Case Study: Bavarian State Building Administration achieves faster BIM collaboration with Catenda Hub

Bavarian State Building Administration (ZBIM) gets new colleagues ready in 10–30 minutes with Catenda

The Bavarian State Building Administration (zbim) faced the challenge of implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) for the first time on a new administrative building in Ebern. As a public administration, they needed a common data environment (CDE) that could support new BIM processes and allow all employees, not just BIM experts, to collaborate using open exchange formats like IFC and BCF.

Catenda provided its solution, Catenda Hub, which served as an open CDE platform. The platform enabled centralized document management, model viewing in IFC format, and efficient issue and task management via BCF. This resulted in a single source of truth that eliminated the need for chasing information via phone calls and email. The solution had a measurable impact, with new colleagues able to get started in just 10-30 minutes and uploads being 60 minutes faster on average than with other programs.
