What is BIM?
|
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a dramatic shift in the use of technology within the building industry. Through new BIM technologies, AEC professionals can now create digital models of buildings, then analyze their appearance, performance, constructability, and costs prior to actual construction. As the AEC professionals utilize true manufacturer content in their building model, precise information contained therein creates exact relevance in application. As a result, manufacturers offering quality BIM content can benefit from this exposure by securing more frequent and durable design specifications. |
What is the importance of manufacturer content?
|
AEC professionals have two options when designing on a BIM platform; the use of generic content elements or the use of more detailed manufacturer based content elements, if they exist. Designers and constructors greatly prefer manufacturer based content as it leads to the most accurate representation of their design. As BIM is a developing technology, however, there is a lack of available manufacturer based content across the industry. Designers are often required to specify, by default, those few manufacturers offering quality BIM content. In the new BIM world, manufacturers who provide the best BIM content will be the clear preferred choice. |

Investigation
|
BIMAdvent™ maintains strict development standards that will ensure a consistent and clean behavior for all our content. In establishing this, BIMAdvent™ is participating in efforts with the major standards organizations to develop parameter listings that can be used on products of the same function. By creating content that matches these standards, BIMAdvent™ is ensuring the consistent usability of all its content. |
|
Qualification
|
BIMAdvent™ has the ability to query each industry that is expected to utilize the content, including consulting professionals, designers, constructors, and facility managers. This query is vital, as manufacturer content is developed based on industry desires and needs and is built accordingly. Once completed, the content is both checked and validated for conformance and strict quality adherence. This ensures that the reputations of those utilizing the content are not compromised by content that is inferior, inaccurate, or cumbersome to use. Trust in the fact that before your BIM content goes live it has been thoroughly tested by industry professionals. |
|
Delivery System
|
BIMAdvent™ is unique in its commitment to manufacturers. Our primary goal is to help your company's products be specified on projects. Having superior BIM content, however, is only half the battle. Distributing the BIM models with the right partner can make a world of difference. That’s why we partner with Autodesk Seek, the number one online repository for manufacturer BIM content. Seek is embedded into multiple software including Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Design Review. Your products will be instantly searchable within these programs placing your products in front of millions of specifiers and designers! |

Content Development Services
|
Traditional design delivery relied on manufacturers providing valid catalog information and product data to assist the AEC professional in development of documents for construction. Manufacturers providing superior catalog data and representation were typically those specified. With the current BIM paradigm shift, manufacturers providing the best BIM content will be the preferred choice for engineers, designers, builders and operators. Manufacturers who have embraced the new technology and developed superior content are in the strongest strategic position for the imminent shift to BIM platforms. Let us show you how! |
