Construction projects face
numerous challenges
• Unbudgeted costs
• Unreliable schedule
• Insufficient quality
• Environmental impact during construction
• Accidents on construction sites
• Planning errors
• Inaccurate, incomplete plans
• Lack of cooperation
• Difficulty of interdisciplinary realization
2
How can those
challenges be met?
The future of the construction industry
is digital – and built upon a holistic
­approach, that connects all parties involved.
The result: clear structures, efficient
­processes, less costs, no information loss and
higher quality across the entire lifecycle.
Process
• Holistic process optimization
• Reduction of interfaces
Quality
• Eliminate double work
Data
• Consistent data
• Enriched data (new dimensions)
• Accessible data
Time
Tools
• Coordinated planning tools
• Testing and model checking (e.g. clash detection)
• Simulation and analytics (big data approach)
Cost
• Optimization

BIM is a synonym for digitalization
in the construction industry
BIM is the equivalent of digitalization in the construction industry:
A digitally supported process for planning, constructing and operating buildings
that enables a significant productivity increase in the construction industry.

For the entire lifecycle
We offer you a unique, holistic view
on the whole building lifecycle …
BIM creates clear structures – from the first idea to the final rebuild.
The result: less construction time, precisely defined tasks and increased
efficiency over the entire building lifecycle.

Our world is undergoing changes that force us to think in new
ways: demographic change, urbanization, global warming
and resource shortages. Maximum efficiency has top priority –
and not only where energy is concerned. In addition, we need
to increase comfort for the well-being of users. Also, our need
for safety and security is constantly growing. For our customers,
success is defined by how well they manage these challenges.
Siemens has the answers.
“We are the trusted technology partner for energy-efficient,
safe and secure buildings and infrastructure.”
