Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become the established planning standard in the construction industry. This digital, model-based approach to planning enables all project stakeholders to collaborate seamlessly based on consistent, structured information.

The Weber BIM service, including access to structured BIM data, is provided centrally through Saint‑Gobain.

BIM as a planning standard in the construction industry

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital working method that brings together all the relevant information about a building in a shared model. Its purpose is to enable consistent and transparent planning throughout all project phases.

As a planning method, BIM can support the following aspects in particular:

  • improved coordination between all project stakeholders
  • structured planning and tendering processes
  • greater transparency in terms of planning, costs and schedules
  • early identification of planning ambiguities and conflicts
  • a more robust basis for decision-making in early project phases
  • reduction of overall and life-cycle costs over the course of the project

BIM at Saint‑Gobain – a central platform and advisory services

BIM is organised centrally within the Saint-Gobain Group. This provides the basis for delivering structured BIM data, as well as a range of advisory and support services related to BIM-based planning processes.

This consolidation ensures that:

  • uniform standards are maintained
  • consistent data structures are enabled and
  • BIM topics are coordinated across brands
