Construction sites are naturally dynamic places. Deliveries, transportation and work processes must be constantly coordinated in order to function smoothly. But despite careful planning, delays often occur. Materials are being delivered late, resources such as cranes or elevators are reaching their capacity limits and logistical bottlenecks are blocking construction progress. BIM2LOG solves these problems by taking planning to a new level: The method combines digital modelling with precise time and logistics management and makes construction processes controllable. In the following, we present five classic construction site problems. And how BIM2LOG solves them.
1. Transport bottlenecks: More precision through digital integration
Based on an algorithm, the BIM2LOG planning method provides exact parameters which, combined with the right material (BIM), at the right time (LEAN) and in the right place (LOG), makes it possible to precisely simulate all logistical processes on the construction site. Even in the planning phase, the model takes material flows, storage areas and transport routes into account so that resources are available precisely and at the right time. This predictive planning makes it possible to identify potential bottlenecks at an early stage, which continuously optimizes the construction process and prevents delays. The result: Efficiency increases of up to 20 percent can be achieved in production.
In practice:
On construction sites where materials are often transported vertically, the Lift a key role too. Especially when several trades access the same elevator at the same time, bottlenecks often occur. Through real-time analysis of lift demand, BIM2LOG ensures that the capacity is always available in line with actual demand and that use therefore runs smoothly.
2. Utilizations planned inefficiently: 4D simulation optimizes time planning
At the heart of BIM2LOG is 4D simulation, which not only depicts the geometric data of a building, but also integrates the temporal dimension. In this way, construction processes can be precisely visualized and simulated in order to create schedules, use resources efficiently and take the right measures. One Just-in-time-Delivery strategy ensures that materials reach the construction site at the right time. This coordinated logistics management reduces process costs by up to 25 percent.
In practice:
BIM2LOG calculates the flow of quantities precisely in time. This also makes it easier to predict the utilization of cranes. The crane is essential on many construction sites, but its use is often not optimally planned, resulting in overloading or idling. BIM2LOG better adapts crane requirements to the further material flow, which ensures optimal utilization.
3. Planning doesn't fit in with reality: Better coordination through digital networking
The continuous collection of real-time data enables BIM2LOG to dynamically adjust logistics processes throughout the construction process. modernism sensors and digital monitoring methods analyze and optimize all processes in real time. Dashboards visualize project status and present target and actual values transparently, so that all parties involved always have an eye on the current state of construction. Deviations can be identified and corrected immediately. Die “Cadmium” software solution supports this process by controlling, analyzing and visualizing all data processes.
In practice:
The planning and Access route management makes BIM2LOG precise and flexible even under tight conditions. It monitors narrow access roads, which make material transport and truck coordination difficult, in real time and adjusts them. In this way, construction progress remains efficient and the flow of materials remains undisturbed.
4. Coordination uncertainties and improvements: The pull principle as a success factor
In the traditional push principle, materials are delivered in advance, which leads to unnecessary storage and longer transport routes. BIM2LOG replaces this principle with the efficient pull principle, in which materials are only retrieved when you actually need them. This just-in-time delivery strategy reduces both storage costs and transport routes and ensures that logistics processes are precisely tailored to the progress of construction. This precise control reduces material waste by up to 10 percent.
In practice:
With BIM2LOG, temporary storage spaces can be planned in accordance with requirements and with foresight. The digital definition of material deliveries prevents unnecessary blockages and ensures that materials are available at the right time. Thanks to consistent digital planning, planning security increases significantly, and cooperation between all parties involved is becoming more transparent and targeted.
5. If the construction plan is still analog: BIM2LOG also digitizes existing projects
The use of BIM2LOG is not only suitable for new buildings, but also for existing projects and renovations. For projects without an existing BIM model, the method offers a 2D-to-3D generator, which automatically converts traditional building plans into digital models. This flexibility makes it possible to use BIM2LOG in a variety of projects and to integrate existing buildings into digital planning. This makes BIM2LOG not only suitable for new buildings, but also for the renovation and renovation of older buildings.
Conclusion: BIM2LOG brings construction planning to a new dimension
BIM2LOG stands for a new quality of construction processing. By combining model-based logistics planning, 4D simulation, real-time control and the pull principle, the method creates highly efficient, coordinated construction logistics. The transformation of construction sites into a networked, data-driven production environment is no longer a vision, but a living reality with measurable benefits: higher productivity, lower costs and more sustainable processes. BIM2LOG is a real game changer in the construction industry.
