BIM stands for Building Information Modeling and indicates a methodology to optimize
and better manage the phases of design and construction of a building. BIM is used
to follow a working method that involves the generation of a building model that can
also manage the data of the entire life cycle through multi-dimensional virtual models
generated digitally by means of specific software.
The main benefit of adopting the BIM methodology is the 3D representation at the
design stage, which speeds up processes, reduces delivery times and allows errors and
inaccuracies to be detected first. The greater efficiency in sharing information and a
more precise control over all the processes involved, also make it possible to contain
costs and schedule in advance maintenance operations.
BIM is a standard process for all buildings and is being integrated into legislation across
Europe following the transposition of Directive 2014/24/EU on public procurement
which requires its inclusion in the procurement procedures of the Member States. In Italy,
the transposition of the directive took place with Decree no. 560 of December 1, 2017,
which established the methods and time schedules for the progressive introduction of
electronic modelling methods and tools for construction and infrastructure. The decree
provides for the obligation to operate with the BIM methodology from January 1, 2019
for works worth more than 100 million euros and then from 2019 to 2025 will be
introduced in Italy the obligation for all contracts for new public works.
BIM ready
Planner is a useful tool that Ekinex® makes available on the website www.ekinex.com to
create your own project, define the requirements of a home automation system, choose
the most suitable finishes and give a personal touch to the control points of the system.
There are four simple steps to use the Planner:
1) CREATE YOUR PROJECT
Configures the product with the possibility of inserting a plan in which to place the
several elements
2) CHOOSE
Allows you to select devices, versions, materials and finishes
3) OBTAIN
Produces a complete list of codes to forward the request for quote
4) SAVE
Allows you to manage the list of projects according to individual needs
