ASSA ABLOY PROJECT SPECIFICATION GROUP’S BIM-ENABLED OPENINGS
STUDIO™ DRIVES EFFICIENCIES FOR ARCHITECTS AND SPECIFIERS
BIM is changing the building landscape, bringing with it
improvements in design, specification, delivery and asset
management. According to NBS’ National BIM Report 2019, BIM
adoption has grown from little more than 10% in 2011 to around
70% in 2019.
When it comes to doorsets and ironmongery in particular, using
tools such as Openings Studio™ from ASSA ABLOY Opening
Solutions UK & Ireland Project Specification Group, can truly unlock
the potential of BIM.
The software, suitable for all building projects and applications,
provides product information and performance data to comply with
budgets and ensure building regulations are adhered to, while 3D
views guarantee full design integration.
For architects and specifiers, Openings Studio can drive efficiencies
in creating door schedules by linking to fire certifications and energy
performance documents. Having one easily accessible source allows
users to update relevant information automatically without having
to manually input each specification, saving both time and money.
Eric Spooner, BIM Manager at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions UK
& Ireland, says: “With more than 8,000 architects already using
Openings Studio around the world, our BIM-enabled specification
software is already adding incredible value to our user’s projects.
Our tools give our partners more time to focus on what they do best,
creating high quality, sustainable buildings, more efficiently and cost
effectively.”
Those using Openings Studio can also create Virtual Design
Guides, which essentially serve as a library of typical openings,
that architects can then use when designing buildings. Data is
available in multiple formats to ensure easy collaboration with all
stakeholders, and Openings Studio supports popular BIM tools such
as Autodesk ® Revit.
Project Specification Group can support customers at every
stage, from design and specification, to installation and ongoing
maintenance. With such a wide range of capabilities, the Group’s
Project Design Consultants can source and supply all door and
ironmongery requirements, seeing a project through from start to
finish.
