The benefits of BIM for the Camp Nou redevelopment
The use of BIM in the Camp Nou renovation project has resulted in classic but important benefits such as:
Improving the accuracy and quality of design and construction
The BIM model allows design teams and construction crews to work with greater accuracy, reducing the risk of errors and quality issues.
The BIM model serves as a centralized platform for communication and collaboration between the various disciplines involved in the project.
Reducing costs and delays
Using BIM technologies to simulate and analyze the construction process helps identify and resolve potential problems before they occur on site, reducing costs and minimizing project delays.
Improving environmental friendliness
A BIM model can be used to analyze the environmental impact of a project and make design decisions that will help minimize that impact.

Complexities of the reconstruction project
The reconstruction of Camp Nou today presents the following series of complex challenges:
Maintaining stadium operations during construction
The Camp Nou is one of the busiest stadiums in the world, with a capacity of 99,354 spectators. It is important that the renovation work does not interfere with any matches or events scheduled to take place at the stadium.
Integration of new design with existing one
The new Camp Nou structure must be in harmony with the stadium's historical structure and identity.
Compliance with the highest environmental standards
FC Barcelona aims to build an eco-friendly stadium that will reduce its environmental impact to a minimum.

Thus, BIM technology is used to effectively perform 4 key tasks:
Development of a digital 3D model of the stadium
A detailed 3D digital model of the Camp Nou stadium was created, which includes all the information about the stadium’s structure, equipment and engineering systems. This model allows the design and construction teams to visualise the project in its entirety and work collaboratively with representatives of different disciplines.
