Cologne The Haukeland Hospital for children and young people in Bergen, Norway, shows how modern construction works. The 50,000 square meter building is scheduled for completion this year. It has long since been created as a “digital twin”. The virtual model depicts in detail what is to be built.
Digitization is turning the construction industry upside down. Experts speak of Building Information Modeling, or BIM for short. All data relevant to the construction process is digitally networked. Everyone involved has access to the virtual model. Not only the project manager, but also architects, engineers and construction companies.
The industry speaks of 5D planning because the three-dimensional model is expanded to include time and cost factors. Material consumption and time are calculated automatically and all steps of a construction process are linked. In this way, errors can be detected at an early stage.
