BIM Offerings for Lubrizol Plumbing Systems
Lubrizol now makes it easier than ever to increase productivity in building design and construction. Our complete plumbing industry solutions, including FlowGuard Gold® pipe and fittings and Corzan® pipe and fittings are now available in Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. BIM’s real-time, 3D modeling software allows plumbing engineers and architects to:
- Detect and prevent design conflicts
- Quickly create multiple designs to compare and identify the best value-engineered solution
- Create detailed outputs for accurate cost estimates
- Lower costs by reducing on-site errors and delays
- Communicate clearly with non-technical investors and design makers
Lubrizol’s new BIM objects can be downloaded into active design sessions using Autodesk® Revit® and AutoCAD® software:
- Autodesk® Seek, a web-based search engine for BIM objects and specifications for use in Revit, AutoCAD, Maya® and other CAD applications. Lubrizol’s BIM objects can be directly accessed from within the Autodesk® Revit® program. FlowGuard Gold and Corzan systems are the only non-metallic pipe and fitting options available in Autodesk Revit that meet the requirements for both hot and cold potable water established by national model codes.
- McGraw-Hill Sweets™, a web-based platform for construction products that lists products, product information and BIM objects, including those for FlowGuard Gold and Corzan systems.
