BIM models are often inconsistent, incomplete and difficult to use directly in your own processes. Manual processing is time-consuming, error-prone and requires specialist knowledge. Simplebim offers a powerful solution for this: a fully automated, open and centrally managed workflow that converts raw models into usable, structured and reproducible information.

During DigiBouw, Finnish software company Datacubist shows how you can really use BIM data to realize projects smarter. For more than 15 years Datacubist has been developing Simplebim® which is now used by more than 500 leading organizations worldwide, from contractors and building owners to designers, engineering firms and data specialists.

Automation, always reproducible

"With Simplebim's unique Dataflow technology, BIM processing is fully automated and centrally managed" says Sakari Lehtinen, co-founder of Datacubist. "You get structured and enriched data that is immediately usable for a variety of applications. No more manual operations, but a reproducible approach that saves time, prevents errors and adds value: reduced model requirements, shared reliable data, automatic analyses, reports and visualizations."

From data to action: grip on quantities, planning and more

Gerard van Booma, founder of BBBDC, as Dutch Simplebim reseller underlines the practical advantage: "With Simplebim, construction professionals can work with their data in a targeted and scalable way, e.g. for quantities, cost estimates, logistics, planning, procurement, tendering, energy analysis, management & maintenance. It is an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to work data-driven."
