BIM is not just a digital tool for architects and contractors, it is increasingly a business enabler. BIM & More Orchestra gives you access to thousands of construction projects worth €25 billion. Onboarding is faster than ever.
For manufacturers of building materials and components, Building Information Modelling (BIM) represents both the greatest opportunity and the greatest challenge. On the one hand, it has never been easier to embed products and solutions in architects' plans and thus be specified as a leading product. On the other hand, the demands on the supply of BIM data have never been higher. Manufacturers need to provide BIM content that meets the growing demands of specifiers and architects. They need a wide range of information in increasingly complex design processes. That is why we have developed BIM & More Orchestra - the first product data delivery tool designed with the needs of specifiers in mind. The benefits: quick and easy onboarding, an automated quality gate for BIM data and direct access to more than 4,000 construction projects with an annual construction volume of around €25 billion.
Industry's fastest onboarding process
Industrial customers with several hundred to a thousand solution variants in their product portfolio can breathe a sigh of relief. Because: BIM & More Orchestra offers the fastest onboarding process in the industry. Whether you have 100 or 10,000 products in your portfolio, the number of products and system solutions plays a secondary role in the process of translating product data into BIM objects with BIM & More Orchestra. Our web-based SaaS solution connects to the product data management (PDM) system, pulls all data from the PIM system and automatically translates it into BIM data. Where attributes are missing, they are enriched and completed. Data quality is guaranteed by the sophisticated quality gate of our BIM & More BIM infrastructure.
First industrial BIM solution designed with the industry in mind
BIM & More differs significantly from any other BIM solution for manufacturers of building materials and building products on the market. This is because our solution has been developed in close cooperation with the largest planning offices in Germany. As a result, BIM & More contains more than 25,000 predefined and modelled BIM objects. This eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming modelling of 3D geometry in the industry.
All BIM objects in our infrastructure have been created by designers for designers. They have already been used thousands of times in product-neutral or product-specific ways, ensuring their suitability throughout the BIM design process. In addition, BIM & More links all relevant design, configuration, tender, accounting and FM tools, providing the only end-to-end BIM infrastructure for the design industry.
Single sourcing: low effort and guaranteed data quality
Another advantage over other BIM solutions is that the connection between BIM & More Orchestra and the manufacturer's PIM system creates an automation and update workflow that permanently reduces the workload. All changes in the manufacturer's PIM system are automatically reflected in BIM & More Orchestra. This eliminates the need for manufacturers to regularly compare and update published BIM objects with the changed product data. In addition, for the first time, the construction industry is providing its BIM data with a seal of approval, enabling designers and architects to ensure that the BIM objects they use are always up to date. A number of design firms are already relying exclusively on BIM data that can guarantee this level of data quality.
One choice - thousands of users
A huge leap in sales is a great added value for all building materials manufacturers working with BIM & More Orchestra. All BIM data is stored in our ProductCloud Harmony, which is connected to around 2,000 designers and architects and a further 3,000 construction professionals who use the products provided by our ProductCloud in their design work. This enables industrial customers to participate directly in the project volume of more than 4,000 construction projects. This corresponds to an annual construction volume of €25 billion, which is handled via the BIM & More ProductCloud Harmony. BIM & More thus guarantees a cooperative and participative collaboration between industry and designers. With BIM & More Orchestra, industry enables designers and architects to transfer their products and solutions directly into their digital twins. Always optimised for the respective planning phase. Always up to date.
Megatrend sustainability: Fit for the circular economy with BIM & More Orchestra
Product information is the central building block for the transition to a circular economy. With the impending requirement for buildings to be able to produce a Circular Building Passport, building material manufacturers will need to prepare their product data to include information on material composition, production method, service life, reparability and recycling options. Without this information, they will no longer be able to meet the demands of a builder or investor in the near future. This is because access to transparent product information is the only way to consider the recyclability of a product. If manufacturers do not meet these basic requirements when preparing their data, they will no longer be considered in the future, because the client will no longer be able to meet his obligations to provide the required circularity value for the building.
With BIM & More Orchestra, manufacturers are already meeting all the requirements of the soon to be legally binding circular economy. For example, product data is transferred to the Madaster database, which is used to generate a building material passport. This means that manufacturers are already ready for the circular economy and that buildings will take on a whole new quality.
