with PROTAC

BIM (Building Information Modeling) has become the benchmark format for all stakeholders in the construction, building, and housing industries. PROTAC—the specialist in wood products for housing and exterior design—understands this well. Thanks to its teams' close relationships and ongoing contact with specifiers (architects and design offices), PROTAC provides around a hundred references in BIM format.

Evolving working methods

Aware of this development, PROTAC intends to be involved in the housing of tomorrow, while making the daily lives of architects and designers easier.

“Following discussions with professionals, the cladding profiles in the PROTAC range contain the attributes necessary for their work, such as: the technical specifications, the wood species, the treatment, the finish, the warranties… In addition to the essential technical information for project development, these cladding board drawings are directly usable and can be integrated into the 3D modeling of institutional buildings, multi-family dwellings, and single-family homes. This sharing of information ensures increased reliability throughout the project , ” explains Romain Claeys, PROTAC's industrial account manager.

The synergy of the PROTAC teams (marketing, sales and production) made it possible to create these digital technical tools in a practical, simple and efficient manner.

The new "Constructive Innovation 2017" catalogue highlights each product enhanced with a BIM file, thanks to the exclusively created "BIM Inside" logo.

Accessible and downloadable directly online, the qualified BIM file* exists in three extensions (dwg, dxf and skp) , which makes it directly usable in the most widespread architectural software on the market.
