Data management using building information modeling for chemical building products

This paper shows the innovative solution based on BIM technology proposed for the digitalization of chemical products for buildings, focusing particularly on admixtures for concrete and products for restoration of existing buildings. The first step is leading the prospective buyer from his necessity to the selection of proper solution; the decisional process, that is based on the Fault Tree Analysis, starts from some generic questions, whose answers combined with themselves give the appropriate mix design in according to UNI EN 934-2 for concrete or the correct product and the prescription specifications for the other cases. Thanks to the digitalization of information made possible by the BIM process, established the correct product, it is now possible to define the products attributes necessary to inform the specific stakeholders and to import them to digital model in order to reduce the inaccuracies during the constructive phases and to draw a guideline for the eventual restoration.
