Digital building models in precast construction

An error prevention tool for planning and implementation

In the course of ongoing digitalization in the precast construction industry, three-dimensional building models have almost become standard in structural design in the meantime. These models not only provide for a good visual overview of the supporting structure, but also offer further advantages for both the detailed planning and the production and construction process. The more intelligent and the more complete digital models are, the greater is the benefit that can be gained from the data implemented. Positive effects are, e.g., improved planning, production and construction processes,...
