Inside the architect’s workflow: how specifiers choose building products
Learn how BIM influences product selection and what makes specifiers choose one brand over another. Insights from BIMobject’s expert interview.
“BIMobject allows us to get in front of nearly 8,000 people a day. In our first year alone we generated over 70 qualified leads.”
—Spacesaver
Spacesaver—a manufacturer of commercial shelving and storage products in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin—joined BIMobject through Autodesk’s Seek accounts in 2017. Since transitioning to the BIMobject Cloud for its digital infrastructure, they’re able to showcase their products to over 1.5 million architects, engineers, designers, and construction companies worldwide.
Spacesaver realized that there were a lot of platforms out there that could host Autodesk Revit models. However, they wanted to gain as much visibility as possible while having control and traction. According to a representative from Spacesaver, “The BIMobject platform provides us with all of that, including peace of mind with a Single Source of Truth.”
Spacesaver has always had a tremendous team of CAD engineers creating models for several alternative platforms. However, in-house Autodesk Revit model capability was limited. Enter BIMobject. The marketplace enabled Spacesaver to convert its files into sophisticated Autodesk Revit models that are easy to access and use for the design and construction community. This now makes BIMobject a vital component of Spacesaver's digital infrastructure.
BIMobject enabled Spacesaver to get in front of nearly 8,000 people a day. In their first year alone, they generated over 70 qualified leads. Now, they not only see BIMobject as a reliable distribution platform, they see them as a partner in their overall success. Ongoing active content creation now directly results in business leads. For 2019, Spacesaver is eagerly looking to expand its portfolio of BIM objects.

For sanitary manufacturers, BIM objects offer a decisive advantage: they make products visible to architects early in the design process, strengthen brand credibility, and open a powerful marketing channel to reach decision-makers.
