Big news from our labs! We’re in the final stretch of developing a game-changing tool for Facility Managers with large, complex portfolios – introducing a minimalist BIM approach that’s faster, lighter, and perfectly fit for real-world needs.
With our app, you can easily create simple volumetric building models focused on rooms – no heavy BIM required.
- From existing plans & sections (even historical hand-drawn ones)
- From 3D scan point clouds
- Or a combination of both!
These lightweight models are ready to power a wide range of FM processes without the overhead of massive, resource-intensive BIM files that often go unused.
Minimal effort, maximum value. That’s the future of BIM for Facility Management. Stay tuned – we can’t wait to show you more at ioFM! Meanwhile, explore our Digital Twin & BIM use cases here: https://iolabs.ch/en/case-studies/?tag=BIM
ESG reporting is now a standard expectation for real estate owners and facility managers. Yet one of the most common obstacles is the lack of structured, verifiable building data to support it. The good news: in most cases, that data already exists — and ioFM turns it into a single source of truth.
Point clouds are accurate but hard to use. Meshes are powerful but heavy. This article compares point clouds, meshes, and Gaussian splats, and explains when splats enable faster, smoother, photoreal previews.
Last week in Basel was a good opportunity to meet with partners and clients, and see what's moving in the industry.
