Supplier independence comes from letting building information live on independently of individual systems and supplier environments.
Supplier independence does not mean avoiding all systems. It means ensuring that information can live on when tools, suppliers or technical environments change.
A system-independent information model makes it possible to replace tools, add new technology and develop a building step by step. The structure remains consistent even when individual systems are replaced.
This reduces both technical and financial risk. The property owner retains a stronger negotiating position and can make decisions based on operational needs rather than an earlier choice of technology.
