SFS is fully behind the ethos of BIM but as a manufacturer we’ve had to carefully consider the value and benefits of creating BIM objects for all of our product ranges. We want to fully support our customers and specifiers throughout the entire specification, selection and replacement process but we believe structured product data is the answer for some of our products and this data will still enable clients to compare and select products based on value and lifecycle costing, rather than just price. This should allow for better quality products to be selected so that lifecycle costs reduce. This is obviously a far more sustainable approach to construction and something that fully matches our values at SFS.(…)
