BIM DATA. DIGITAL ENGINEERING.
From manufacturer data to intelligent BIM content.
BIMDAS delivers structured, validated and BIM-ready product data for manufacturers, engineering companies and digital construction workflows.
About BIMDAS
Turning Product Information into Digital BIM Assets
BIMDAS combines engineering expertise, BIM standards, product information and digital technologies to create reliable digital representations of technical products.
We develop and manage BIM data used across planning, engineering, construction, facility management and digital product platforms, with a focus on component manufacturers in building services, electrical and building automation.
Engineering

Manufacturer data
We collect everything that already exists for the product and identify what is missing for BIM use.
- Data sheets and catalogues
- Price lists, ERP/PIM exports
- Engineering CAD
- Cleaned data basis
- Requirements profile
Product data processing
Attributes are structured, harmonised and mapped to ETIM and ECLASS.
- Raw data per product line
- Unified attribute list
- Classification
3D geometry
LOG-appropriate modelling from primitive solids, including installation and access spaces. Small files, fast models.
- Manufacturer STEP / CAD
- Dimension tables
- Simplified solids
- Connection points
BIM parameters
Shared parameters, VDI 3805 attributes and MEP connectors with nominal size, flow and system classification.
- Attribute list
- Geometry
- Parametric object
- Type catalogue
QA / validation
Automated rules check geometry, parameters, connectors and naming, followed by an engineering review.
- BIM object
- Rule set
- QA report
- Approval
BIM content
Approved objects are generated in every target format and stored with versions.
- Approved object
- Revit families
- IFC objects
- VDI 3805 datasets
Digital platforms
Data reaches planners through manufacturer portals, MEP software and, in future, the Digital Product Passport.
- BIM content
- Download portal
- MEP software
- Product passport
3D Geometry Viewer
Inspect product geometry right in the browser
Rotate, pan, zoom, section and measure. You can also open your own GLB or STEP file.
Data quality
Quality by Design
Every BIM object passes automated rules and an engineering review before delivery.
Checks cover geometric and alphanumeric data. On request we also certify BIM objects that manufacturers already have.

Standards
Standards We Work With
Open and established formats, so your data works in every target environment.
German guideline for product data exchange in building services. Manufacturers provide geometry and technical data that planning software reads directly.
Data structures for electronic product catalogues in building services. Carries the VDI 3805 concepts into an international standard.
Open, vendor-neutral exchange format for BIM models across different software products.
Native families with parameters, MEP connectors and type catalogues that behave like built-in Revit components.
Neutral CAD format for exact 3D geometry. The starting point for simplified BIM geometry and conversions.
Open classification model for technical products with language-independent features, widely used in electrical, HVAC and plumbing.
Cross-industry standard for classifying and clearly describing products and services.
Machine-readable formats for connecting PIM and ERP systems and manufacturer portals.
Digital Product Passport under the EU Ecodesign Regulation: product information across the full lifecycle.
For manufacturers
Make Your Products BIM-Ready.
We turn your existing product information into digital BIM assets and get them to planners.
