Home configuration and BIM · ASRR Tech
How do you separate fixed and variable parts of a housing concept?
Describe what stays fixed and what varies by project or buyer. Give variables meanings shared by design and delivery.
A practical example
The basic installation remains fixed while facade material varies by project.
This is an illustrative situation for assessing your own process.
Checklist for your team
- List fixed parts.
- Name variables.
- Check example projects.
What does success look like?
A new variant does not require reinterpreting the entire concept.
Test this with a recognisable record and have a colleague review the outcome. Note missing information or decisions. Use that finding to improve a working agreement before applying the process more broadly.
Home configuration and BIM: the wider process
A home configuration becomes useful for construction when choices have a clear meaning in the model and handover. Separate what is fixed for a housing concept from what varies by project or buyer. Record versions and dependencies and test combinations rather than only individual options. Visual correctness is one check; buildability and handover completeness require their own assessment. Discuss the available Alpha configuration and BIM workflow for your concept and validate it with a representative home.
