Pioneering Spanish architects thrive in BIM partnership

Key project challenges

∙ Save time in coordinating specification and parameters between building materials and the Revit^® design

∙ Ensure software packages work together to create a transparent “living model” with the right level of detail

∙ Create an up-to-date document resource with long-lasting value for building maintenance and security teams

∙ Introduce key stakeholders in real estate development to the merits of a strong BIM partnership

Solution

Fenwick Iribarren Architects have many years’ experience working with BIM and have benefited from its transparency on projects in Spain and abroad. It brings multiple collaboration advantages to complex workflows.

Partnering with an ASSA ABLOY specification and BIM specialist based in Spain helped coordinate the fast-changing information they require through design stage. They could quickly share alternative scenarios via the BIM model, for example.

Openings Studio^™ software streamlines information flow from ASSA ABLOY’s specification database directly to an in-progress Revit^® design.

All kinds of solutions — from door closers to mechanical cylinders— are available with a few clicks. This replaces the often time-consuming process of adding door parameters manually. “The software is very easy to learn,” explains Javier Iribarren. “It is especially useful to update changes since it detects updates in the model. A high level of programming is not required and you don’t need to use other packages like Excel to extract or import schedules.”
