elec calc BIM is a unique software solution for integrating electrical calculation into an Open BIM process. Based on the collaborative IFC and BDF formats, the software allows you to design an electrical installation from a BIM digital model and collaborate with all project stakeholders.
The promises of elec calc BIM:
Collaboration
Different teams and professionals can work on the same model at the same time, in interconnected files. This encourages more communication.
Time Saving
Because documents are automatically generated, linked and updated from the model, more time can be spent on design and decision making rather than on the schematic by eliminating all data re-entry.
Completeness
Detailed information on all aspects of the building is available. Commercial information on the products used can be added from the supplier's website.
Accuracy
Helps detect conflicts and avoid conflicting information between documents and building systems
A competitive advantage
More than 50% of companies say that offering BIM to their clients is a way to win new projects (according to McGrew Hill Construction Report).
An integrated design
Facilitates transdisciplinary work, and provides an overall idea and harmonious development throughout the phases of the project.
Environmental analysis
The information provided in the model allows the software to easily and directly assess the energy and environmental performance of a building.
Increased productivity
Reduces re-reading and editing because all information is linked and updated automatically.
