CHICAGO, IL (January 27, 2023) – UFP-Edge, a leading manufacturer and supplier of innovative siding, pattern, and trim products, 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 includes a suite of new Building Information Modeling (BIM) product models for UFP-Edge products. These data-rich digital models contain key data representing both geometric and aesthetic properties of each product, allowing for highly accurate early-stage design. Each model integrates seamlessly with Autodesk Revit, the leading BIM design software used by building professionals globally.

The partnership also places UFP-Edge products, like their Thermally Modified Wood siding and Native Woods shiplap collections, 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. 

“UFP-Edge is committed to going the extra mile with architects and designers to help them design beautiful exteriors and inviting interiors,” said Jase DeBoer, Senior Manager of B.A.S.E. Development at UFP Retail Solutions, a team focused on providing education, resources, and innovation to builders, architects, specifiers, and engineers. “Our BIM content on BIMsmith makes it easier than ever for building professionals to choose UFP-Edge for their BIM projects.”

“Throughout the specification process, architects are constantly in search of quality materials that they know will look incredible both now and long into the future,” said Benjamin Glunz, CEO at BIMsmith. “On behalf of the entire BIMsmith community of architects, we’re excited to welcome UFP-Edge to the platform.”
