In commercial and domestic developments, it’s vital to aid
costing and time management and provide assurance at
the decision-making stage to help inform specification.
Profile 22 has invested in different tools to make
specification as streamlined as possible.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is at the
forefront of building and design. As an invaluable
element of the planning process, BIM is fast
becoming one of the most important tools in
construction.
With BIM it’s possible to ensure a window or door
complies with building regulations or fits with
the aesthetics of a scheme before commitments
are made – considerations that are especially
pertinent for the heritage and redevelopment
markets.
The Profile 22 BIM library provides 2D and 3D
product representations of several window
systems, including Flush Tilt-Turn and Vertical
Sliding windows and fully reversible window
systems.
Using BIM objects can provide a level of insight
previously unavailable at the pre-construction
stage. Being able to visualise a window or
door in place can provide multi-dimensional
data. For example, it is possible to see the
spatial relationships between a window and
the building, and even access manufacturer’s
information.
