ULC Installatiegroep ‘Getting BIM information FROM the site’

Description

ULC is a Dutch, multidisciplinary installation company with a specialization in building and main-taining sustainable buildings. They mainly work on buildings with complex installation systems. ULC is very socially engaged and employs over 330 people with an unknown yearly turnover. Most projects are done in BIM and the engineering department has 20 BIM modellers and a BIM coordinator. The company has a department for quality surveying with 2 quality inspectors.

The biggest challenge for ULC is to build and maintain electrical and HVAC-systems in an effec-tive and efficient way.

The goal of this Field Lab was to get better information about executability from site workers back to the engineering department. This pilot field lab therefor concentrated on getting feedback (on the IFC model) from blue collar workers, so white collar workers can build better (i.e. usable) models.
