Overview

Wood has established itself in the public perception as an environmentally friendly and versatile material that not only evokes emotions, but also enables high-tech applications in construction and creates creative freedom through efficient series production. Despite these positive aspects, however, eurphoria on the one hand and prejudices on the other hinder the comprehensive application of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) method in timber construction. This represents a significant bottleneck on the way to implementing Industry 4.0. In order to make progress, it is necessary to analyze controversial situations, clearly identify challenges and opportunities and initiate a new type of discussion. The BIMwood team presents in the BIMwood HOW-TO an overview of the experiences of an interdisciplinary team, presents solution approaches and identifies the need for further research and development.
