Improving sustainability performance is becoming a higher priority for building developers, owners and users. One consequence is fast-growing demand for green building certifications — and therefore specification. Specialist input can make the difference between hitting and missing a project target.
Østre Landsret, the High Court for Denmark’s Eastern region, handles both civil and criminal cases. At large new premises, specifiers equipped more than 650 doors and coordinated multiple project stakeholders, including Swedoor, a major Swedish supplier of doors and related technologies.
Interest in greener buildings is rising fast. To drive and meet demand, Polish developer Torus aim for the highest level of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification for all their properties in the Gdansk area. To achieve this for two new office developments, they sought a partner for security solutions with extensive experience supporting green building certification and specifications. They partnered with Assa Abloy Opening Solutions.
The digitalization of building design and construction presents challenges and major opportunities. The need to manage and marshal project information is much greater than in the “analogue” world. Yet if done right, a shift to digital processes can save money and time, and end with a greener, more usable building. However, to fully realize these benefits, many projects are missing a key ingredient: expertise.
Project management for large building designs benefits from both collaboration and effective digitalization. On a landmark new office development in central Brussels, Assa Abloy’s Openings Studio software helped achieve the ultimate goal: excellence in design, balancing cost, delivery time and sustainability concerns.
Facilities and security managers, architects, building managers and many others can benefit from the time-saving support provided by a BIM and specification partnership. An Assa Abloy webcast on December 8th introduces the process for a non-specialist audience — and explains how partnership frees up time and reduces project costs.

Fenwick Iribarren Architects have many years’ experience working with BIM. They have benefited from its transparency on projects in Spain and abroad. For Campus Acciona, a landmark new business and office development in the Hortaleza neighbourhood of Madrid, they sought a trusted BIM partner to streamline the specification process.
As a property investor, Structure Capital aims to create buildings which combine form and function with a return on investment. In the hotel and hospitality sector, this vision centres on harnessing modern technology to improve the design, functionality and construction efficiency of the build.
As the construction industry becomes ever more digitized, it is important that project information is shared not only quickly, but also accurately. Building Information Modelling, or BIM, is fast becoming the solution to deliver this, led by BIM innovators like Assar Architects.
In the last few years, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has grown from relative infancy to a critical element in many construction projects. GIT SECURITY put five questions to Marc Ameryckx, BIM manager at Assa Abloy Opening Solutions EMEIA, about the benefits of a process which is apparently much easier than many imagine.
Working with Assa Abloy building information modelling consultants helped Zarhy Architects and Studio Pez maintain the flow of up-to-date information for a complex, constantly evolving project - and left them free to focus on creativity and delivery. Collaboration was key to successful design and building specification for the Broadcom R&D Center at Tel Aviv University.

When Brunelleschi built his famous dome on Florence cathedral, he had to design his own scaffolding. He built lifts for moving materials above ground level. He created airborne kitchens, so workers needn’t descend all the way just to eat lunch. Plug-and-play building technologies have improved since the 1400s. Yet a surprising amount of any project is still administered manually, in a way Brunelleschi might have recognized. A disruptive, digital revolution is imminent. Every building project demands coordination of vast amounts of information. Realizing a vision from brain to bricks and mortar depends on marshalling it successfully. For architects and engineers, building owners and contractors, digitization is here to help — and to stay. Building Information Modeling, or BIM, sits at the heart of a project.
