Partnership with Kay Elliott Architects for the Park and Lighthouse hotels project

ASSA ABLOY Project Specification Group uses BIM software to specify doors for two multi-million-pound hotels.

Challenge

Specifying over 1,000 doorsets can be an extremely time-intensive task. Using traditional methods, information would be provided in countless separate schedules and documents, which would require a Revit operator to manually create and update, with someone else to then check for errors.  As the project develops, information may become out of date and therefore require individual doors to be flagged up and re-sent for advice. The time and manpower that goes into this process is not only inefficient but also ineffective, with the prospect of human error still a prominent possibility.

Solution

For these reasons, Kay Elliott Architects began to work closely with ASSA ABLOY Project Specification Group to integrate Openings Studio with their own Revit model, allowing them to find all the relevant information and ironmongery schedules in a single place, delivered in one document. Openings Studio^™ BIM software was used to make significant time and cost savings during the design process, with products specified for over 1,000 doors, including DC300G-HF, DC500 and DC135 Door Closers, J1000 Door Furniture, and a Key Prime Master Key System, with a total contract value of over £60,000.
