GROHE was the first European bathroom manufacturer to offer BIM data for architects, engineers and the construction industry.
Now, BIM data for 414 products is available to download from the brand’s website.
BIM offers new, faster and better options for software-based planning, execution and management of construction projects. Through the use of BIM’s 3D- data rich product models, GROHE helps architects and other design professionals identify and specify its innovative product lines. GROHE is delighted to now provide BIM data for more products than ever, with 414 products having available data to download- and more still to come.
A technological revolution Building Information Modelling (BIM) delivers a collaborative way of working, underpinned by the digital technologies which unlock more efficient methods of designing, creating and maintaining assets. BIM embeds key product and asset data into a 3 dimensional computer model that can be used for effective management of information throughout a project lifecycle.
The BIM process captures and combines all relevant building data in a digital representation which is visualised in the form of a building model. Any change to the model automatically triggers updates of all relevant lists and files, which all project contributors have access to. This ensures uninterrupted availability of the latest data, resulting in a clearly improved and faster exchange of information.
Apart from boosting productivity during the planning and construction stages, BIM can also simplify the management and maintenance of the completed building throughout its lifecycle, offering long-term benefits for owners and operators.
Architects, planners, engineers and contractors can make wide-ranging use of BIM data when it comes to specifying products. By entering a product’s BIM data in their project, they can immediately see its effects on available space, style and decor, technical requirements and costs.
GROHE and BIM Through BIM, GROHE has highlighted its strong partnership with the construction sector, by utilising a comprehensive, up-to-date tool for those in the industry. Being a leading manufacturer of sanitary fittings, GROHE is committed to being at the forefront of change in the construction sector. As part of this commitment, GROHE now provides a large selection of BIM data for high-quality sanitary products to support planners and architects through its website, and, for larger projects, there is the potential for clients to request additional models.
GROHE currently provides BIM data for 414 products, including some of its newest product offerings, such as the innovative push button SmartControl shower system, as well as its GROHE Blue and Minta Touch taps in the kitchen.
