Building Information Modelling (BIM) provides new strategic solutions for the planning and realisation of construction projects as well as the operation of buildings.
BIM supports the universal use of digital building blocks and efficiently links everyone involved in the planning, construction, and operation of buildings. At its heart is a digital data model, with which the planned construction project is realised in virtual form before any actual building work takes place. The Building Information Modelling tools enable information to be exchanged and shared between the partners involved.
Schüco supports users of the BIM method with planning modules and interfaces. These are continuously developed and regularly adapted to correspond to the state of the art.
Schüco is a member of the specialist association Bauprodukte Digital (digital construction products) and buildingSMART e.V.
Using BIM with Schüco
New BIM data now available for the following Schüco products:
Façades product group: Schüco AOC 50 ST and AOC 75 TI add-on constructions allow large-scale vertical façades and skylights with passive house-certified thermal insulation to be constructed for substructures made from timber and steel. The Schüco FWS 50 standard mullion/transom system has been expanded to include FWS 50 SG structural glazing and the FWS 50 skylight option. The Schüco FWS 35 PD panorama design façade has been updated.
Sun shading product line: As external sun shading that is fully integrated in the Schüco window and façade systems, the new Schüco CSB (Concealed Shaped Blind) offers a convenient shading solution.
The new content is available in the following formats: Revit, AutoCAD and PDF.
With the existing Schüco Revit interface, users also have the option of swapping metal construction items with the metal fabricator and façade designers and substantiating this as a team.

Planning with BIM
BIM (Building Information Modelling) is a digital method for planning, building and operating buildings. It offers many benefits in the planning stages, such as:
- Integral planning in the digital building model
- Comprehensive software support with all planning steps
- Digital specialist models for architecture, building technology and load-bearing structure
- Data exchange of specialist models with the IFC data format
-
Building with BIM
BIM (Building Information Modelling) is a digital method for planning, building and operating buildings. It offers many benefits in the building phase, such as:
- Data model-supported prefabrication of construction units directly from planning
- Digitally supported and therefore easier communication between those involved
- Use of advanced digital communication methods such as augmented reality
- Digital documentation of construction progress
-
Operating with BIM
BIM (Building Information Modelling) is a digital method for planning, building and operating buildings. During this stage, it offers:
- Support for planning and simulating processes in complex buildings such as hospitals or airports
- Use of the digital building model for building management for care, maintenance, commissioning and component tests
- Solutions for smart building or the Internet of Things relating directly to the building use
Digital planning and building
At this point, Schüco would like to provide support with information, experiences and other links from users of the BIM method. The planning, construction and operation of buildings are taken into account.

Bauprodukte Digital
Bauprodukte Digital (digital construction products) is a specialist association which emerged from a manufacturer initiative and is part of the German association for building systems (Bundesverband Bausysteme e.V.). The challenges of digitalisation in construction can be tackled better together. The design and handling of construction product planning data and the processes applied in planning, designing and managing buildings are currently the focus of our efforts. With the label “productsforbim”, the new specialist association stands for use of the BIM method with direct reference to real construction products. Schüco has been a member of the specialist association Bauprodukte Digital since 2018.

buildingSMART Deutschland e.V.
buildingSMART Deutschland is the German branch of buildingSMART International and aims to improve the exchange of information between software applications in the construction industry by means of neutral and open standards for Building Information Modelling (BIM). All efforts are focused on the timely organisational, process-related and technical support of digital processes across the entire value added chain for construction, with the aim of achieving an open, i.e. manufacturer and product-independent working method. Schüco Digital GmbH has been an active member of buildingSMART Deutschland e.V. since 2008.
Plan.One
Plan.One bridges the gap between developers and manufacturers in construction. Designed as an intelligent assistance system by architects and for architects, Plan.One allows you to quickly search for and compare products tailored perfectly to your building project. Product details and planning information can be copied over directly into standard planning software. Plan.One thereby creates market transparency, saves time for lengthy searches, and simplifies and speeds up the workflow. As an interactive business intelligence tool, Plan.One enables the extensive digitalisation of work processes and revolutionises the interaction between architects, developers, manufacturers and contracted companies in the construction industry. Plan.One is an initiative of Schüco International KG.

Digital twin – digital image of the building
Building Information Modelling (BIM) lays the foundations for the integrated planning, construction and operation of buildings. Planning requires separate consideration of the different dimensions of planning, construction and management. The associated processes are thereby optimised.
Stronger in a network - practise BIM together
Digital networking strengthens cooperative partnerships, helps save time and money, and makes life easier. The first pilot projects have taken place and the principles learned from them can be applied further. Digital support makes it easier and faster to pursue the same aims.
Plan better with Schüco - planning tools for CAD and BIM
Digital collaboration is supported by the use of Schüco planning data. Each planning task holds new challenges. Digital product data helps to find real solutions quicker. Working together in digital building and specialist models allows everyone involved to achieve better results than with conventional methods.
