Building Information Modelling (BIM) consultants can help you with all the information needed to plan, design, construct and maintain a building. Our BIM consultants specialise in door opening requirements and can help you whether you are at the beginning or end of a project. In this article, we’ll explain the benefits of BIM consulting services.
Why BIM?
BIM consultants bring many benefits to a building project. By using one coherent system of computer models, BIM enables a collaborative approach to design. This modernises and improves workflows, embracing technologies that bring considerable cost savings and design improvements to projects. When effectively managed and implemented, BIM can increase accuracy in estimation and reduce errors and alterations.
As we mentioned, our specification teams help our clients develop door hardware schedules, prepare specification briefs, and design complete door-opening solutions for all applications and security requirements.
BIM consulting services
We support architectural clients at every stage of a project, from design and specification to installation and ongoing maintenance. Our specification teams can help you create objective and accurate door hardware schedules, prepare specification briefs, design complete door-opening solutions, and more.
To help you easily manage openings, we've provided our industry-leading specification software tool and BIM plugin – Openings Studio. With Openings Studio, you'll be able to focus on the design, installation and management of openings.
Who we can help:
- Builders and contractors
- Owners and facility managers
- Distributors
- Security consultants
Openings Studio
Our industry-leading software tool, Openings Studio, significantly improves the visualisation of your opening processes. With this tool, you can easily create, view and present door-opening models to stakeholders and building professionals. This software is available to download or you can talk with one of our BIM consultants to help you visualise your next project.
BIM security
BIM security plays a huge part in door scheduling and opening visualisation. With our software tools, you can quickly determine which electrical and security components are needed for specific openings.
Owners will be able to visualise the building’s design and structure, while contractors and security consultants can receive the necessary information to create fully wired and tagged electrical elevations.
Use the software to create complete models or openings in your building with specific dimensions including doors and frames. This makes construction and installation much easier.
