Welcome to Nine O’Clock Banana. The blog about the final and conclusive truth about BIM!
Now you may wonder about the connection between bananas and BIM, and why on earth nine o’clock? Well, when we founded Datacubist in 2009 with my colleague Sakari Lehtinen, he took the habit of eating a banana every morning at nine o’clock, and we had many of our best ideas on his daily banana break.
One obvious banana related feature we came up with early on is peeling, the functionality of dragging and dropping objects from a 3D window such that they disappear from that 3D window and appear somewhere else. Peeling is still one of the unique key features of simplebim®, but most ideas were naturally not even remotely banana-related.
Many of our ideas are implemented in the Simplebim® application or enabled by it, but this blog is not only about Simplebim®. We hope you find our ideas interesting and that we can even help you gain a deeper understanding of BIM, IFC data exchange and all the things around them. Ultimately to empower you with the knowledge, that working and reliable data exchange can create for you.

Putting the data science into BIM: a Simplebim FAQ
It’s no secret that the construction industry has been slow to embrace digitalisation and in particular, BIM. Whilst there are many reasons for this, the quality of BIM data is a significant one. That’s why we created Simplebim 15 years ago, to apply the principles of data science to BIM...
Tomi Tutti: Simplebim accelerates the growth of “citizen BIM experts”
With a background in civil engineering and computer science, Tomi Tutti joined Datacubist mid 2024 as Simplebim’s Product Manager. Having worked in BIM for 25 years, he was one of the first people to test the original version of Simplebim. He became reacquainted with the data wrangling software whilst working...
Applied BIM Data Science: How to unlock exponential value from BIM data
In the modern construction industry, data is as essential as the raw materials used in building. Just as we transform any raw material into high-value products, we need to approach data with the same mindset to unlock its full potential. This concept of a scalable and efficient data value chain...
