IFC4

IFC4 (Industry Foundation Classes version 4) is a standardized model used in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries to share detailed information about building designs and structures. It enables different software tools to communicate seamlessly by providing a common language for describing building components, materials, and spatial relationships. This promotes collaboration, reduces errors, and improves efficiency throughout a building's lifecycle—from design and construction to maintenance. Think of IFC4 as a universal digital blueprint that ensures everyone involved in a project can access and understand consistent, accurate building data.
