Utilising BIM to its fullest extent will always ensure that complications are discussed and cleared at very early stages , this again saves cost further down the supply chain . Utilising BIM reduces the quantity of detailed installation drawings that need to be completed which compliment the BIM model . Aluprof offer a wide range of BIM models which are constantly being revised to offer as much data as can be easily incorporated into a current BIM project .
With a large systems company such as Aluprof , working on the Value Management of a project at the very early stages , options such as choice of fabrication location can be explored to offer the best value and quality . An example of this could be complex details within a unitised project where a local fabricator could produce all the standard units and where complex , say curved units , are manufactured competitively elsewhere where specialist equipment is available .
The key to any programme would be to add value , not in cost terms , but in quality and time performance . As we are all too aware , time delays on site carry significant costs for both main contractor and consequently sub-contractor .
To ensure that any installation meets exacting site requirements , new profiles can form part of the Value Management process .
New profiles could offer not just a better detail , but new profiles can reduce costs and can reduce the time taken to install on site . At the extreme end of Value Management is the option of developing an entirely new system to meet a projects requirement . The experience within the technical team at Aluprof makes this option entirely possible , as it has been done before .
Installation ' Value Management ' could mean that on site teams are chosen with installers who are fully experienced in the exact systems being installed , possibly by making up new teams with highly experienced site agents who know the systems being used very well as they have worked on extensive installations using the same systems .
These are just a few of the considerations reviewed when Aluprof are specified in any facade or window project from the early design stages . The results speak for themselves , with Aluprof ’ s extensive growth in the UK working for some of the largest commercial contractors .
Since setting up the Aluprof Project Office at the Business Design Centre in London the systems company has rapidly grown their specification influence in the UK with their high performance architectural aluminium systems . With overseas growth across Europe spreading into the Middle East and firm roots already in the East of the USA , the company is becoming a global player in facade supply .
