The Challenge
Willemen Construct, one of Belgium’s largest construction companies, is committed to delivering high-quality projects on time and within budget. To achieve this, the company needed a reliable tool for Building Information Management (BIM). As a contractor, Willemen Construct often works on Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) models from designers, building partners, and suppliers. The challenge was to find a tool that could handle these models effectively and efficiently. Furthermore, the tool needed to be user-friendly with a minimal learning curve to facilitate a wider company rollout.
The Solution
Willemen Construct chose BricsCAD BIM as its trusted tool for Building Information Management (BIM). BricsCAD BIM offers a user-friendly interface with a minimal learning curve, making it an ideal choice for a wider company rollout. For effective collaboration on all design and build projects, Willemen Construct uses Bricsys 24/7 as its preferred document management system. Looking ahead, the company is excited about the future possibilities of BIM with Bricsys, including sustainability analyses, augmented reality, and the application of artificial intelligence. For instance, BricsCAD already uses AI in some applications to automatically identify floors, columns, or other building elements.
