Make the right decisions at the right time
As BIM is an information process for the duration of a building's entire life cycle, the information looks very different depending on the project phase and the suppliers involved. The Zynka model divides the process into four main areas, which address the different challenges and opportunities of each phase.

Working with Zynka BIM
Zynka BIMs has vast experience in BIM strategy implementation in medium to large sized organizations. Our way of working is based on well-established, internationally applicable BIM standards.
The main goals are always to create more efficient work processes, minimize errors and in the long run result in a less time and cost-consuming building life cycle.
People, process and technology
Our implementation process focuses on the interplay between three key factors; People, Process and Technology. Without one of the three, the overall implementation and handling of a new strategy will never be as successful. People provide knowledge, experience and expertise. People require structured processes to ensure customers good governance, validation of data and best practice of for example information management in the FIM-phase. A well-thought through process also enables technology in a scalable and adaptable way, for handling data and information throughout the whole building life cycle.
Support from the directing board
The most important pre-requisite for establishing and implementing a new BIM strategy is the direct support from the directing board of the company. Without that, you run the risk of facing resistance within the organization with reference to “the old way of doing things”.
Transparency
A digital strategy requires transparency from everyone involved. It is a necessity to get full insight into both effective and ineffective processes within the organization, in order to be able to adapt current systems and prepare for future digital development.
Agile process
Nothing is changed or perfected overnight. Any business, process or workforce is unique, which means that continuous evaluation and development is required for a successful transition towards a new work practice. A clear vision set within an overall strategy, together with clearly defined implementation milestones, will strongly contribute to achieve an effective BIM process – tailored to your business' needs and vision.
