What is IFC?

Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) is an open, international standard for Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, used to exchange information between different software applications in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Developed by buildingSMART, it acts as a common language, enabling seamless collaboration and data sharing among various stakeholders.
