Brett Landscaping, the specialist commercial and domestic paving supplier, has announced that 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 BIM is invaluable to everyone involved in a building project, especially to the contractor when it comes to ensuring the efficient management of the construction phase and BIM level 2 compliance.
BIM provides contractors with a better understanding of an architects’ vision, enabling them to contribute to a build which helps to create a truly collaborative environment, from the architect right through to the contractor.
A significant benefit to BIM is the ability to reduce the construction phase and a contractor’s time on site by improving site scheduling, which results in less downtime waiting for products to arrive. Site safety is also improved as any potential risks are identified, and resolved, during the design phase. BIM also helps to reduce snagging time and any time spent on site resolving conflicts, as any issues will have been found during the design of the building.
“Building Information Modelling is definitely the long-term future of construction, 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.
“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.
