Solution

Jaspers-Eyers Architects has been organizing their projects around BIM principles for more than 15 years. For Quatuor, working with ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions streamlined their collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including the developer client; contractors and subcontractors; and the building’s final end-user tenants. Specification for door and security solutions can be time-consuming. At Quatuor, ASSA ABLOY’s experience and expertise simplified and accelerated the process. The local team of ASSA ABLOY BIM & Specification experts handled specification details and kept the central resource up-to-date and transparent, so architects’ valuable time was freed up. One key tool for successful collaboration was ASSA ABLOY Openings Studio^™. This software connected Jasper-Eyers’ Revit^® designs directly with databases holding specification data. It enabled rapid, accurate updating of in-process designs with object data and parameterizations. “The evolution of projects… makes this integration of configuration for objects — particularly hardware — essential,” explains Gilles Bollens. “Use of the software is very intuitive. It is the only tool that enables the management of doors as a whole, in such a fluid and complete way.”
