Modular Construction and Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Digitization is already bringing about rapid changes to our living and work environment. For construction projects in the Life Sciences segment, with its stringent safety, speed and flexibility requirements, two approaches are particularly promising: Modular Construction and Building Information Modeling (BIM). For Life Sciences projects, Drees & Sommer links these two to a powerful digital pair that allows, amongst other things, faster, more reliable and more cost-effective realization of production and laboratory buildings.
How important are Modular Construction and BIM to you?
- Are you looking for methods to achieve cost and schedule certainty in the planning and realization of complex construction projects?
- Is your core business highly dynamic and characterized by process-driven, technology-based projects?
- Do you need flexible buildings, particularly with regard to user fitout?
- Do you want to accelerate planning and construction processes, and more importantly, increase the level of certainty?

How we approach Modular Construction and BIM
In the first step, we draw up a project definition with you, the principal. This defines the scope and architectural concept of a future-proof building, and of the appropriate organization for project execution. In the second step, we use BIM for modular planning based on the architectural concept. We are also guided by the Lean approach, meaning that we develop modules as products on an interdisciplinary basis.
The digital planning methodology translates your customized architectural design and the technical building concepts into modules. Our experts collate these in catalogs and process them systematically. The goal is to plan identical areas and structures – such as offices and sanitary facilities – only once.
The benefits for you
- Cost-efficient buildings and rooms with genuine plug & work character
- Combination of years of industry expertise and unsurpassed digital planning competence
- Effective risk management based on BIM
- Customized level of BIM integration into the project
- Combination of customized architectures with modularized planning
- Reduced planning effort, as identical rooms and structures are only planned once and any faults are quickly detected and eliminated
- Up to 40% reduction in construction time compared to conventional construction method
- Data volume reduced by a factor of 20 for modular BIM compared to conventional BIM
