MBO2BIM - Digitization of the Model Building Code: Preparation for BIM-based inspection tools

A few months ago, the research project for the digitalization of the Model Building Code (MBO) was launched together with the DIBt (German Institute for Building Technology) and the City of Hamburg. It is intended to enable a digital and BIM-based inspection for authorities, as well as building applicants, which runs unambiguously and equally.

Building Concrete Monitoring (BCOM) with Liu Liu

Liu Liu has been a research assistant at the chair since March 2020. She studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Cologne. She then went into practice and later studied civil engineering at the RUB in parallel in the master's program. Today she is a member of the projects AMSFREE and BIM4AMS. Furthermore, together with Philipp Hagedorn, she has developed a Building Concrete Monitoring (BCOM) ontology for construction.
