BIM for the public sector, from requirement to operation

You set the BIM requirements and you receive the models. Between suppliers, project phases, and the handover into operation, too much of that information goes missing.

Open BIM keeps it intact and keeps it yours, from the first requirement to the building in daily use.

Our Norwegian and Swedish Solibri adaptations check deliveries against the national standard from day one. We work alongside public owners across Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

What public owners are up against

As a public owner you commission buildings, set the rules, and live with the result for decades. Four things make that harder than it should be.

Setting clear, vendor-neutral requirements

You can ask for BIM, but the value depends on asking for the right things in a way every supplier can meet. Vague requirements give you models you cannot use, and a dependence on one vendor you never intended.

Checking that deliveries meet them

A requirement only counts if you check it. Going through every delivery by hand, model by model, is slow, and the gaps you miss tend to surface years later when the building is in use.

Information that survives into operation

Most of what a building costs comes after it opens. When the data from design and construction does not carry into operation, your team rebuilds it, or works without it.

Meeting climate and life-cycle requirements

Climate and life-cycle reporting is now part of public procurement. Handled late, it is a scramble at the end. Handled in the model, it is simply part of the work.

Where BIM fits across a public project

Good BIM for a public real estate owner is not about one piece of software. It is about decisions that hold: requirements every supplier can meet, deliveries you can trust, and information that is still useful once the building is in use. 

From requirement to checked delivery

It starts before a single model arrives. The clearer your requirement and the more open the format, the less you have to chase later. Here is how that works across a project.

Decide what information you need, at which stage, and in which open format, then write it into the procurement. We help you turn intent into a requirement every supplier can meet, based on the national standard rather than on one vendor's tool.

Information that lasts into operation

The model earns its keep after handover. The second half of the job is keeping the information shared, reachable, and useful for as long as you own the building.

BIMcloud lets every party in a project work in the same model at once, across offices and organisations. No server to run, no version sent round by email.

Services that support public real estate owners

Software gets you started. Where you want a requirement that holds and a process that runs, our services step in with a defined outcome, scoped on their own pages.

Solibri-essential-architecture-structure

BIM-requirements consulting

When you need to turn intent into a written, enforceable BIM requirement, and a routine for checking that every delivery meets it.

Training

Training for public teams

Public teams rarely run a single tool, so the skill that pays off most is open BIM itself: reading, checking, and trusting a model whatever software produced it. Our instructors come from the building trades and teach in your language, from the basics of IFC and openBIM to model checking in Solibri. Take a scheduled course, book training for your whole team, or learn at your own pace with eLearning.

  • Open BIM and IFC competence, whatever tools your suppliers use
  • Solibri certified training in Norway and Sweden
  • Training tailored to your team and your standards
  • eLearning you can take at your own pace
