openBIM® extends the benefits of BIM (Building Information Modeling) by improving the accessibility, usability, management and sustainability of digital data in the built asset industry. At its core, openBIM® is a collaborative process that is vendor neutral. openBIM processes can be defined as sharable project information that supports seamless collaboration for all project participants. openBIM® facilitates interoperability to benefit projects and assets throughout their lifecycle.

Seeing is Believing is a program where use cases can be defined and tested in dramatically shortened timeframes by accelerating development of functionality and workflows while the openBIM® standardization is still underway (e.g., IFC 4.3, MVD). We expect progress from concept to realization within 300 days through this program.

The use cases may range from basic visualization, model checking, data normalization, and GIS integration, to operational digital twin with sensors. Use cases will be defined by the participants and solution seekers, assuring relevance to real-world challenges and realistic solutions.
