    Greetings SmarBIM Partner,

    We are delighted to welcome you as a SmartBIM partner with Reed Construction Data. BIM will create enormous positive changes in the AEC industry.

    As a leader in the industry, Reed is well-positioned to harness complex technology to realize the potential of BIM and deliver high-quality solutions to architects, owners, contractors, and building product manufacturers. The Reed team consists of several industry thought-leaders who are truly passionate about BIM. We value your partnership and your input as BIM technologies begin to change workflow, processes, and culture.

    Our current products SmartBIM Library and SmartBIM QTO, increase your customer’s efficiency and enhance the BIM workflow. The ROI on these tools is nearly immediate and empower users to make better and smarter decisions when using Revit.

    SmartBIM Library offers architects a unique, easy-to-use content manager for Revit objects with features such as:

    • Content Updater: Automatic notification of new objects that may be added to the SmartBIM Library. This feature will continue to enhance the value of the architect's purchase by increasing their library of high-quality content, including manufacturer's specific content
    • Family Content Publisher: Allows creation of SmartBIM catalogs from existing Revit project files as well as integration of existing RFAs into well-organized, visual catalogs
    • Drag-n-Drop Productivity: Users can select and integrate BIM objects by simply dragging objects from SmartBIM Library directly into Revit
    • Powerful search tools allow users to easily find content by family, type, properties, or object tag

    SmartBIM QTO empowers architects with early cost estimation. With SmartBIM QTO users can:

    • Instantly create a Takeoff from a Revit project and retrieve counts, measures and cost estimation with the press of a button
    • Run multiple estimates for design options and alternatives as the design changes to facilitate “what-if” scenarios
    • Manually edit cost and add lines to cost estimation to increase accuracy
    • Export data to Excel and PDF by full building, or specific Revit categories

    I look forward to our teams working together. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding our SmartBIM products, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.

    Best Regards,

    Candice Dobra
    Director, BIM Solutions
    Reed Construction Data

    P.S. Be on the lookout for our SmartBIM emails with information, tips and industry trends to support your selling efforts.
