Funding provider: Office for Federal Construction Rhineland-Palatinate (ABB)

Projektlaufzeit: 01/2021-11/2024

As a public client, the federal government is responsible for a large number of construction projects. In order to make their implementation more effective in the long term, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Homeland (BMI) and the Federal Ministry of Defense (BMVg) will introduce the Building Information Modeling (BIM) method for all federal construction projects in coordination with the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks (BImA).

The BIM Office (GS BIM), which is based at the Office for Federal Construction Rhineland-Palatinate (ABB), is responsible for this and acts as the representative of the BMI as the client in the context of the services tendered here. The "BIM Master Plan for Federal Buildings" is currently being developed. The document, which is expected to be published in fall 2021, will set out a timetable for the three-stage introduction of the BIM method for federal buildings from 2022. The BIM master plan was the basis for the overall measure "BIM introduction and implementation strategy for federal buildings". Based on this, the following further measures were commissioned: implementation strategy and BIM manual, live operation, scientific support, user training. The BIM Institute at the University of Wuppertal was commissioned to carry out the "scientific support" together with the Fraunhofer Institutes IBP and IFF.
