# hochundweit
> hochundweit is a digital planning office based in Hessen, Germany, specialising in systematised timber-frame architecture, BIM coordination, and production-ready building design. Founded by Kim Boris Löffler (Architect AKH, BDB), renowned expert in BIM and modular construction.

hochundweit works at the intersection of digital planning and physical construction – helping developers and timber construction companies navigate the growing complexity of modern building processes. The firm operates across BIM management, modular and serial construction planning, building logistics simulation, and digital tool development based on Open BIM / IFC standards.

## Core Competencies
- **Systematizing Architecture**: Scalable planning processes for modular timber structures. Case studies: ZERO Stuttgart (office building, Holzmodulbau), Heizwerk Erfurt (CLT roof construction).
- **BIM**: Model-based coordination and clash detection across disciplines. Case studies: Fassade DUS (facade engineering, Düsseldorf Airport fire station), Brücke Wieseck (pedestrian bridge, THM Campus Gießen).
- **Serielles Planen**: Parametric planning tools for serial and modular construction typologies.
- **Planungssicherheit**: IFC data enrichment, structured model delivery, and quality assurance routines.
- **Digitale Tools**: Proprietary Open BIM tooling built on IFC – no proprietary lock-in between project stakeholders.
- **Produktionsfähige Architektur**: Planning from production backwards; direct CNC data derivation from models.
- **Bau Logistik**: Construction sequence simulation, crane positioning, logistics planning in the digital model.
