Attention All Building Product Manufacturers!
It’s time to be upfront about your products
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is quickly becoming a part of all building design, visualization studies, contract documents, analysis, simulation and commercial facilities management. BIM software market penetration into architectural firms is occurring three times faster, than the market penetration of 2D CAD in the 1980s. A huge number of projects are now modeled in BIM software and the number is growing.
Hi – my name is Scott Barrington and I lead the team here at Barrington Architecture & Design.
Architects & Technicians Need Your BIM Content!
High quality, need-specific, and re-usable BIM Objects will be an enabling factor for successful BIM based projects and use of BIM downstream of design. But developing and managing objects introduces new challenges for design firms because of the need to represent 3D geometry and encode other kinds of information. The cost and resources needed to develop objects can detract from the core focus of the architectural firm, designing and delivering buildings.
Your Obligation
As a building product manufacturer, making it easier for Architectural firms to integrate your objects into their project(s) translates to more usage of your product and an increase to your bottom line. As well as create a huge brand preference.
That means creating high quality BIM content and getting it distributed to the design community increases your chances to be specified and used.
The Keys To Success With BIM Content
There are many key factors that will add to the success of your BIM content (whether it be for ArchiCAD, Revit, Bentley BIM or Sketchup). These are:
- Quiality built content
- Good distribution
- Backup user support
- Updating (What happens when next year’s version of Revit or ArchiCAD is released?)
- Stats collection & ROI measurement. (Remember if you can’t measure it, it’s not worth doing!)
