OVERVIEW
Why choosingregola?
In the context of the information management process (ISO 19650), openBIM models are requested by clients and provided by their suppliers.
But what if a client doesn’t specify what the model shall contain? Or what if the supplier doesn’t understand what the customer wants?
The results are a BIM model that doesn’t serve its purpose, a long and tedious validation process and, often, the contractual problems that arise out of it.
Whether you want to receive or deliver “good” BIM models,
regola is for you.
Specify and share the requirements
Assemble rules to create your specification: a wide catalog of parametric rules is always growing. Specifications can be shared with other users.
Use a simple language
Create a specification that both you and your computer can understand. You can include rules in your contract, since they are expressed in natural language.
Run it!
Check the validity of BIM models against the specification. Both clients and suppliers can do it.
Open, open, open!
All rules run on IFC models. The latest IFC 4.3 for infrastructure is supported too!
