It has become clear that communicating about these errors is difficult and prone to errors. A specific object can be communicated and shared with partners through <a href=\"https:\/\/app.bimsupporters.com\/knowledge-base\/kb\/ifc\/\">IFC<\/a>, but a specific \u2018issue\u2019 is described over the phone or with screenshots.

Software suppliers Tekla and DDS are the original developers, but the standards has gone mainstream and is supported by all major software vendors. BCF is a set of agreements on how issues are to be exchanged.
