The modern planning processes require a sustainable and consistent cooperation between all those involved in the planning. Planquadrat uses the new method BIM in order to develop new opportunities and savings potentials from integral planning together with the clients and the specialist engineers. Through the many years of experience in the field of three-dimensional building processing, the office is well set up for BIM. The gradual integration of the planning according to BIM is actively organised in order to thus establish the BIM method as a tool of the future.
