Summary
Thomas Liebich is the founder and director of AEC3, driving digital transformation in the construction sector for over two decades with a deep focus on Building Information Modeling (BIM). He advises public authorities, owners, operators and contractors on end-to-end digital strategy and implementation, translating complex processes into operational practice. A leader in standardization, he steered IFC development at buildingSMART and played a central role in its adoption as EN ISO 16739-1, and now chairs multiple DIN, CEN and ISO working groups on BIM information exchanges. He also developed BIMQ, a widely used information management platform across the DACH region that underpins trusted project data workflows. With a Doktor-Ingenieur and Dipl.-Ing. in Architecture from Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, he combines rigorous academic training with hands-on product and standards leadership. Less obvious: he pairs long-term sector perspective (since AEC3’s founding in 1997) with practical delivery in both policy and software.
