Welcome to BLM

About Us
The Chair of Building Lifecycle Management is dedicated to the research, development, targeted communication and application of integrated planning methods, with a particular focus on connecting need- and user-oriented planning approaches with innovative digital methods such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and AI. Our goal is to develop sustainable solutions in architecture through innovative approaches that meet the demands of a dynamic and ever-changing world.

Focus in Research and Teaching
Our work focuses on the development and application of integrated planning concepts that enable the holistic and efficient realization of complex construction projects. We place special emphasis on user- and needs-oriented planning methodologies, which are implemented in the early, conceptual phases of a project. This phase is crucial for setting the course for a successful and sustainable implementation.

Sustainability Through Technology
At the core of our work is the integration of cutting-edge digital technologies with holistic planning principles. With the help of BIM and advanced construction informatics, we create the conditions for seamless, transparent, and sustainable planning and implementation of projects. Our approaches enable more efficient use of resources, cost optimization, and simultaneously enhance the quality and sustainability of construction projects.

Relevance to Practice and Innovation
We work closely with industry partners, public institutions, and other research institutes to ensure that our methods and tools are both relevant to practice and innovative. We employ an interdisciplinary approach, integrating expertise from various fields to provide new perspectives and solutions to the challenges in architecture. Additionally, we actively contribute to the advancement of international BIM standards, such as the IFC.

Our Contribution to a Sustainable Future
Through the combination of integrated planning, advanced construction informatics, and a clear focus on user needs, we contribute to making construction projects not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable and future-proof. We are convinced that careful and holistic planning is key to improving people's quality of life while preserving the environment.
