BIM - Integral building planning with GEZE

Doors are frequently seen as one of the most complex construction in building planning, due to the different needs they must fulfil. In order to simplify this and the joint work of all parties involved in the construction project, we offer a comprehensive consulting BIM service as well as free BIM door objects for door planning. In various CAD systems you can adapt these individually and use them for your integral building planning.

From the planning phase through implementation to operation or a deconstruction/conversion: all this takes place in just one digital model. A variety of information can be linked to each component and element, for example maintenance cycles. This enables precise predictions to be made for the construction and life cycle costs of a building right from the start of building planning.
In order to simplify door planning in particular, we have developed GEZE BIM door objects on the basis of the results of the work of the buildingSMART door group and compared the large number of metadata already available with official door lists, making them ideally suited for international projects.

Efficient door planning with five multifunctional basic door types

With these five GEZE BIM door objects you can create countless variants of doors. For example, an automated door or a hold-open system by downloading the single-leaf swing door, using the many supplied parameters and supplementing the door according to your requirements. All elements required for door planning, such as lever handles or skylights, are already included in our door objects. Start your personal configuration now!

Single swing door

With the underlying parameters you can easily create single-leaf hinged doors with the following components: Door closers, automatic swing door drives, hold-open systems, freeswing door closers, smoke and heat vent supply air doors, access control or escape route protection.

Double swing door

The special features of the asymmetrical double-leaf swing door can be found here on the left in the BIM model: in addition to the basic parameters, further options such as closing sequence control, driver flap, configuration of the inactive leaf and much more are also available.

Manual sliding door

Manual sliding doors are a practical, space-saving and design-oriented solution. In order to make your work easier, the most frequently used wall installation has been preset. You can start directly with the planning!

Automatic sliding door

With the automatic sliding door, you can configure a personalised BIM door object with various drive and door leaf types. All options are taken into account: All-glass door, burglar protection, door for narrow profiles, break-out function, accessibility, escape route and much more.

Revolving door

At the push of a button, you can choose between 3 or 4-leaf revolving doors, as well as between underfloor drive or ceiling drive. For special requirements such as a high passenger frequency or large passage widths, the many additional options will optimally support your planning.
