Digital Tools

To support efficiently your Deconstruction and reuse projects, DDC partners developed 3 advanced digital tools, the Quick 3D Scan and viewer, the Reversible BIM tool and the CIRDAX material inventory platform.

The 3 tools can be used independently or usefully interconnected through the Digital Deconstruction Platform.

What for

Digitalize your building

Analyse reuse and reversibility potential
Assess environmental impacts, reuse and disassembly strategy

Manage deconstructed products and secure property rights
Main interests

Creating and managing digital twins of existing buildings by using 3D scanning and machine learning for automatic equipment inventory

Assess the reuse potential of a building and its materials and present results through 3D color-coded visual overview as well as graphs and tables, as a support to define, validate and/or present a reuse strategy of building materials and their environmental and economic impact

Provide valuable economic information about a building’s performance with regard to circularity, detachability and embodied carbon. Follow the upcomming laws and regulations, and use new financial valuations that increase the sustainability process and make it easier, faster and cheaper.
