In line with the now mandatory use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) Level 2 for all centrally procured projects, key products in Conex Bänninger’s pipe fittings portfolio are now available to download as BIM models from bimstore.co.uk.
Specification is a key growth market for Conex Bänninger, so it was important to ensure BIM models were available to download. The full >B< Press portfolio is now available from bimstore with new lines being added throughout the year.
BIM is a collaborative way of working, underpinned by the digital technologies that help to bring about more efficient methods of designing, creating and maintaining buildings.
According to the government’s construction strategy, the purpose of BIM is to embed key product and asset data into a three-dimensional computer model that can be used for effective management of information throughout a project lifecycle – from concept through to operation.
This means that the demand for BIM data – for products like >B< Press will only grow, as construction teams look to accurately map the lifetime and life costs of a building.
Dan Wild, UK & Ireland Business Unit Director for Conex Bänninger commented: “BIM has been a key business priority of ours for a number of years and we were keen to ensure that we were compliant with regards to designing BIM models for core product lines, like >B< Press, and guaranteeing they were available for use in the industry.
“The demand for BIM models is on the rise for all products in the build process, big or small. It’s an important step forward for us and more product lines will be ready for download in the coming months.”
