smino is a provider of BIM software
Better cooperation and more sustainable planning with automatic BIM model tests
BIM model checks ensure that your construction project is accurate and error-free.
By detecting and correcting errors in the model at an early stage. This saves you expensive and time-consuming corrections during the construction phase.
Comparing models makes it possible to quickly identify and correct deviations.
This means lower costs for you and on-time completion of the project.
BIM model checks also allow you to improve collaboration and coordination within the team.
Potential problems become visible as early as the planning phase, which increases efficiency and communication within the project team.
With an optimized BIM workflow, the entire project execution becomes smoother.
Ultimately, BIM helps to complete projects faster, more cost-efficiently and with higher quality.
For you, this means more transparency and security throughout the entire construction process, while you can implement your designs precisely and reliably.
In conjunction with industry solutions
Connection to Solibri
smino has created something truly groundbreaking with the direct cloud connection of CDE software to Solibri. Solibri is a Nemetschek Group company and is known for its first-class BIM tools. Now, thanks to this connection, you can use new model checking functions directly online and automatically.
You can check models of construction projects and perform general quality checks as well as various clash checks.
This innovative solution allows you to use Solibri’s advanced analysis and quality assurance tools seamlessly within smino. This significantly optimizes your workflow and improves the quality of your projects.
Communication and collaboration
BIM model checks significantly improve communication and collaboration in the construction project.
Errors and collisions are detected at an early stage, resulting in fewer delays and corrections.
Central storage and access to up-to-date model information means that everyone involved always has the latest data to hand. This reduces misunderstandings and promotes uniform planning.
In addition, the shared use of models facilitates coordination between architects, engineers and construction companies, which increases the efficiency and quality of the project.
Optimize quality
BIM model checks significantly improve the quality of the construction project by detecting and eliminating errors and collisions at an early stage.
These precise checks ensure that all construction elements are planned and integrated correctly. This minimizes the risk of expensive rework and delays.
In addition, the automatic quality check promotes continuous monitoring and optimization of the construction process.
This increases the overall quality of the project and the end result meets the high expectations of clients and customers.
Open BIM – a boost for strong teams
openBIM, also known as open BIM, promotes collaboration between different software solutions and disciplines in the construction industry. It ensures seamless communication and data integrity throughout the entire life cycle of a construction project. The aim is to implement construction projects efficiently and error-free.
Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of openBIM.
openBIM enables different software solutions to communicate with each other and exchange data. You are not tied to one software, choose the best tools and share data seamlessly between architects, engineers and construction companies.
openBIM improves collaboration as everyone involved has access to up-to-date information. This minimizes misunderstandings and errors, promotes open communication and shared understanding, and ensures that everyone works together efficiently.
openBIM facilitates long-term use and maintenance as all data remains accessible.This is important for facility management and renovations, improves sustainability, saves costs and protects the environment through well-founded decisions.
openBIM is a powerful method that makes your construction projects more efficient, transparent and sustainable. Thanks to interoperability, you can use the best tools without being tied to one software. The increased transparency and collaboration ensure that everyone involved is always on the same page.
In the long term, openBIM optimizes the use and maintenance of your building and enables sustainable decisions. By integrating openBIM, you achieve the best possible results while saving time and resources.

Automated model checking without detours
The world’s first direct cloud connection to Solibri allows you to check your BIM models directly online and automatically, without complex software solutions.
Our system enables comprehensive quality and clash checks of your BIM projects in the cloud, resulting in immediate improvements and increased efficiency.
General quality check for better building planning
This function checks your models for formal requirements. Here you can find out whether duplicate elements are present or whether dimensions correspond to the specifications.
Imagine how much time you will save if you no longer have to check every detail manually.
You can rest assured that your model meets the highest quality standards.
Collision check for fewer expensive delays
By superimposing two models, possible collisions are revealed, e.g. between concrete walls and ventilation ducts. This allows you to identify and rectify problems at an early stage before they lead to expensive delays on the construction site.
With our solution, you can see potential conflicts immediately and react accordingly.
Create tasks directly
The list of errors from the quality and collision checks can be validated and prioritized. Thanks to the BCF import function, you can also upload BCF files to smino. You have the option of creating tasks directly and providing the error list to the model creator. They can edit the errors directly in the modeling program.
Visualization with the 3D Viewer
With the integrated viewer on smino, you can superimpose several models, navigate, take measurements, create sectional planes and break down models into components. Whether in the browser or with a tablet on the construction site — work directly in the model, make changes and keep an eye on all the details. This visualization simplifies collaboration and project management considerably.
Our innovative solution revolutionizes the checking and processing of BIM models. Cloud connectivity and automated checks save you time and money and increase the quality and accuracy of your projects.
