Building Information Modelling – Taking The Next Step In Fire Safety Design Workflow

Building Information Modelling (BIM) revolutionizes fire safety engineering by enabling collaborative, model-based workflows that integrate design, construction, and operations across a building's lifecycle. Transitioning to BIM enhances fire and life safety (FLS) design and adds value by incorporating fire safety elements from project inception to completion.

In his article for International Fire Protection Magazine, Fire Safety Engineer Juho Pussinen explores how integrating fire safety elements into a BIM project can enhance value and improve collaboration among stakeholders. The article examines the current use of BIM in FLS design and highlights the benefits of adopting a BIM-based workflow in the FLS design process.

The global use of BIM is anticipated to grow, driven by digitalization, which fosters more complex and coordinated designs across trades. Future developments include integrating advanced technologies like AI, AR, and digital twins. It is essential for FSE to adapt and lead in implementing these innovations.
