THE ADVANTAGES OF THE BIM PROCESS IN PLANNING

With AGI BIM Firestop, we can offer you a complete package for the planning and creation of fire barriers in your BIM project. Our fire protection software system allows us to identify possible conflicts and optimisation potential in the planning at an early stage and thus propose the most cost-effective solutions for your BIM process. Through targeted adjustments in HVACSE planning, special solutions required later for the bulkheads can be avoided and additional costs during execution can be reduced. Optimised recess sizes, which are precisely matched to the media carried out, can reduce not only the material costs, but also the planning and coordination costs in the event of changes and additional core drilling. Optimal firestop engineering with our BIM software for fire protection planning of the future.

ADVANTAGES FOR CLIENTS, DEVELOPERS, CONTRACTORS

PLANNING SECURITY

With the help of our specially developed BIM software, we localise all relevant breakthroughs in walls and ceilings and identify the necessary requirements for firestop solutions.

In this way, we can identify possible conflicts in planning at an early stage, enable interface security and provide you with an overview of the complete extent of the firestop solutions, including the required openings - even before the tender is invited.

COST TRANSPARENCY

The combination of automation and the expert knowledge of our fire protection specialists enables us to define the best system for each individual firestop solution.

You can therefore be sure that planning is carried out with suitable, approved fire protection systems and you know exactly how many of these you will need. The integration into the BIM process allows us to optimise the choice of systems for each situation right from the start and to identify cost drivers much more reliably than would be possible in conventional planning. Situations that would lead to expensive special solutions during execution can be identified and avoided. Openings in walls and ceilings are optimised according to occupancy and requirements, planning and coordination efforts for additional openings, drilling and the closing of too large recesses can be avoided. This improves the quality of your planning and increases cost efficiency.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

The creation of high-quality firestop solutions is one of our core competences.

We would like to use the gained knowledge about your project to guarantee you the highest level of quality both in the execution of the firestop design and all other structural fire protection solutions. With AGI BIM Firestop we can offer you the realisation of the firestop design throughout the entire construction process - from modelling to professional installation on site and facility management.

ADVANTAGES FOR PLANNERS

LOCALISATION OF FIRESTOP SOLUTIONS & REQUIREMENTS

Firestop solutions are identified by carrying out clash detection of installations with fire-separating elements. By analysing planned installations, insulations and fire resistance periods, Orange Button® recognises where a firestop solution is necessary and what the requirements for the firestop system are.

EVALUATION OF THE OPTIMAL OPENING SIZES

If possible, do not plan any openings in your building models. Orange Button® generates the best opening for each clash of installations with fire-separating elements, based on the planned installations, insulation, minimum distances and maximum sizes. The most efficient solution is suggested so that situations which would often lead to expensive special solutions can be avoided.

SELECTION OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND APPROVED FIRESTOP SYSTEMS

On the basis of the situation, requirements and predefined criteria, the most suitable firestop system is proposed for each opening. This way you can be sure that you always plan with systems that have the necessary certfificates and you know exactly how many of them you need. Additional costs due to technical requirements can be avoided.

COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF ALL FIRESTOP SOLUTIONS

When we create a BIM Firestop design for you, we document all the firestop solutions in your project. Each one is clearly identifiable and precisely described, including the materials to be used, details of the relevant approvals and 3D visualisation. All firestop solutions are located on overview plans. This makes coordination easier, allows easy comparison between the planned and the executed status and thus improves quality.

MODELLING OF THE FIRESTOP DESIGN FOR THE BIM MODEL

We provide the complete BIM Firestop Design as .IFC and .RVT files. Depending on the project and the BIM process, we can deliver the finished firestop design complete, in phases, or in individual parts - according to your requirements.

INTERFACE SECURITY & ADVANTAGES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

Our BIM firestop solutions contain all relevant information, which is conveniently presented. It is always clear which elements must be present for a successful construction and who is responsible for them. Possible differences between planning and execution are easier to spot. This helps to define the dependencies and saves coordination effort.

SYSTEM ADVANTAGES

At AGI, we can draw on a wealth of knowledge in the field of fire protection and the creation of high-quality firestop solutions is one of our core competencies. Together with our international partners, we have many of the most extensively tested fire protection systems available and can therefore offer you an optimal solution for your requirements. Visit us at www.agi.swiss for an overview of our range of fire protection solutions. Of course, we are happy to use our expertise to develop creative, non standard solutions together with you. All our firestop systems are integrated in our digital BIM Library, completely modelled in 3D and serve as the basis for our BIM Firestop designs.

AGI MACHT'S - FULL SERVICE

The construction of high-quality firestop solutions is one of our core competences!

In every project we support in firestop planning or tendering, we study in detail the specific conditions, challenges and the best approaches. We would like to use this knowledge to guarantee you the highest level of quality both in the execution of the firestop systems and all other structural fire protection solutions. With AGI BIM Firestop, we can offer you the realisation of the firestop design throughout the entire construction process - from the planning stage, through professional installation on site, to facility management, always with the aim of making your buildings safer and protecting your investments.
