Integrated design with BIM

The digital opportunity

Press Release  (2694 character)

The stress test was completed successfully! The current challenges represented by the measures to combat the corona pandemic are also affecting architecture and engineering offices. And yet: for companies who have already confidently addressed the challenge of digitalization, even this new complexity can be mastered.

One decisive difference is summed up by the three letters “BIM.” While the digital planning method “Building Information Modeling” is still a long way off for some, it is already impossible to imagine life at ATP without it.

It is no coincidence, for example, that Europe’s leading office for integrated design with BIM was able to transfer almost all design work to the home offices of its employees so rapidly. All of the company’s offices in Austria and Southern Germany were made “C-fit” by ATP’s own IT teams virtually overnight. Although one should add that home office workstations have long been part of everyday life at ATP and shouldn’t be seen as an “emergency service’. Thanks to the internet connections between its hundreds of remote BIM workplaces and its office-based computers and servers, coupled with its traditional culture of close cooperation, the company remains as energetic and agile as ever.

Interestingly, it is precisely in such socially difficult times that digitalization – which goes hand in hand with BIM and has been so heavily criticized from certain directions – has proved so beneficial,” says ATP CEO Christoph M. Achammer, identifying a key advantage of designing in a virtual context as practiced by ATP for many years. Because ATP is continuing to plan: with just one difference: “Put it like this: we design buildings, all under one roof … but just right now under lots of different roofs.

Once again it is these three big letters – BIM – that are making this small difference. The digital planning method Building Information Modeling is already an intrinsic part of life for ATP’s architects and engineers. All of the company’s specialists – working integrally as a network – use this “digital twin” to plan the future building in all its glory and with all its various features – in advance and in the cloud. Such cooperation is not new for ATP, even in the event of such a disruptive transformation of our previous, customary office-based culture.
