EstiaBIM for BIM Data Quality Management
EstiaBIM is a platform based on BuildingSMART's OpenBIM concepts to optimize the exchange of BIM data with IDS
BIM Requirements Management Made Easy with EstiaBIM
EstiaBIM brings together all the necessary tools for validating digital models and exchanging BIM requirements. The platform makes the use of IDS simple and efficient
Creating BIM Requirements
The platform allows converting requirements from an Excel file containing BIM model information to the IDS (Information Delivery Specification) format. IDS is a standard OpenBIM format. An Excel template is available for entering control rules, and the user can quickly set up their specifications and convert them into ...
IDS Content Report
When creating an IDS with EstiaBIM, the user can download a PDF report of the IDS content. The IDS format is a machine-readable file. EstiaBIM makes the IDS content understandable to humans. This PDF report also helps verify the IDS content to ensure correct rule settings. This visual document allows your partners to u...
IFC Model Validation
EstiaBIM allows validating IFC models with IDS directly on the platform. Each project or organization participant has access to upload their IFC files and check compliance with project requirements. All stakeholders can verify the information in their models at any time. This approach allows controlling a digital model...
Validation Report
When validating an IFC file, EstiaBIM generates detailed reports on non-conformities and model evaluation statistics. These reports (PDF or HTML) can be downloaded and attached to IFC files when transmitted. The evaluation reports help quickly understand which specifications are non-compliant and which model elements n...
Secure Access for All
EstiaBIM allows all project or organization members to work on the same platform. The platform is accessible via an authentication portal that identifies the user and grants access rights according to their profile. Using EstiaBIM ensures that all project members use the same version of the IDS. They have access to ver...
Import Existing IDS
New: It is now possible to import an existing IDS and view the associated rules on a web page. EstiaBIM allows exporting a PDF report of the IDS content to make it understandable to humans. An existing IDS can also be converted to XLSX format for editing and creating a new one. This function allows maintaining IDS over...
Who Should Use IDS?
BIM data is used throughout all project phases, from design to construction, building operation, and demolition. Therefore, all project stakeholders should work with IDS to improve information exchange.
Advantages
Why Choose EstiaBIM?
EstiaBIM combines all the functions to fully exploit IDS potential for all project stakeholders in one environment.
Centralized Platform as Part of the CDE (Common Data Environment)
All project members use the same platform. They have permanent access to all features without installing software, regardless of their operating system. There are no more licensing issues for internal or external users of your organization. A modeler can easily check the quality of their models at any time.
Rule Management in an Excel Spreadsheet
Excel spreadsheets remain the simplest and fastest way to manage rules. Copying data from one file to another is efficient, and spreadsheets have functions to extend rows and formulas to simplify data entry. Even today, a spreadsheet is the most efficient solution for data entry compared to software interfaces.
IDS Conversion to PDF
The IDS format is designed to be machine-readable, making it difficult for humans to understand its content. EstiaBIM converts IDS to PDF to make it understandable to everyone. Additionally, standardized reports simplify understanding the content of an IDS. These reports also help quickly identify errors in your rule settings.
Fast, Simple, Effective
EstiaBIM focuses on digital model data quality control, and the platform is developed to make IDS use simple for all project members. The features are complete and cover all use cases. With EstiaBIM, you no longer need to be a BIM specialist to perform quality control; every project stakeholder can self-check.
Web Application
EstiaBIM is a platform accessible via a web browser. The platform can be accessed from a computer (Windows-MacOs-Linux) or mobile devices (Android, iOS). The server hosting the platform will perform calculations for users.
One License for All
One license allows inviting as many collaborators as you want, whether they are internal or external to your organization. For this reason, it is easy to implement a quality management process for your organization or project without any constraints. For a quality control process to be adopted, everyone must have permanent access.
IDS Training and Use of the EstiaBIM Platform
In order to exploit the full potential of the IDS, good knowledge is necessary to save valuable time. In this context, we are in partnership with the company Mensch und Maschine Suisse to support our customers by offering adapted training on the IDS and the use of our EstiaBIM platform.
