BIM is already a reality and its future tends to be improved with the insertion of new technologies generating high frequency all over the world. In countries such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Norway and the USA already require the use of BIM in projects funded by the government. In Brazil, a new Decree, No. 9,983, entered into force on August 22, 2019, which provides for the National BIM Dissemination Strategy and establishes the BIM Strategy Management Committee (CG BIM).

 

The communication of this data by the various participants is complex. These BIM models can be shared in file formats specific to each BIM modeling software or in a neutral format (Industry Foundation Classes - IFC). Developed by buildingSMART, IFC aims to allow data exchange, regardless of the software or manufacturers chosen by each designer. However, several participants in the construction of an enterprise, generally do not have technical knowledge to use this software and still want to have access to the project data. In order to bring inclusion of all participants in a work to the projected data, we developed a research to facilitate the exchange of BIM information, through the extraction of data from the IFC file and provided through routes of a Restfull API. We believe in the democratization of BIM, and making it somehow more accessible, starting with uncomplicated access to information, is our main desire.
