Openings Studio™ software keeps project information transparent and flowing
Key project challenges:
∙ Deliver complete specifications so everyone involved in project delivery could access a single, authoritative resource
∙ Work in an environment where delivery times are short and budget control must always be maintained
∙ Develop a BIM partnership to reflect ASSAR’s ethos, built around expertise, collaboration and teamwork
Solution:
Building information modelling (BIM) is a process which enables architects, building contractors, owners and consultants to work collaboratively. The BIM process creates an environment for better communication and transparency for the entire lifecycle of a building.
A BIM pioneer and member of the Belgian Building Research Institute’s Digital Construction Cluster, ASSAR has an established track record of successful BIM implementations. “The goal is to centralize information and allow projects to run smoothly,” explains Alexandra Dubuisson, ASSAR’s corporate BIM Manager. “It eliminates a whole series of construction error risks and facilitates dialogue between project teams. At ASSAR, BIM is applied to all projects, according to its unique needs,” she adds.
ASSA ABLOY participates in the BIM process by providing subject matter expertise, as well as software solutions to aid in the scheduling and coordination of openings information for a project. “Partnership with ASSA ABLOY’s BIM and specification team ensured accurate, detailed specifications for door and security hardware were always available,” explains Charlie Malou, Architect at the Mobius project.
