BIM tools for BIM designers and sustainability professionals

There are currently 525 materials, 43 building systems and 44 objects and complex systems stored in the BIM & More Metronome Cockpit (as of 23 November 2023) and the number is growing. These are generic datasets that provide an industry average, not product specific EPDs. By linking BIM & More Metronome, our software solution for architects & designers, with BIM & More Orchestra, our software solution for industry, more and more product specific EPDs will become available.

The datasets specifically cover the modules required by each system. For example, for QNG these are A1-A3, C3 and C4. B4 is calculated over the lifetime of the material and B6 is balanced over the specified energy consumption.

The following values are stored at material level: GWP Fossil (A1-A3) | GWP Total (A1-A3, C3, C4) | GWP total (QNG) | PENRT (A1-A3, C3, C4) | AP (A1-A3, C3, C4) | EP (A1-A3, C3, C4).

At the project level, a distinction is made between the life-cycle CO2 balance of the building, the CO2 balance of the building's production and the life-cycle primary energy balance, for each of which an absolute value, an annual area value and a percentage by which the CO2 balance could be reduced compared to the reference value are shown. 

Yes, in addition to the pre-defined datasets, you can create your own datasets for materials, building systems, objects, etc. - generic or specific.

Cost data can be manually added to all elements. We are working with the Madaster platform to determine the residual material value after the building has been depreciated. An IFC file of the finished building model is currently uploaded to Madaster for this purpose. However, a direct connection is planned for 2024/Q1, which will make it even easier to exchange data.

The integration of cost group 400 according to DIN 276 is planned for 2024, taking into account VDI 3805.

BIM & More is a SaaS solution. This means there is no upfront purchase or other maintenance costs.  You purchase an annual licence which is renewed for 12 months at a time. The annual licence includes both purchase and maintenance.

Licence fees for companies with an annual turnover of up to €5 million start at €490 / 5 users (monthly payment) or €4,900 / 5 users (annual payment) and vary depending on your company's turnover. Please contact our sales team using the appropriate button above and we will send you a full licensing overview.

All software updates are included in the annual licence. The number of users can be increased by purchasing additional user packs (5 users per pack).

In developing BIM & More, we have taken great care to make it as user-friendly as possible. To this end, we have been and continue to be in regular dialogue with architectural firms and have integrated industry standard processes. We offer the following integrated features in our tool: 

• Wiki
• Helpdesk with ticketing system for technical & user issues

All support requests are entered into our ticket system:

The elimination of malfunctions and failures of the platform, e.g. through troubleshooting, is included in the licence price (technical support).

Application support (e.g. user training) is not included in the monthly licence price. Application support services are subject to separate service level agreements.

Please contact our sales team.

Depending on requirements and agreement, we offer both an initial introductory workshop on the use of the tool and general project support. Based on your project requirements, an analysis can be conducted to develop appropriate strategies for efficiently integrating your existing BIM libraries into the BIM & More environment.

Currently, different variants of a project can be opened and calculated separately.
