A manufacturers perspective of BIM

This week at the Building Centre in London the event titled; ”Making BIM work for Construction Product Manufacturers” was jointly hosted by BRE and BuildingSMART. This conference was the coming together of some of the most prolific and knowledgable experts within the worldwide BIM field. The audience were a mix of UK based manufacturers, contractors and BIM consultants discussing and debating the subject.

The headlines at the event was the BIM adoption within the UK and how this would affect the construction product manufacturers, as they will need to make their products easily available to architects/designers and contractors via BIM libraries.

Chris Witte, Marketing Director (Northern Europe) of Knauf Insulation made a presentation based on the manufacturer´s side of BIM and how object creation is helping them achieve the current requirements of the construction industry.

During the presentation Chris presented key aspects of working with their BIM object partner BIMobject®. Chris presented the current objects which have been created by the BIMobject development team and a video on how they are incorporated into a BIM authoring tool. Chris continued to present on how BIMobject’s hosting portal and BIManalytics™ Pro will help Knauf’s marketing and sales department to penetrate specifiers/designers early in the design process which he firmly believes will not only increase sales but give his teams the ability to upsell the products which they make
