Why did Telling invest in BIM imaging? Troy E. Frank, EVP, Telling Industries, responded, "BIM has been adopted by numerous architectural firms, as well as many state and federal agencies across the country. We feel that in addition to the many advantages of the new technology, the savings in design and construction process alone will place a bold highlight on the viability of BIM in this or any other economy."

What is different about Telling's BIM images? "The Telling Industries' BIM offering takes their metal framing and puts it into context by placing their framing alongside other wall, floor, and ceiling components in an entire assembly, in order to give the design team a head start in developing their model. It does this by limiting the amount of time necessary to create the wall types that they may be using on a project"...Robert Weygant, CSI, CDT, President, Sumex Design and BIM designer.

"BIM technology offers the designers and architects the ability to plan for construction in a three-dimensional, real-time environment. BIM is known to increase productivity and save money in the design and construction process by helping to eliminate costly site delays and change orders. BIM accomplishes this by compiling all construction elements and data in a spatial environment. This facilitates a pro-active discovery of the real-world jobsite conflicts before the first shovel ever hits the dirt. BIM designers need wall section images; Telling Industries and ARCAT, Inc. offer solutions"...Mr. Frank added.

"Telling Industries has the long-term vision that BIM technology will be accepted and used by industry professionals. Accordingly, Telling has taken the wise course in developing BIM objects for the products that professionals need"...Stated Rick Jannott, President and CEO of ARCAT, Inc, the leading on-line specification-writing website. The Telling BIM images are available on ARCAT's website: http://www.ARCAT.com/bim/telling/telling.shtml. These are offered at no charge to the specification writers, designers, architects and contractors.

Telling will be exhibiting at the AWCI and CISCA annual "INTEX Show" in Denver, Colorado on April 23rd and 24th, where they will also be sponsoring an educational seminar on BIM during the event. For those interested in meeting with the company they will be available in booth #927.
