BIM meetings reduced to 30min
Getting the data right by using BIMcollab turned out to be a huge time saver. A 4-hour meeting was reduced to a 30-minute meeting, which left us with much more time to focus on the design. The social housing complex ‘Het Schip’ (the ship) was designed by Dutch architect Michel de Klerk in 1917, constructed in 1918, and delivered in 1919.
Michel de Klerk is considered one of the main architects who influenced the Amsterdam school style of architecture, with ‘Het Schip’ being a prime example of this style. Eigen Haard, the owner of the complex, commissioned archivolt architecten BV as one of the members of the design team to renovate and refurbish the complex. It was mandatory for all the companies involved to use BIM. This was the first national monument project to be completely executed in BIM.

"Renovating a nearly 100-year old building using BIM, is giving new life to a historic monument"
