Sioux Chief’s downloadable BIM
offering enables designers to specify and include Sioux Chief
product details in their models while helping contractors
develop supply chains in a digital format and make decisions
based on how installations relate to other building components.
 Sioux Chief has expanded its offering of Revit files for use with
Building Information Modeling (BIM files) ready for download on the
Sioux Chief website. Building Information Modeling is vital for the
planning and design process of building construction, allowing
information to be calculated with exact figures tied to certain
products.
Sioux Chief’s BIM models are viewable on the
Sioux Chief Resources
Page.
While BIM is often understood for its three-dimensional and
geometric characteristics, its inherent value is in the joining up
of information.
As the construction industry continues to develop the concept of
supply chains, as has been done in many other industries, Sioux
Chief’s BIM models allow designers and contractors to view their
supply chains from a more innovative viewpoint.
“We’re trying to help designers and contractors rethink how rough
plumbing products can be specified for buildings that are designed,
assembled and operated a whole new way.” said Vice President of
Product Development, Rex Baer. Story continues below

With rough plumbing
products delivered as BIM models, contractors can begin to
develop supply chains in a digital format and make decisions
based on how their installations relate to other building
components. This way, important product selection criteria
are not overlooked.
As a rough plumbing products
manufacturer, Sioux Chief hopes designers, engineers and contractors
will see the expanding BIM offering as a way to improve quality,
cost and performance of building in general.
Sioux Chief is committed to adding essential BIM content and will
continue to do so as needed. Mechanical engineers are invited to
check the website regularly for newly added content. Any suggested
file additions can be routed through Sioux Chief Inside Sales.
In addition, an ever-growing list of Specification Sheets is
available on the
Sioux Chief Spec Sheets Page.
