DBD-BIM

With DBD-BIM, you can add cost elements to IFC components, i.e. “sample” them. This adds BIM functionality to STLB-Bau. You can also use DBD-BIM directly in NOVA AVA: Simply select the desired IFC component in NOVA AVA and search for the equivalent in DBD-BIM. This is done via the DIN SPEC 91400 BIM classification according to STLB-Bau. DBD-BIM now provides cost elements (“recipes”) for the component. You then add these to the component in NOVA AVA.

This is what the provider says: “You decide on quality and costs as early as the planning and design stage. With DBD-BIM, you have the necessary construction data directly available in your CAD or BIM software: Construction services, prices and technical rules such as DIN standards and VDI guidelines. Matching the processed component. Always up to date online!”

DBD-BIM is systematically linked to STLB-Bau and thus enables the consistent use of data from early planning in tendering and cost determination. We therefore recommend the simultaneous use of STLB-Bau. NOVA AVA in turn enables the data exchange of BIM-LV containers in accordance with DIN SPEC 91350 (linked IFC and GAEB files). This closes the circle.
