AI for BIM

Artificial intelligence for BIM

Tailored automation for Revit and Civil 3D, element recognition and automated model checking, rules of use and training that comply with the AI Act: artificial intelligence applied to models, signed off by an engineer.
At a glance

B1P Group's artificial intelligence for BIM service applies AI to information models: tailored automation for Revit and Civil 3D that removes repetitive tasks, element recognition and automated checking against the information requirements, assistants for reading information requirements and tender documents, training and rules of use that comply with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act). Every result is checked and signed off by an engineer.

Definition

What can AI already do on BIM models today?

It recognises: it classifies unclassified elements, finds objects modelled with the wrong tool and spots inconsistencies between the model and the drawings. It verifies: it checks parameters, rules and clashes on large models within timeframes no engineer could manage, and flags what needs looking at. It automates: it places repeated elements, fills in parameters, lays out sheets and prepares exports. It reads: it extracts requirements from long information requirements and tender rules.

What it does not do: design, decide, sign. That is why at B1P Group AI works within a process in which the engineer defines the task, checks the result and is accountable for it, as the AI Act requires for professional uses.

What is tailored automation?

Programs built around the work of a project or an organisation: placing hundreds of supports along a railway alignment, filling in the parameters of thousands of objects from a table, checking a model against the rules of the information requirements at every delivery, generating sheets and schedules to a standard. B1P Group develops them for itself and for clients, in Revit and Civil 3D, and delivers them with documentation.

Automation pays off when the work is repetitive and measurable: on a small model it is not worth it, on a railway line or a hospital it saves weeks.

How does automated model checking work?

The rules in the information requirements and the BIM execution plan are turned into executable checks; AI helps write the rules from the text of the requirements, classify the elements and read the results, flagging anything anomalous. The final report is the same as in model checking, with one difference: the checks are repeated at every delivery at no extra cost.

The engineer remains responsible: they read the flags, decide what is a non-conformity and sign the report. AI has widened how much can be checked, not who is accountable for the check.

What does the AI Act require of technical practices and firms?

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 classifies AI systems by risk and imposes increasing obligations; for common professional uses (assistants, automation, checking) it requires transparency, human oversight, competence of the people using the tools and data protection. Most of the obligations apply from 2 August 2026, with a system of supervision and penalties.

B1P Group helps organisations write internal rules for the use of AI (which tools, for which tasks, with which checks and which data), train their people and respond to information requirements that are starting to ask how AI is used on the project. On the legal aspects we work with our partner law firm.

Artificial intelligence for BIM

Do we use it ourselves first?

Yes. The tools we offer were developed on our own projects: automation for the electric traction of a metro line, automated checks on the building services models of a hospital complex, assistants for reading information requirements in the tenders we work on. What does not work on our models, we do not sell.

It is also how we train: real cases, tools in use, limits stated openly.

Uses

What should you entrust to AI, and what not?

The uses we adopt on projects, with the check that goes with each one.

TaskWhat AI doesWhat the engineer does
Element classificationProposes class and parameters for unclassified objectsSpot-checks and approves
Model checkingRuns the checks, flags anomalies, ranks them by severityDecides on non-conformities and signs the report
Modelling automationPlaces, fills in and lays out according to rulesWrites the rules, checks the result
Reading information requirementsExtracts requirements, deadlines and risks from long documentsConfirms and decides on the bid
Design and decisionsNo use: this is not a task for AIDesigns, decides, is accountable

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about AI in BIM

Is our project data used to train AI models?

No. We only use authorised tools whose contract with the provider excludes the use of data to train models; models and documents remain the client's. It is one of the points of the internal rules of use that we help organisations write.

What changes for professional practices from 2 August 2026?

Most of the AI Act's obligations start to apply: for those using AI systems in common professional uses, this means transparency towards clients and collaborators, human oversight of results, staff competence and data protection. Internal rules and documented training are the simplest way to show compliance.

Can AI check a model instead of a human checker?

It can run the checks and flag anomalies; deciding what counts as a non-conformity and signing the report remain with an engineer, for reasons of professional liability and under the AI Act. The result is a broader, repeatable check, not a check without an engineer.

Do you provide training on AI in BIM?

Yes: for third parties (training providers, professional bodies and software vendors), in-house for teams, and in classes for individuals: what AI does on models, with which tools and which rules, using real cases from our projects.
