Midrand, South Africa (23 January 2023) – Bosun, a leading manufacturer and supplier of paving bricks, kerbs, and retaining wall blocks in South Africa, has announced a partnership with BIMsmith, the leading product research platform for building professionals, for the development of new Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools for architects, engineers, and other construction professionals. 

The partnership involves the creation of data-rich digital models of Bosun products that integrate seamlessly with BIM design software used by building professionals globally. Each product model contains key data representing both geometric and performance capabilities of each product, allowing for highly accurate early-stage design. The digital models are designed to integrate natively with Autodesk Revit, the leading architectural design software worldwide.  

The partnership also places Bosun products in front of a global audience of building design professionals on BIMsmith Market, the leading cloud platform used by architects and engineers to conduct building product research. 

“We are committed to providing our customers with value-added concrete products and solutions,” said Warren Hadley, Brand Manager at Bosun. “Our partnership with BIMsmith will further support architects and other building professionals, and we couldn’t be more excited.”
