About?
The construction industry is currently plagued by high levels of waste and inefficiencies, from gaps between what is designed, built, and maintained? We see BIM and other technologies such as Internet of Things as the key enabler to close these gaps through a holistic view of the BIM and construction ecosystem.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)-enabled digital infrastructure can be used to effectively create and manage built facilities during their lifecycle. The Aalto BIM Collaboration is a strategic multidisciplinary research group at Aalto with the goal to consolidate Finland’s position among the global leaders in this emerging area. Our research focuses on the emerging BIM ecosystem comprising of technologies, processes, people and policies for creating resource effective, sustainable, user-friendly and intelligent built environments.

DIGIBUILD Project: Improving the life-cycle value of buildings
In the built environment the best available solutions are rarely used in practice.
