DeepWood research project launched

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) planning method has become a a fixed component of marketing and reporting, especially when innovation is to be communicated, especially when innovation is to be communicated.

The collaboration of different planning teams and the resulting interface problems cost a lot of energy and effort. interface problems cost a lot of energy and effort today. In the future planners should work simultaneously and across companies on the same model. model simultaneously and across companies.

DeepWood
The DeepWood research project refers to the future further development of BIM maturity level 2 to 3 and takes up the challenge of how collaboration between several users can be realized simultaneously in a common model. can be realized. DeepWood uses the Catia platform for this purpose. It enables the development of real-time, cross-company and collaborative planning in the collaborative planning in timber construction.

Knowledge transfer into practice
An important part of the research project is the exemplary application of the new of the new findings on a real construction project. As a so-called Living Lab is a new apartment building on Blüemlimattweg in Thun. At the moment, the wooden building with five residential units is currently being planned down to the last detail in the Catia platform. In summer, the excavators will drive up and start construction.
