New flooring systems on the BIMobject® Portal - by EGGER UK

Leading wood-based panel manufacturer EGGER UK has now launched its Advanced Structural Flooring System on the BIMobject Portal. EGGER UK specialises in the production of structural flooring boards for use in both residential and commercial build projects throughout the UK and Ireland.

The company decided to invest in BIM-technology to ensure the products within its Advanced Structural Flooring System can be specified at an early stage of any construction project. In order to achieve that, the flooring boards in the Advanced System have to be highly visible and easily accessible to architects and specifiers by featuring on prevalent user systems. EGGER chose to collaborate with BIMobject due to our strong reputation in this emerging sector.

“We are delighted to welcome EGGER UK to the BIMobject portal. The launch of their Advanced Structural Flooring boards as BIM objects offers building designers and specifiers the ability to download and specify trusted EGGER products into their design model, complete with the relevant product information.This is an invaluable resource that existing users and newcomers to the BIMobject portal can rely upon in order to meet their individual project needs,” said Tom Newman, Business Development Manager at BIMobject.

“BIM is revolutionising building design in the UK and BIM technology offers a more efficient and cost-effective approach. Our collaboration with BIM Object, with their emphasis on innovation, technology, excellent analytical tools and quality digital representations, will enable us to support our clients through highly intelligent planning models. By providing BIM objects on the BIMobject Portal, EGGER is offering specifiers and architects a new level of support in selecting the right boards for their requirements,” said Keith Brownsword, Product Technical Advisor at EGGER.
