With 18 subsidiaries and a 350-strong workforce, Edy Toscano is one of the largest providers of engineering, planning and consultancy services in Switzerland. To make sure that it stays ahead of the game, the company has set itself a very ambitious goal: to roll out BIM (building information modeling) across the entire organization by 2021. “Building information modeling is a game-changing advance when it comes to planning and managing building projects. At Edy Toscano, we already create 3D models of various parameters like statics and formworks”, explains Guy Chardonnens, Manager of the Villars-sur-Glâne office. When used to its fullest potential, BIM transforms how structures are planned, designed, constructed and managed. “The impact on architects and consulting engineers will be as far-reaching as when computers replaced drawing boards.”
