BIM (Building Information Modelling) is the digital
representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a
building. BIM allows enhanced collaboration of a projectsdesign team and delivers efficiencies, contributing to the
overall success of a project.
This takes the form of a 3D model containing ‘families’ that
represent physical items; from a window or door through to all
types of complex products. The project file acts as a shared
source of building information data, used from project initiation
all the way through to a facilities life-cycle management.
Prior to construction, architects, engineers and contractors can
use these 3D models to evaluate, schedule and quantify
entire projects.
As a result, they can identify and resolve problems early in the
design phase, when decisions can have the greatest impact on
cost, schedule, and sustainability.
What is BIM?

Realising the benefits BIM can offer to the construction
industry, the UK Government has made a clear statement that
all publicly procured projects over the value of £5M must bedelivered in Level 2 BIM by 2016.
With the current race to offer BIM compliance and as one of
the first manufacturers to embrace the new technology
architects & interior designers would be keen to download your
families for use within their projects.
Each family produced is an accurate 3D representation of your
product and can contain any number of embedded parameters
containing information such as the company name, product
range, material finishes, warranty, life cycle and crucially
contact details for supply and purchase.
All of this information would be available to all members of the
design team making your products the first ‘port of call’ when
purchase orders are being raised and subsequently for
replacement products.
