BIM7AA TYPE CODING is a simple and operational code structure for building components based on consultant requirements and experience in design and planning, danish building norms and ”best practice” from complex to manageable BIM projects.
BIM7AA Type Code is a simple encoding method for BIM components based on the consultant’s design requirements, experiences, Danish way of building and best practice for all size BIM projects. The structure in BIM7AA Type Code is a modernized version of the familiar and thoroughly tested SfB system, modified to suit today’s requirements for managing a BIM project. This method structures and generates cohesion between the BIM components, tender list, specification and quantity take-offs (QTO) here by defining the interface between the consultants professions. In doing so, a simple standardization of the consultant´s internal methods of production is obtained, making it adaptable to the specific project in terms of classifications, properties and other relevant parameters to each project. BIM7AA Type Code is not developed with the intention of being a classification system – but its structure makes it easy to use for classification purposes. One of the purposes of BIM7AA Type Code is to meet 80-90 percent of the needs for type coding of a given project. The remaining 10-20% is to be developed company-specific and/or project specific. BIM7AA compiles experiences from running projects to update the Type Code.
- Complies with the Executive Order of CT Order 118 and 119 § 4 on requirements for structuring digital building objects
- Complies with the requirements for management of building models and objects cf. CF Order 118 and 119
- Practice-oriented
- Easy to integrate with other classification systems like DBK, CCS, IFC management - classification
- Is a commercial viable method for building-project consultants
- Does not require supplementary software
- Free of charge

BIM7AA wants to share the results of this collaboration and has therefore chosen to make the BIM7AA Type Code available for everyone. The Type Code is already being used in ongoing projects by the companies participating in the BIM7AA task force, who are at the same time compiling the lessons learnt from this to make ongoing updates of the Type Codes)
BIM7AA can be easily be integrated into IT systems. You will find our page for developers and software manufacturers here BIM7AA-API on GitHub.
MIT - The Type Code is an open-source document which is made available free of charge. BIM7AA cannot be held liable for how the user of the Type Code chooses to use it.
