Menomonee Falls, WI -- As Building Information Modeling (BIM) transforms the building and plumbing industries, Bradley Corp., announces the launch of comprehensive BIM files supporting its commercial handwashing fixtures, washroom accessories, valves, showers and lockers. An early adopter of this revolutionary building technology, Bradley is among only 10% of building product manufacturers that are actively building BIM models.
With the powerful ability to design entire buildings and every element in them in a precise and virtual 3D environment, the BIM process represents the new standard that is changing commercial construction. BIM allows users to design and document in meticulous detail and accuracy, significantly cutting building and construction costs up to 20%, according to industry experts. Architects and builders using BIM can test and simulate plans without having to build the models themselves, which incurs extra time and materials expenses.
Bradley’s growing portfolio of BIM product line families take full advantage of the power of the BIM process, greatly simplifying the planning and ordering process for architects, engineers and contractors as they develop their building projects. Built with powerful Revit software, Bradley’s BIM files contain rich pools of data to assist and enhance the process of planning and specifying projects. Many Revit family components contain sophisticated features and options not usually found in other manufacturers' files.
As Bradley’s BIM product line families are continually updated and enhanced, BIM files for many of Bradley’s commercial washroom products are already up and running, and include its thermostatic mixing valves, several group lavatory systems, restroom partitions, a variety of washroom accessories and solid plastic lockers.
A complete and current list of Bradley’s BIM file families is available at www.bradleycorp.com/bim/products/bim/. The easy-to-navigate web site allows users to easily download products individually or in groups. In addition, users can sign up to follow Bradley’s latest BIM updates on Twitter, which issues 'tweets' when new models are added to Bradley’s website.
