Reed Construction Data and InterSpec help enhance BIM user experience
Reed Construction Data (www.reedconstructiondata.com/), a leading provider of BIM solutions, today announced its library of over 21,000 high-quality, parametric BIM objects is now an e-SPECS Compliant BIM Library. e-SPECS is an innovative product selection and specification software application from Interspec (www.e-SPECS.com/) allowing users to automate the process and preparation of coordinated construction documents.
Reed’s object library includes a wide range of both generic and manufacturer-specific objects, embedded with crucial data to assist architects and designers in developing BIM models.
Making these SmartBIM objects e-SPECS Compliant allows the e-SPECS applications to utilize the information within the BIM models in order to automate the specification process. As objects in a model are changed, removed or replaced, the specifications are automatically updated to stay in sync.
“As a leader in BIM Solutions, it is imperative that we integrate tools as much as possible to make the adoption of BIM easier for the end users,” said Candice Dobra, Director of BIM Solutions, Reed Construction Data.
Reed’s SmartBIM Objects are available through SmartBIM Library 3.2, SmartBuilding Index and Autodesk Seek and offer content from a growing list of manufacturers including: Kolbe, Karona Inc., Hager Companies, LinEL Signature Skylights, Oldcastle Glass, Armstrong, Da-Lite Screen Company, Draper Inc., NanaWall Systems, ZeroFlush, Figueras International Seating, Next Door Company, Laticrete International, Skyco Shading Systems, Beta-Calco, Cornell Iron Works, Sun-Dome, GAF Materials Corp., PPG Industries, Coronet Lighting and more.
“The e-SPECS solutions combined with Reed Construction Data’s high-quality BIM objects and SmartBIM Library 3.2 offer significant time savings and higher level document coordination for BIM users,” said Seamus McGrady, InterSpecs Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
