Our goal is error-free, high-quality data exchange, which allows engineers simply to bring their know-how into the structural design.

 

 

SCIA & openBIM
A future-proof approach to AEC collaboration

openBIM is a progressive, future-proof approach to AEC collaboration. It helps connect stakeholders such as software vendors, software users (architects, engineers and builders) as well as clients/owners to co-create great buildings. openBIM ensures workflow transparency, longevity and accessibility of data for built assets. 
openBIM is based upon open standards such as IFC from buildingSMART. SCIA and the Nemetschek Group fully support buildingSMART’s openBIM program. We are also fully dedicated to the high-quality standards defined by our openBIM Charter and represented by our openBIM logo.

We believe that

  • Interoperability between project stakeholders must not be used as grounds for competition. 
  • Free choice of software in project work must be a basic right for any project stakeholder. 
  • Proprietary format mandates must not be used to exclude candidates from project work. 
  • Interoperability should be facilitated via development and support of open standards. 
  • Rigorous testing and certification criteria is a must for quality support of open standards. 
  • Industry stakeholders must publicly endorse and promote openBIM in the AEC community.
