The 'I' in BIM is focused on the project rather than just the model

The 'I' in BIM is focused on the project rather than just the model

Lately, I have thought a lot about the I in BIM and how we can utilize it. What is puzzling is that BIM-People are usually concerned with data quality and not with what the data can be used for. I identified these five areas for which data could be interesting:

  1. Quantity validation - which is relevant for cost estimates and sustainability assessments. For example, how many square meters of ceiling does the project have?
  2. Project benchmarking - for example, what is the typical ratio of window area to facade area in a laboratory building in Switzerland? Such proportions can help identify anomalies and raise critical questions.
  3. Category questions - related to project definition in the early stages. For example, what percentage of floor area is needed for traffic in a hospital's operating department? This is particularly interesting when conducting economic calculations based on differentiated areas.
  4. Quality assurance questions - for example, does each unit have an entrance door? You may laugh, but I have experienced such situations in projects, especially when there is a time crunch.
  5. Lastly, answers can be found for operational optimization. For instance, what is the optimal position and number of nursing stations to minimize travel time and maximize time with patients? These are optimization tasks similar to those performed by a navigation system.

What can we do to utilize data better, what's your experience?
