Project Objectives
As one of the first BIM projects, Kruse Architekten started the partnering process with the construction company Heinrich Karstens, in November 2017 with the preparation of the building permit and implementation planning of a hotel and conference centre in Travemünde. The new building with 110 rooms and suites, various flexible conference rooms and commercial units made high demands on the planning offices involved. Together with the general contractor and the specialist planning offices, there was the will to put the available, different software solutions in the sense of openBIM through their paces.
openBIM Achievements
Based on the building models, planning approvals, quantity surveys, planning meetings on the 3D model, lighting simulation and coordination with contractors were carried out. Kruse Architekten was responsible for BIM management and overall BIM coordination. The respective specialist planners were internally responsible for the quality assurance of their own models. The IFC specialist models were checked and evaluated every 14 days using the Solibri Model Checker. The use of BCF files, with the option of marking differences according to the component, greatly facilitated communication. The resulting transparency in the planning process had a positive effect on the cooperation.

Strategic Alignment
Specialist planners and building contractors and their in-house software solutions were bound to the project at an early stage. The exchange of IFC specialist models, rule-based model validation, BCF data exchange, mass determination and basic GW determination from the building model were integrated into the planning process. Employees had to be enabled to use the in-house software for 3D modelling, responsibilities for quality assurance had to be named, new applications had to be acquired, understood and consistently applied. Further training, specialisation and networking were the consequences of switching for successful project development according to the BIM methodology.
Highlights
A generous ground floor, packed with technical equipment and rooms above, as well as a 300m² column-free conference hall with high-quality event and ventilation technology are the special features of this project. The shell of the building and parts of the interior fittings were planned and executed in modular form. The bathroom units with steam shower and LED starry sky were designed and manufactured as assembly kits. The balcony unit in front of the building as a powder-coated steel construction was also planned, tested and approved according to the openBIM methodology. Through consistent application of the BIM process, the complexity of the technical building equipment, which in some cases requires very little space, could be understood and evaluated at an early stage.

Detailed description of the project
As one of the first BIM projects, Kruse Architekten started the partnering process with the construction company Heinrich Karstens from Kiel, in November 2017 with the preparation of the building permit and implementation planning of a hotel and conference centre in Travemünde. The new building with 110 rooms and suites, various flexible conference rooms and commercial units such as a fireplace lounge, tapas bar, bakery, day spa and wine bar made high demands on the planning offices involved. Together with the general contractor Heinrich Karstens and the specialist planning offices, there was the will to put the available, different software solutions in the sense of openBIM through their paces. Specialist planners and building contractors and their in-house software solutions were bound to the project at an early stage. The exchange of IFC specialist models, rule-based model validation, BCF data exchange, mass determination and basic LV determination from the building model were integrated into the day-to-day planning process. Employees had to be enabled to use the in-house software for 3D modelling and responsibilities for the in-house quality assurance had to be named, new applications had to be acquired, understood and consistently applied. Further training, specialisation and networking were the consequences of a disruptive changeover to processes that had been familiar to date for successful project development in accordance with the BIM methodology.The building combines various public and closed areas of use on different floors.
The new building with 110 rooms and suites, various flexible conference rooms and commercial units such as fireplace lounge, tapas bar, bakery, day spa and wine bar made high demands on the planning offices involved. On the ground floor commercial units with glass folding systems, to open the building to the promenade. The facilities there range from the supply of hotel guests and the surrounding holiday homes, to gastronomic offers and a wellness area in the form of a day spa. In the middle floors there are apartments with superior and comfort equipment. Each with pantry kitchens and steam showers. On the upper floor, large hall and flexibly interconnectable smaller conference rooms with high-quality event technology. Kruse Architects faced special challenges in the coordination of the technical building equipment, structural design, interior design, fire and noise protection. A spacious ground floor, packed with technical equipment and rooms above, as well as a 300m² column-free conference hall with high-quality event and ventilation technology are the special features of this project. The digitization level was set to LOG 350/400 and LOI 300. On the basis of the building models, planning approvals, quantity surveys, planning meetings on the 3D model, lighting simulation and coordination with contractors were carried out. The model quality was ensured with the Solibri Model Checker. The building combines various public and closed areas of use on different floors.

Detailed description of openBIM on the project
IFC models were requested by the BIM coordinator, Kruse Architekten, as a basis for the data check. The data and differences evaluated in the Model Checker were communicated via BCF interface. The check took place every 14 days. The 2D paper plans according to DIN, which are necessary for documentation and construction site, were directly derived from the models. This redundant work cancelled out the previous gain in quality and quantity.

Benefits from using openBIM
The model was used to determine masses as a basis for schedules and cost calculations. The model data was used in steel construction and for the balcony elements directly in production. The model was used for mass determinations and project meetings. The data exchange and interoperability was significantly improved by openBIM. By using the IFC and BCF interfaces, there were hardly or no problems when exchanging planning data.
