The revolution in construction communication: BCF tickets and IFC files

In the world of construction, coordination and communication between the various parties has always been a challenge. However, with the increasing complexity of construction projects and the proliferation of digital tools, a paradigm shift is underway. Two such tools that are attracting a lot of attention in the industry are BCF tickets and IFC.

Was ist BCF?

BCF stands for "BIM Collaboration Format" and is a file format that was specially developed for communication in BIM (Building Information Modeling) environments. BCF enables users to insert and exchange comments, notes and questions directly in the 3D model. These comments are then saved in the form of "tickets" that can be viewed and edited by various project participants.

Was bedeutet IFC?

IFC, on the other hand, stands for "Industry Foundation Classes" and is an open, internationally recognized file format for the exchange of building data between different BIM software applications. IFC enables users to exchange geometric and non-geometric data about a construction project, regardless of the BIM software used.

BCF-Tickets und IFC Daten im Zusammenspiel

Die Verbindung zwischen BCF-Tickets und IFC bietet eine leistungsstarke Lösung für die Bauprojektkommunikation. Indem BCF-Tickets direkt in das IFC-Modell integriert sind, können Benutzer nicht nur 3D-Geometrie austauschen. Sondern sie können auch relevante Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit direkt im Modell verwalten. Dies ermöglicht es den Projektbeteiligten, Informationen schnell zu teilen, Probleme zu identifizieren und zu lösen. Folglich kann der gesamte Bauprozess effizienter gestalten werden.

An example of how BCF tickets can be used in conjunction with IFC is the review and approval of construction plans. Instead of using separate documents and emails to communicate changes and comments, users can insert BCF tickets directly into the IFC model. Architects, engineers and other project stakeholders can then review, comment and approve these tickets while viewing the 3D model. This enables seamless collaboration and reduces the likelihood of misunderstandings or misinterpretations.

Die Vorteile dieser Verbindung sind vielfältig. Die Integration von BCF-Tickets in IFC-Modellen verbessert die Effizienz der Kommunikation, die Transparenz erhöht und die Fehlerquote reduziert. Dies führt zu kürzeren Projektzeiten, geringeren Kosten und letztendlich zu einem besseren Bauprojektergebnis.

Insgesamt markiert die Verbindung von BCF-Tickets und IFC einen bedeutenden Fortschritt in der Art und Weise, wie Bauprojekte geplant, koordiniert und ausgeführt werden. Indem sie die Möglichkeiten der digitalen Technologie voll ausschöpft, trägt diese innovative Lösung dazu bei, die Herausforderungen der Bauprojektkommunikation zu bewältigen und die Effizienz der gesamten Branche zu steigern. Mit AR-Explorer lassen sich IFC-Dateien aufrufen und sogar im 1:1 Maßstab an der Baustelle vor Ort betrachten. Sie können BCF Tickets darin vor Ort aufrufen oder anlegen. Durch die dynamische Übersetzungsfunktion erhöht AR-Explorer das eindeutige Verständnis aller Beteiligten.

AR Explorer app demo at the Viega Cube Aachen

We have now been able to test AR-Explorer at the Viega Cube in Aachen, an installation with an enormous amount of complex technical building equipment (TGA) and therefore an ideal place to test the overlay and the resulting added value of digital 3D and BIM data and reality. Of course, it was particularly exciting to see how well the slam tracking would work on the smartphone.
