This is the fastest-growing building information modelling (BIM) library in the UK, containing an extensive collection of both generic and manufacturer BIM objects ranging from building fabric systems to mechanical and electrical objects. All of the objects meet the requirements of the internationally-recognised NBS BIM Object Standard. Find us at source.thenbs.com and enter “Powdertech” in the search box.

“We consider the NBS BIM library to be of huge benefit to architects, designer and building developers”, said Richard Besant, Director, Powdertech, “And we wanted to be part of it. As users will know, the BIM library contains thousands of BIM objects which have been authored and certified by NBS experts to the NBS BIM object standard and this ensures the consistency and currency of all objects in the library.”

Users can access all of the coatings within the Powdertech Anomatch, Evolution, Landscape and PWF Collections. The benefits of each Collection are listed and associated technical data is provided. If users set up ‘My Library’ they can sort and filter favourite BIM objects. “Those involved in specifying products and services within the building industry must find this such a useful tool and we consider it very worthwhile to have our Collections on board,“ said Richard Besant.
