Why BIM content matters for building product manufacturers
Architects, engineers, designers, and contractors use BIM to make decisions throughout the building process. Manufacturer-specific BIM objects give them access to real product geometry, technical data, materials, performance information, and documentation directly within their digital workflows.
For building product manufacturers, this creates an opportunity to make products easier to discover, evaluate, specify, and use in real projects.
But simply creating a BIM file is not enough. BIM content needs to contain accurate product data, work reliably in the software your customers use, and remain up to date as products and digital requirements change.
The critical aspect of a BIM object is that it includes the product’s information, materials, and textures. Designing every last bolt or including all product features will create a file that’s too large or contains information the designers don’t need. We have to think about what is most useful for the user.”
