The use of BIM in fire protection, e.g. for data centers, offers precise and efficient planning that is specifically tailored to the complex requirements of this highly specialized infrastructure. Early collision review and the integration of fire protection solutions into the digital model allow for the identification and elimination of potential safety risks as well as sources of error before construction begins. Minimax is at your side as a competent partner.
With Building Information Modeling, or BIM for short, you can map your fire protection project as a digital twin of the real building with the corresponding installed technology. This allows you to plan transparently and accessibly right from the start and make realistic assumptions. Your project success is important to us – contact us directly for an expert consultation.
Maximum safety with digital twin
All fire protection systems are recorded realistically in a central 3D model. Changes are visible to all trades and faults are detected at an early stage.
Transparent planning and documentation
Detailed information on fire protection systems, materials and connections is available at all times. This ensures consistent and audit-proof documentation
Efficient coordination between trades
Thanks to central data storage, planning errors are reduced, interfaces are optimized and the exchange between trades is improved.
Sustainable project management and cost control
BIM enables precise cost and life cycle analyses, resource-saving planning and model-based quality control.

Our cloud solutions rely on EU servers for maximum data protection security
We use state-of-the-art BIM software and have developed our own libraries with over 4,000 articles in nearly 600 Revit families. Our specially adapted tools enable precise and efficient planning of fire protection systems.
Standardized workflows and quality assurance measures ensure smooth project execution and reliable results. We use proven methods to guarantee consistent quality in all project phases.
Our certified BIM coordinators have extensive practical experience and undergo continuous further training. They accompany your project from the initial concept to the final implementation.
BIM offers an efficient method to improve planning and construction processes. The advantages lie in the early integration and precise coordination of all trades, which leads to considerable savings in time and costs. Here are the key aspects:
Data acquisition and modeling
Initially, we create a detailed digital model of the fire protection systems or integrate our systems into your existing BIM model. All relevant parameters are defined and implemented.
Collision review and coordination
The integrated model enables early identification of planning conflicts. We coordinate all fire protection measures with other trades and optimize the spatial arrangement.
Documentation and handover
Once the project is complete, you will receive full digital documentation of all fire protection systems. This serves as the basis for operation, maintenance and future conversions.

How does BIM consulting work?
In an initial meeting, we analyze your requirements and explain our BIM methodology. We then create a customized offer for your project and present you with the possible solutions.
Which fire protection solutions can be planned with BIM?
Minimax uses BIM to plan and implement all essential fire protection installations - from sprinkler systems and smoke extraction systems to fire detection and extinguishing systems. Safety-relevant components such as fire walls, emergency exits and escape routes are also modelled, visualized and checked for placement by Minimax. For gas and water extinguishing systems, we also carry out hydraulic calculations to determine the water volumes, pump capacities or gas volumes required for your project.
What advantages does BIM offer over conventional planning?
BIM reduces planning errors through continuous collision reviews, accelerates the planning process through centralized data storage and improves communication between all project participants through a common data model.
What data do we need from you?
Ideally, you provide us with floor plans, sections and technical specifications. If a BIM model already exists, we can seamlessly integrate our fire protection planning. We can also consult you on data compilation.
What advantages does BIM offer for the maintenance and servicing of fire protection systems?
Once the building has been erected, the BIM model remains a valuable resource for the maintenance and servicing of fire protection systems. It provides the customer with all relevant technical properties of the installed components - from article numbers for spare parts management to nominal connection sizes for mechanical components or connection ratings for electrical components. This allows maintenance and servicing processes to be planned and carried out in a more targeted and efficient manner.
