“Review of the Development and Implementation of IFC compatible BIM”

This is a report sponsored by Erabuild, and written by a collaborative group from SINTEF (Ole Jørgen Karud and Håvard Bell), VTT (Arto Kiviniemi), Rambøll (Jan Karlshøj) and Eurostep (Väino Tarandi). We (SINTEF) had the lead of the project, but it was a very productive team effort, and shows the strength the Nordic countries represent in this field. The report provides current status on buildingSMART technology and usage, gives an overview of all the lessons learned so far, and list all recommended steps for future development and further usage of buildingSMART.
