SmartBIM • SmartBuilding • SmartWorld

Reed Construction Data has become the leader in the area of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with products and services that are helping to progress the adoption of BIM.

Through an in-depth SmartBIM Object Creation Services, BPMs can rely on Reed to create high-quality, real world objects with embedded data to enable product selection and specification. In addition, we've made it easy for architects to manage their BIM objects through SmartBIM Library.

BIM is becoming the foundation of building design, visualization studies, contract documents, analysis, simulation and facilities management. Autodesk® Revit® is the dominant BIM authoring application and Revit's market penetration into architectural firms is occurring three times faster than the market penetration of 2D CAD in the 1980s. In the next few years, the majority of all projects will be modeled in Revit.

High-quality, need-specific, and re-usable BIM content will be an enabling factor for successful BIM-based projects and the use of BIM downstream of design. However, developing and managing objects introduces new challenges for design firms because of the need to represent 3D geometry and encode other kinds of information. The cost and resources needed to develop objects can detract from designing and delivering buildings, which is the core focus of an architectural firm.

If your business is to succeed in the coming years, you need to embrace BIM and begin incorporating it into your business processes. Reed Construction Data can help fuel your efforts and is working as a trusted partner to help architects, contractors and building product manufacturers manage this transition and maximize its potential through the SmartBIM products below:

SmartBIM QTO from Reed Construction Data is a cost-effective solution for Autodesk® Revit® users that provides early cost estimation for Revit projects, powered by RSMeans.

Our SmartBIM Library extends the capabilities of Autodesk Revit™ providing management of both generic and manufacturer specific objects. The SmartBIM Library allows you to orgaznize your BIM objects and simply drag-and-drop them into Revit.

But in addition to managing your SmartBIM Objects, our exclusive mapping technology allows models to link to external data sources (such as RSMeans) - allowing you to instantly compile quanitity takeoffs and create detailed cost estimates.

The process of BIM is relatively new for most manufacturers. But Reed Construction Data is here to help.

The SmartBIM object-creation program provides BPMs with highly parametric BIM objects that accurately represent the real world characteristics and specifications of their product lines. Allow Reed to create your real world objects and have the opportunity to showcase your products within a building during the design phase.
