Quicker door package decisions made with Openings Studio

TM Konsult adds value to their client relationships with our BIM software solutions

Key project challenges: 

∙ Supporting clients of varying sizes with earlier, clearer information to speed up the specification process for door environments

∙ Adopting project tools to facilitate coordination and communication with the client, including by importing all changes quickly to the model

∙ Making specialist door knowledge available to both designer and client, including at dedicated door specification meetings for each project

Solution:

The BIM process is an ongoing dialogue. It enables efficient importing and exporting of critical project changes, so TM Konsult can remedy any errors fast — which keeps the project on track and the client happy.

Specifiers from ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions contributed directly throughout the BIM process. Their specialized knowledge — and presence at relevant planning meetings — has enabled TM Konsult to deliver complete proposals for compliant door environments at an early stage. With door experts on board, decisions can be made quickly and discussions are faster to conclude.

To supplement specification input from ASSA ABLOY, TM Konsult uses Openings Studio. The software exports updated door specification information seamlessly into the project’s Autodesk® Revit® model. When decisions about a door package are made, Openings Studio automatically updates with the parameters the architect or designer has chosen.

Different clients prefer to receive information in different ways: Openings Studio has the flexibility for TM Konsult to present it in a way that suits each. “It has worked really well,” concludes Jonatan Jacobsson.
