The Dutch company BIM-Connected has developed a platform called BIM-Bridge that can be used to exchange and compare building data between different software applications, on the basis of IFC models. The platform has a dedicated module for BriefBuilder data. This module can be used to compare and verify requirements concerning the following aspects: Quantities...
The Dutch company BIMlink has developed a connection between BriefBuilder and BIMlink’s platform for the management of building information.
