, correct locations, etc. This information is also stored in BIM2Field. Implementing BIM2Field makes project management more efficient and transparent. When changes are made, the information is easily changeable through the application. The work of construction supervision is also simplified. Potential errors will be revealed quickly, and the information needed for checking is also just a few taps away.

Supervision

The information required for performing construction supervision together with visual representation is accessible from all smart devices. In addition to the basic information, the model contains also a lot of additional information. Non-conformities can be noted directly to the model, thereby also informing the relevant parties!

Site managers/project managers

BIM2Field allows monitoring project advancement. After completing the works, it is possible to check the conformity to the design. Decreases the time spent on checking.

Easy to understand

In general, 2D drawings are still used on construction sites. Compared to 2D, 3D is much more intuitive, comprehensible, and detailed. Due to the very nature of the parametric design, there are also fewer errors in the models. BIM2Field is a perfect addition to the BIM model of a structure!

Construction workers

3D models are simple and intuitive. 3D is the most understandable medium for humans. After all, we perceive the world in 3D. In addition, the model contains all the information needed for work.

Designers

A 3D model is significantly more detailed than a 2D drawing. In case of changes or non-conformities, the information moves directly to the 3D model, after which it is possible to create the necessary changes in the BIM model. Throughout the whole project, only one model is needed – the BIM model.

Workflow in BIM2Field

First step

First, the 3D BIM model is needed.

Second step

The next step consists of inserting a BIM model into BIM2Field and distributing it to all parties. The model in BIM2Field can be monitored from all smart devices equipped with a camera. The camera is necessary for the functioning of the augmented reality (AR).
