Requirements for a PIM system: building components and materials

For manufacturers of construction elements and building materials, a powerful PIM system is crucial for efficiently managing technical features, installation instructions and approvals. Architects, planners and tradespeople need this information in the early project phase - precise, standard-compliant and in suitable formats.

Illustration of two people on a building site: on the left is a construction worker, on the right a planner with a writing pad. In the background is a multi-storey building in the shell with a construction crane, with other people working on the roof. The scene symbolizes cooperation on the building site between craftsmen and planners.

A PIM system brings structure to the multitude of information required in the construction elements and building materials industry. In addition to classic product properties such as material, dimensions or approvals, processing-related information, installation instructions or reference objects also play an important role. This information must not only be provided in full, but also in a target group-specific manner - for architects in BIM formats, for tradespeople as tender texts or for dealers via industry-specific data portals, for example. PIM systems such as crossbase make it possible to manage this content centrally and automatically convert it into various formats - such as GAEB, Datanorm or Oxomi.

In addition, BIM data for common systems such as IFC, REVIT or ArchiCAD can be quickly generated in collaboration with our CAD partner 4PACE - flexibly controllable depending on the project requirements.
