Brett Paving
Innovative Brett Landscaping
Leads Industry With Bim Registered
Products
“Building Information
Modelling is definitely
the long-term future of
construction, being the default
design environment for many
new architectural university
graduates, and as such it is
imperative the industry is
prepared,” explains Andrew
Gill, marketing manager at
Brett Landscaping.
“It is already mandatory
that all products sourced for
Government projects should
be to BIM Level 2 and we
are now starting to see BIM
filter down to private sector
projects.
B
rett Landscaping, the
specialist commercial
and domestic
paving supplier,
has announced its
range of high quality
commercial hard landscaping
products has now been listed
on the National BIM Library,
making the company one
of the industry’s earliest
adopters of BIM (Building
Information Modelling)
technology.
These BIM objects can be
sourced for free through the
National BIM Library, an online
resource of thousands of
building products that have
been BIM registered – and this
library now includes many
of Brett Landscaping’s most
popular commercial products.
The information held within
the National BIM Library
is invaluable to everyone
involved in a building project,
especially to the architect
when it comes to choosing the
most appropriate products.
BIM is helping to create more
definitive specifications. It
enables an architect to make
a more informed decision, as
manufacturer data is included
with each BIM object allowing
for a side-by-side performance
comparison before specifying,
which also ensures
compliance with standards.

BIM allows an architect to
“walk through” a project,
providing them with a better
idea of what the final design
will look like and how it
should perform. This in turn
will help to prevent future
problems and reduce potential
conflict in the construction
process.
BIM also works in line
with RIBA’s Plan of Works.
Relating to the RIBA Plan
of Works ensures that all
parties involved in a project
are working to the same
process, which once again
helps to mitigate any future
conflict and offers a better
understanding of what is
required from the whole team.
“Brett is renowned for
innovation and remaining
at the forefront of industry
developments – being part of
the BIM revolution is another
example of this.
By having our products
included in the National BIM
Library we are providing
our customers – whether
that is an architect sourcing
the products, a contractor
using them, a merchant
selling them, or the facilities
management team managing
the infrastructure – with the
products they need to succeed
within this highly competitive
market,” adds Andrew.
