Deciding together: a BIM-based platform for participative design processes

Abstract

This article discusses aspects of building a digital platform that allows non-technical actors to participate in the development of the design of public facilities using BIM. The concept of the design of such a platform refers to characteristics specific to BIM, aiming at an equivalence between the contributions of non-technical and technical actors to the process. We have developed a platform prototype and studied its adaptation to different applications. The article discusses the construction and testing of the different versions and the preliminary results of performance tests.
