25/07/03: Switching from traditional 2D planning to model-based 3D electrical design within the BIM process means one thing above all: greater precision and coordination but also increased effort. In highly sensitive areas such as #cleanroom design, the 3D model provides a realistic representation of all electrical systems: from high and low voltage technology to fire alarm systems and emergency lighting.
A key difference from conventional planning: the effort shifts, away from the execution planning phase (LP5) towards the design planning phase (LP3). What used to be coordinated on-site must now be carefully thought through and coordinated in the model. This requires significantly more time and collaboration between all trades at an earlier stage. The benefit: early detection of clashes, smoother processes on-site, and a significantly higher quality of planning, which is especially crucial for projects with the highest standards. The goal is to deliver a clash-minimized design to the contractors.

3D models are not just planning tools, they are also powerful means of communication. Complex technical content becomes easier to grasp for all project stakeholders. Concepts can be quickly visualized and discussed.

Decisions made during LP3 carry more weight than before. This demands expertise, foresight, and a strong understanding of both structural and operational interdependencies.

A well-maintained model forms the foundation for future digital as-built documentation. This requires that contractors continue working in BIM to ensure consistent data throughout the project lifecycle.

Better planning reduces change orders, saves costs, and minimizes resource waste. A crucial step toward sustainable construction.

Adopting BIM is not just about software; it requires a cultural shift within the planning team. Openness, a willingness to learn, and a digital mindset are essential. Values we at CRC actively embrace.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻
BIM planning presents new challenges for electrical engineering.
Thanks to digitalization, processes become more reliable and faster, for example, through automated creation of schematics and lists.
At the same time, detailed coordination and 3D modeling of all elements, from power outlets to data sockets, demand significantly more upfront effort.
