There has been much talk recently about BIM Level 2 and Common Data Environments (CDE) such as Satellite CDE’s, Constellation CDE’s and other variations of CDE.  At Asite we believe in and enable one CDE, with all the functionality that users are attempting to create using these variations. Earthborn paint confirmed as Ska compliant Earthborn has achieved its first Ska Rating Product Compliance label with its Ecopro Matt Emulsion. The RICS Ska Rating system enables specifiers to certify an office or retail fit-out for sustainability best practice. Ecopro Matt is a high performance, environmentally sound alternative to conventional emulsions. Totally oil, acrylic and VOC free, it is highly breathable and odour free. It gives excellent covering power and a durable finish. Ecopro Midsheen Emulsion, which offers greater resistance to marking, has been awarded the ultimate eco credential - the European Ecolabel Many Earthborn paints hold the stringent EU Ecolabel so Ecopro Matt Emulsion passed the Ska compliance test with flying colours. www.earthbornpaints.co.uk The Adoddle CDE leverages the Adoddle Model Server (cBIM) and the Appbuilder engine to deliver powerful functionality for the entire project team down to each and every individual user. All of your models are federated, instead of existing as files in different folders and projects. Even though ownership of component models remain with the originators, everyone has a clear view of the merged model within cBIM. The Adoddle Platform also: • Supports ACL so that the owners can update their own models and data is made available to other collaborators at the right time. • Supports cross model querying so everyone can see where objects are being used and where they could be used more effectively • Supports versioning so that everyone is working off the latest version • Supports accurate audit trails so that every user inter-action is tracked & reported on • Is flexible enough to allow people to work the way they want, whilst supporting rules that can also ensure all parties will follow agreed naming conventions “Whether you are approaching level 2 or are preparing for level 3, 4 and 5 - Adoddle is ready for Business - Get to IT" said Tony Ryan Asite CEO T: +44 20 7749 7887  E: [email protected]   W: www.asite.com Infinity Paint Company launches ‘on demand’ paint range We are pleased to announce the launch of Infinity Paint Company, the only online paint company that allows you to order exactly the colour, finish and quantity of paint you require from the comfort of your home.

You can select precisely the colour and finish required without the compromise you may have encountered in the past with conventional paint suppliers. It also means you can order just the quantity of paint required, reducing unnecessary waste.” Colour selection is made via the website where customers have the option to select from screen or order free colour palette swatches of pure paint. It’s also possible to order tester pots in any colour and any finish; a service only Infinity Paint Company can offer. It's easy to find the colour you're looking for by simply scrolling through the colour palettes, grouped in families; creams & whites, pinks & reds etc. You can make selections from the designer collection, which includes 240 specially selected shades, or the master collection, which holds an archive of thousands of colours. Choosing the right paint finish is also much easier. By selecting the spaces you want to paint; living room, bedroom, exterior etc. you are presented with a selection of appropriate paint finishes.
