Lapitec has entered the world of BIM.

From 1 October, Lapitec slabs, supplied in the UK by the Marble & Granite Centre in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, have been made available for BIM software.

Increasingly adopted by architects and building professionals, BIM (Building Information Modelling) is a collaborative design method allowing the integration of all the useful information of each design phase, from architectural to managerial, on a single model.

BIMObject is the platform chosen by Lapitec, using five files corresponding to the various applications of the sintered stone:

• LAPITEC INTERIOR CLADDING
• LAPITEC FLOORING
• LAPITEC EXTERIOR CLADDING
• ADAPTIVE PANELS FOR LAPITEC CLADDING (indicated for applications on façades, this model contains elements of different sizes from the Lapitec full plate, allowing the user to include non-standard pieces in the design).
• LAPITEC ADAPTIVE PANELS (indicated for cladding and flooring, this model contains elements of different sizes from the Lapitec full plate).

All Lapitec BIM files are also available on the main architecture and design portals of ARCHDAILY and ARCHIPRODUCTS.
