Bimify, partly owned by Addnode Group, is an AI-powered platform for large-scale digitalization of buildings. With its platform, Bimify helped the British architectural firm Corstorphine & Wright to quickly convert static drawing files into editable information-rich BIM models, saving both time and money. A common challenge in the construction industry is that digital building data is often missing or locked in hard-to-edit formats, which complicates further design work, planning and execution.
In this case, Corstorphine & Wright inherited a project where the drawings were only available as PDF files, severely limiting further design and execution work. To solve this challenge, Bimify provided its AI-powered platform, which automatically converted the PDF drawings into highly detailed BIM models. Corstorphine & Wright chose to test the technology by digitizing three out of six buildings using Bimify and converting the remaining three manually. The results showed that the AI-based method reduced both time and costs by 40 percent, while also improving the accuracy and reliability of the models. The AI-based approach freed up resources, allowing architects to focus on the creative and value-adding aspects of their work.
In addition to streamlining workflows, Bimify’s solution also contributes to a more sustainable construction process. With the support of accurate and up-to-date building data in project planning and implementation, material waste, rework, and resource consumption are reduced—leading to significant sustainability gains. By streamlining the digitalization of buildings and reducing the need for manual labor, Bimify helps the construction industry work both smarter and more environmentally friendly.
