Description
The FireBIM platform relies on Building Information Modelling (BIM), Open Data
standards, semantic data modelling, and web technologies specifically addressing international collaboration and computational interoperability. It resembles an interpreter, inspector, and validator of the regulations, thus also helping authorities facilitate and regulate fire safety more efficiently. Using FireBIM, design teams will be digitally assisted to create safer and better
buildings cost-effectively. The FireBIM platform will purposefully be open source, providing the infrastructure for developers to bring the FireBIM concept to new countries and applications.
FireBIM gathers 49 partners from eight countries committed to enabling fire safety engineering with faster, more precise, user-centered applications while supporting integration with other AEC standards and tools. The novel FireBIM technology stack will provide the most effective measures for minimizing human risk as early as the building design process.

Layman's description
The FireBIM project aims to harmonize and implement the fire codes of the participating countries in an open-source, web-based BIM platform for fire safety assessment that facilitates (inter)national fire safety documentation and compliance from the early design stages. By relying on state-of-the-art web technologies, the platform suggests contextual fire safety improvements
to early-stage design proposals based on the relevant national, regional, and local building codes. As such, the goal of FireBIM is to develop a user-centred web-based platform to:
1. enable the collective interpretation of fire regulations in all partner countries
2. reduce the barriers to international collaboration and fire safety design competition for Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) companies;
3. enable automated compliance checking of buildings against fire safety regulations; and
4. reduce international barriers for building products and services
to early-stage design proposals based on the relevant national, regional, and local building codes. As such, the goal of FireBIM is to develop a user-centred web-based platform to:
