Formitas AG has been awarded the contract for Building Information Modeling (BIM) management of a new construction project at the Technical University of Wildau, located south of Berlin. The project, which includes the development of a data center and an accompanying laboratory building, marks a significant step in the application of BIM technologies in public sector constructions in Brandenburg.
This initiative falls under the purview of the Brandenburg State Office for Property and Construction (BLB), Central Procurement Office – Department FBT. Martina Teterra, the Head of University Construction at the BLB, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with Formitas AG. “We are pleased to have an experienced partner in BIM management by our side and look forward to building further expertise in the sustainable application and implementation of BIM in state and university construction,” she stated.
Dr. Joaquin Ramirez Brey, the project manager and BIM consultant from Formitas AG’s Berlin office, also shared his excitement about the project. “It’s exciting to see the implementation of BIM in state buildings taking shape right here in our neighborhood, and we are thrilled to be actively involved in this process,” he commented.
The project represents the first application of Brandenburg’s BIM strategy in state construction, with Formitas AG managing BIM across all service phases 1-8. The collaboration with BLB will focus on developing client information requirements (AIA) and managing BIM applications throughout the project. These applications include the creation of budget justification documents, coordination of trades, quality and progress control of planning, deriving planning documents from the model, quantity and cost estimation, collision checking within the technical planning, commissioning management, and building documentation.
The new construction spans an area of 3,975 square meters on the campus of the Technical University of Wildau, featuring a data center, offices, consultation rooms, and spaces for teaching and research, including physical laboratories and seminar rooms. The project also accommodates the needs of the automation technology and transportation system technology programs, providing additional physical laboratory spaces, group workspaces, offices, and approximately 2,000 square meters of outdoor facilities.
