BIM Building Information Modelling

Our BIM process creates an intelligent 3D model of your internal fire doorset that automatically updates as you change the specifications of elements within it. The Revit 2019 software produces conceptual building designs and documentation in a common data environment. Building Information Modelling can support your decision-making throughout the preparation, design and implementation stages of your construction project. Our BIM service offers 22 configurable models of fully-certified pre-hung doorsets including ironmongery from our Education Range. This severe-duty fire door range has been specifically developed for use in schools, colleges and universities.
