🤔 Why is publishing the BIMcontent.com #Revit Content Standard a big deal? More ⬇️ 1️⃣ 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 BIMcontent.com's core value is high-quality, project-ready content. This standard establishes a framework for the content on the platform being predictable, reliable, and for BIMcontent.com being the go-to resource for #manufacturer-based #BIMobjects that can be trusted to work as expected in a project model. 2️⃣ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 By publishing our standard, BIM managers and designers can assess what modifications may be required to align with their specific company standards, and that all content would require these same adjustments (only), rather than needing to assess every single object one-by-one. Additionally, firms can adapt their internal standards to BIMcontent.com's to streamline access to the platform's ever-growing library of free content. 3️⃣ 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿𝘀 With publicly available standards, manufacturers have a clear understanding of a baseline and the minimum requirements for their content to be considered suitable for hosting on the platform. 4️⃣ 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 This first draft standard seeks industry feedback for potential updates and further alignment with evolving needs.

#Didyouknow according to the 2023 'What Specifiers Want Report', 69% of specifiers stated they need manufacturers to provide digital (BIM) objects... but are there caveats? Is there more to the story? More ⬇️ 🖥️ In the report commissioned by the NBS UK, specifiers want digital (BIM) objects of 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 – incorporating data BUT not overburdened with unnecessary, complex geometric details that creates unnecessarily burden on project models. Some quotes from the report reveal... "If I can find a product that has a CAD or Revit model, it is more likely that I would specify it..." "Provide more BIM objects to be used in a Revit model. I am more likely to specify a product if there's 3D information available, as it saves me time when modelling..." 🌐 This requirement for quality objects, or lack thereof, is why IGS Group (IGS BIM Solutions) created BIMcontent.com, a rapidly growing, free-to-use platform specifically designed to bridge the gap between designers and building product manufacturers. BIMcontent.com offers a central hub for manufacturer-based BIM content, with a focus on quality and consistency. Is your company BIM-ready? Don't get left behind!

#FAQ - If manufacturers invest in having #Revit content created, will their products get specified more? Swipe 👉 to find out more. The more readily available and format compatible your product data is, the easier it is for designers to incorporate your products into the project design model, especially at earlier, conceptual phases of the project where designers don't want to spend too much time on modelling specific elements. In times gone by, manufacturers often provided basic 2D CAD drawings, images, swatches and specification sheets, and designers needed to translate that into assets that could be used in project drawings. Recent progression in technology has seen manufacturers providing data-rich assets (BIM Content / Objects) that can be incorporated straight into project models to produce accurate drawings, renders, schedules and other project delivery outputs. The most commonly utilised BIM project design / authoring software among Architects is Revit. 🖥️ Architects → Easily find and integrate manufacturer-based BIM (Revit) content into designs, saving valuable time and assuring design accuracy. 🏗️ Manufacturers → Reduce reliance on manual outreach and ensure you provide the tools architects need to specify your products. Easy access to the data for designers is also important to maximise benefit for manufacturers. By making your Revit models readily available on a trusted platform like BIMcontent.com, you'll increase your product visibility and empower designers to seamlessly integrate them into their projects. ➡️ If you're a manufacturer exploring the process and viability of a BIM strategy, contact us at IGS Group (IGS BIM Solutions) today. ➡️ If you are a designer searching for Revit (BIM) content created to a consistent, high-quality standard to use in your project, explore our extensive FREE collection at BIMcontent.com 😉
