BOB

BoB (BIM on building site) is an imec.icon research project funded by imec and Agentschap Innoveren & Ondernemen (VLAIO). The project will digitize the monitoring of construction projects by connecting and enhancing Building Information Models with real-time on-site progress and activity data , analyzed with AI technology.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) allows making elaborate, information-rich models of building designs. However, there is no easy way yet to couple these models to what is actually happening on-site, during a construction. The BoB project aims to create a 2-way link between BIM models and the actual building, improving building efficiency and avoiding costly errors.
