MagiCAD has 35 years of experience and has more than 1 million 3D product models available in MagiCAD Cloud and is Europe's largest online BIM object library for construction.

It is common knowledge that BIM – or Building Information Modeling – is a rapidly growing method of transforming traditional design planning in the construction industry from 2D to 3D environments. But BIM is so much more than that. BIM is a process of creating and managing all information related to a project and ultimately creating an environment that contains digital descriptions for all aspects of the physical project. Thus, BIM supports every phase of the project life cycle, even after the construction has been completed. And because projects are practically constructed before they are physically built, many inconveniences and problems in the construction process are removed in advance – whether they are design or construction changes. Having a larger and more detailed overview from the start minimizes costly and time-consuming changes at a later stage in the process.

Minimize labor costs, documentation work, and the risk of miscommunication
"BIM creates an overview of building costs as prices for each element are updated as the details of the structure are clarified. At the same time, it becomes possible to analyze each step of the construction process and assess whether there is money to be gained by working with prefabricated solutions rather than loose components on site. BIM data can also be used to generate production drawings or databases for manufacturing purposes", explains Kim Hansen, Product Manager from Roth Denmark.

"In recent years, Roth has expanded the ability to manufacture prefabricated devices with the goal of helping our customers minimize labor costs, documentation work, as well as the risk of miscommunication. At the same time, the cost of disposing of unused materials and packaging is greatly reduced, because this can be optimized", he continues.
BIM ensures better collaboration and communication, as digital BIM models allow for project model sharing and planning coordination, so that all project stakeholders have insight and access to up-to-date project information - not only in the office, but also in the field where cloud-based solutions and apps ensure real-time access on mobile devices.
Plans can be both planned and communicated more accurately, and the preparatory coordination helps projects to be completed on time. Roth's new extensive library of BIM models enables the responsible consultant, architect, etc. to create custom drawings with high accuracy and system intelligence for use throughout the building's life cycle. 

The Roth catalogue will contain more than 150 BIM product models in the categories of pipes, fittings and accessories and waterproof cabinets for underfloor heating and domestic water, as well as shunts, ShuntUnits and control units for underfloor heating.
