ASSA ABLOY UK Specification Releases New White Paper On BIM

»»
ASSA ABLOY UK SPECIFICATION , A UK division of ASSA ABLOY , a global leader in door opening solutions , has released a new whitepaper discussing the future of Building Information Modelling ( BIM ) and how this is set to revolutionise construction projects .
Entitled ‘ BIM : The Future of Smart , Sustainable Buildings ,’ the guide is available for download from http :// marketing . assa-abloy . co . uk / BIM-White-Paper .
According to the most recent National BIM Report , 54 % of the UK construction industry has adopted BIM , a figure set to rise to 97 % within five years . Effective information sharing is one of the biggest challenges facing the global construction industry , and BIM is becoming an increasingly vital solution . An accurate and collaborative methodology , BIM uses digital tools to enable co-operation and information sharing across design , construction and facilities -management processes .
The whitepaper shows how a BIM-enabled approach helps facilitate sustainable design , reduce costs and boost productivity for all stakeholders . It also demonstrates how this approach helps organisations more effectively manage information throughout project lifecycles , helping to ensure optimised performance , comfort and reliability , and positively impact on building safe , secure and sustainable solutions .
To meet this demand , ASSA ABLOY has introduced ASSA ABLOY Openings StudioTM and BIM Door Solutions . These innovative , BIM-enabled product specification tools help users create tailored door opening solutions , offer a wide range of high-quality BIM-ready openings packages , and are supported throughout by ASSA ABLOY ’ s expertise .
Tim Checketts , Specification Director , says : “ There is rising demand for manufacturers to provide BIM objects , as this allows for a more collaborative approach to projects . This whitepaper considers why BIM is so much more than just advanced 3D modelling – it enriches data on every design element , leading to better-informed design decisions .
“ According to McKinsey research , 75 % of those who adopted BIM reported a positive return on investment , shorter project lifecycles and greater cost savings . However , to appreciate its full effects , it ’ s crucial for all stakeholders across the supply chain to be BIM-enabled . We hope this guide will help towards that goal , and help in the delivery of high-performing , secure and environmentallyfriendly buildings .”
