» ASSA ABLOY OPENING Solutions has launched a video showcasing the possibilities BIM software offers in creating and visualising openings for complete door , frame and hardware schedules and specifications , enabling the golden thread of information .

Openings Studio™ integrates with design software , meaning door assets can be designed , priced , manufactured , installed , inspected , and maintained from the same data , ensuring a seamless and transparent connection from design intent through to product in service .

This unique time and cost saving application ensures compliance , giving peace of

mind . There ’ s the option to create door solutions from scratch , or select from a customised library , making it simple to create modifications to meet project specific standards .

Door solutions can be exported with ease through various types of reports in PDF , Microsoft Excel and Word formats . During construction , submittals can be reviewed , and materials can be tracked for ordering and delivery .

What ’ s more , Requests for Information ( RFIs ) can be officially logged and managed , and directives can be changed . Cut sheets and installation guides are also housed within the programme .

Ideal for both new construction and existing openings , Openings Studio™ also allows facilities managers to have a single point of reference to inspect , record , maintain , and service doors , hardware , and access control systems .

Brian Sofley , Managing Director at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions UK & Ireland , explains : “ Managing door projects in traditional spreadsheet programmes can be extremely inefficient and ineffective , with limited ability to share that information easily .

“ Openings Studio™ streamlines communication in the estimation , specification , ordering and delivering

process , making sharing information effortless . Workflow and door projects are digitalised and all the door information is stored in the cloud , allowing it to be securely accessed from anywhere in the world via a desktop computer smartphone or tablet .

“ This is a gamechanger for building owners , facilities managers , contractors , locksmiths , distributors , consultants and more .”
