FAQ Data­Ex­pert / BIM

On the side of the providers (sell­ers) are the IGH mem­bers.
On the cus­tomer side are all in­stallers, plan­ners and ar­chi­tects whose field of ac­tiv­i­ty is build­ing services en­gi­neer­ing.

Di­rect­ly in your in­dus­try so­lu­tion. The pro­grammes of the im­por­tant in­dus­try so­lu­tion providers are equipped with the Data­Ex­pert^® stan­dard in­ter­face.

For cus­tomers who use e.g. MS Of­fice or their own pro­grams, IGH pro­vides se­lec­tion pro­grams free of charge with DataSelect.ch and DataS­e­lect, from which a Data­Ex­pert^® with the de­sired prod­ucts is made pos­si­ble.

Data­Ex­pert^® is the brand and name of the cat­a­logue stan­dard.

The da­ta con­tent of the ex­change process­es varies de­pend­ing on the part­ner. To en­sure that it is al­ways clear which doc­u­ments are in­volved, IGH451 has al­so been in­tro­duced.

• Data­Ex­pert^®: Ex­change be­tween trade and sup­pli­ers
• IGH451: Ex­change be­tween in­staller and trade.

Data­Ex­pert^®BIM is IGH's new cat­a­logue for­mat. It re­placed the old for­mat in 2018. In ad­di­tion to the orig­i­nal ten­der in­for­ma­tion, the BIM cat­a­logue al­so car­ries the fol­low­ing in­for­ma­tion:

Whole­sale da­ta:

• Pack­ag­ing units
• in­tend­ed use
• Tex­tu­al de­scrip­tion
• scope of de­liv­ery
• tech­ni­cal da­ta

VDI3805:

• Prod­uct group­ing
• tech­ni­cal prop­er­ties
• geom­e­try

The ad­di­tion­al in­for­ma­tion is not manda­to­ry for com­pat­i­bil­i­ty rea­sons. For the same rea­son, the old for­mat will con­tin­ue to be pub­lished in par­al­lel in the com­ing years.
