Design Department
7 different dicsiplines
(~250 engineers)
10 Software
3D Design since 2007
BIM since 2012

Disciplines were collaborating but sequentially
Building combined 3D model = very time consuming and already out-of-date once produced
Project’s info still in multiple files and formats
Why BIM?
Data loss & risk of exchanging wrong information
10. NOVAPOINT ANVÄNDARTRÄFF 2014 │Göteborg 23-24 oktober
Gather all data into one LIVE engineering model
Easy to use (downsize implementation impact)
Strong visualization & data analyses
Handle a process with many disciplines
Real multi-user environment on objects level
