Solutions for digital construction planning
Construction site planning
Accurate planning is essential for a successful construction site. We support architects and construction planners with suitable solutions and services early on in the process. Our PLAN services are primarily geared towards digital construction planning and its planning processes. This means that cranes can be selected to perfectly match requirements and that they can be easily integrated into digital construction site processes. At the core of our planning activities are our comprehensive Crane Information Models (CIM), which we will be rolling out for all our cranes in future.
With appropriate software tools on the user side, CIM models deliver additional advantages:
– Visualisation of the crane working range
– Easier search for optimal crane positioning in digital planning
– Semantic testing and error detection
– Integration into a VR environment
Liebherr also supports planning with customised tools, advisory services and other tailored solutions.
Digitalisation in construction planning – the key terms
What exactly does BIM mean and what can you use Crane Information Models for? Take a look at the main buzzwords used in digital construction planning.
- BIM
- CIM
- CDE
- IFC
BIM
Building Information Modelling (BIM) refers to a method of networked planning, implementation and management of buildings and other structures with the aid of software. All relevant building data is digitally modelled, combined and captured. The building is also visualised in geometric form as a virtual model. Here, different levels of detail (LoD) are defined in terms of both geometry (Level of Geometry, LoG) and information (Level of Information, LoI). BIM enables collaborative working on construction projects. Construction project information is collected on a central data platform (Common Data Environment, CDE) and made available to all involved.

Crane Information Models – a quick guide!
How will our CI-models work in future and in what ways will they help architects and construction planners in their day-to-day work? Users will be able to configure their chosen crane via the Crane Configurator and then receive a digital model of their product, including a 3D representation. High-quality 2D crane models complete the planning portfolio for digital construction planning. Once configured, cranes can then be used for other applications within digital construction planning (BIM).
The video describes the key aspects of this and how to find the right crane in the Liebherr Crane Configurator.
