Why IFC Matters for OpenBIM and AEC Interoperability

Managing large-scale, multi-zoned developments without losing control of project changes or timelines can be a major challenge for project teams.   Pellikaan used Solibri’s Information Takeoff (ITO) and automated model checking to track changes instantly and maintain quality across a complex 9,500 sq metre project.   Read the full case study to explore these seven game-changing BIM strategies: https://lnkd.in/d9G4h_uW    #OpenBIM | Your one-stop openBIM solution provider.   #Solibri #BIM #QualityAssurance #AEC #HongKongConstruction

Our BIM managers Jarrod Phillips and Scott J. Moore had the opportunity to attend the 2026 Brisbane Open BIM Xchange Conference. It's always valuable to see how others across the AEC industry are tackling the complex, often behind-the-scenes challenges of collaboration and digital delivery — and to bring those ideas back into our own practice. A few key takeaways: 📍 The next generation of IFC — IFCX — aims to tackle the challenge of multiple disciplines sharing the same objects, along with more advanced geometry storage using USD. 📍 The advancement of models as a standard contractual deliverable is right on our doorstep. 📍 While upcoming changes to ISO 19650 may rename some terminology, it's still important we communicate the core objective of openBIM to those less familiar with it: a versatile method for transferring structured data — geometry or asset data — within a project team. It remains a viable, usable format well into the future life of a building.

BIM isn’t slow. The workflow around it is. A model changes. Then the information starts moving. BIM → IFC → PDF → spreadsheet → email → another platform → back to BIM. Same building. Same data. Different systems. Every handoff adds friction and another chance for information to become outdated, duplicated or lost. At BIMy, we believe the next step for BIM isn’t simply making individual tools faster. It’s making the entire workflow work as one. Less friction. More connected data. Better decisions. Where does your BIM workflow slow down? #BIM #AEC #DigitalConstruction #ConstructionTech #OpenBIM #BIMWorkflow #BIMy

ACCA software will be at BIM World Copenhagen from September 16th to 17th! 🇩🇰 This year, at K.B.

🚀 Introducing IDS Compass: a modern workspace for creating and managing BIM Information Delivery Specifications (IDS). Information requirements are becoming increasingly important in BIM, but creating and maintaining IDS specifications can still be unnecessarily complex. IDS Compass is being built to make that process simpler: 🔹 Create IDS specifications from natural language 🔹 Manage specifications across projects, phases and releases 🔹 Reuse requirements and specification components 🔹 Work with the buildingSMART IDS standard Our goal is simple: Make it easier to define what information a BIM model should contain. Follow IDS Compass for product updates, IDS examples, BIM information management insights and a look at what we're building. #BIM #IDS #buildingSMART #OpenBIM #BIMManagement #InformationManagement #DigitalConstruction

The right level of detail, at the right time. Level of Development helps define how much information a BIM model contains, and, just as importantly, what that information can reliably be used for. As a project progresses, the model can evolve with it, giving teams the clarity they need without adding unnecessary detail too early. At Jayline, we build models with purpose, aligning the level of development with each project phase to support clearer coordination, better decisions, and more efficient workflows. #BIM #LevelOfDevelopment #LOD #BIMModeling #BIMCoordination #AEC #DigitalConstruction #DesignTechnology

AEC firms often accept workflow friction as normal, missing out on massive efficiency gains. In this episode of Graphisoft Talks, Chief Revenue Officer Richard Doll discusses how AI simplifies complex BIM software and how new tools like MEP Designer transform daily design workflows to keep practices resilient.

Your project workload may change. Your delivery standards shouldn’t. With BIM outsourcing, AEC teams can access the right expertise when needed — supporting smoother coordination, efficient workflows, and on-time project delivery. BIM SQUARE works as an extension of your team, helping you handle demanding project requirements without unnecessary overhead. Build smarter. Scale efficiently. Deliver confidently. #BIM #BIMOutsourcing #AECIndustry #BIMCoordination #DigitalDelivery

COBie is only as useful as the information within it… validating that data before handover is what makes it valuable downstream. #BIM #COBie #DigitalConstruction #openBIM #Solibri

When I announced the launch of my independent BIM advisory, the response reinforced a critical truth in our industry: AEC leaders aren’t looking for more drafting bandwidth; They need project certainty, data governance, and risk mitigation. Today, I’m excited to share the next evolution of this journey. The practice officially has a home and a brand: BIMway 🚀 And with it, our new digital platform is live at bimway.tech At BIMway, the focus is on robust digital delivery across two core pillars: 🛡️ 1. Independent BIM Advisory & Auditing: Forensic model checks, compliance verification, and data governance to eliminate technical debt before it hits site—without touching or altering your native design geometry. ⚙️ 2. Scalable Delivery: Partnering with key production engines to execute complex documentation and technical workflows at scale. Whether you are looking to secure model compliance for upcoming milestone gates, establish a robust BEP, or audit critical project data, BIMway was built to give your team complete clarity.
