Home configuration and BIM · ASRR Tech
Why do buyer choices need stable codes?
A stable code connects a choice to model parts and handovers. Use readable descriptions for people and stable references for processing.
A practical example
An option name changes while its underlying configuration stays the same.
This is an illustrative situation for assessing your own process.
Checklist for your team
- Define choice identifiers.
- Keep descriptions separate.
- Test renaming.
What does success look like?
A presentation change does not break the choice reference.
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.
