Why this session exists
It started with an email. An architect sent us a list of questions: when do you choose an adjustable brickwork support and when not, how do you account for the insulation depth in the bill of quantities, and which items are almost always forgotten?
They are questions we have been getting for years, usually only once things go wrong on site. So we started answering them, at the office, over lunch. That went down so well that we now do one every week.
What is covered?
In 15 minutes we cover three things, followed by 15 minutes for your questions. In practice, that last part is the most valuable. All in all it takes a good half hour of your time.
The questions we get most often
We go over when to choose an adjustable brickwork support and when not, how to account for insulation depth and cavity width, and what belongs in the bill of quantities. We stick to the situations where things go wrong in practice, and how to solve them upfront.
What BK Geveldragers does differently
With us you get a quote within 24 hours, including a dimensional drawing and CE-certified structural calculation, and we deliver within 5 working days. We also bring the Hybrid Console+: our brickwork support that adjusts in 3D without shims, even when the façade does not run as drawn.
Digitalisation: what is already possible today
The construction sector is digitalising, but brickwork supports are often left out. Using a real plan on screen, we show how our AI calculation module reads construction plans and generates a quote from them, and how AutoBIM.be lets you pull brickwork supports straight from your BIM model.
Who is this for?
Architecture firms
After the session you know which brickwork support belongs where, what needs to go into the specifications and how to get that correctly into your BIM model. That saves discussions with the contractor afterwards.
Contractors
You bear the consequences when something is off. We show how to get a complete quote faster and why your bricklayer no longer needs shims with the Hybrid Console+.
Project developers
We show where time and money disappear in the process of façade support, and what digital plan processing changes about that.
The session works best with five or more participants. Fewer than that? Mention it in your request and we will see what is possible.
“Dank voor de fijne en zeer duidelijke toelichting met lekkere broodjes, was leerrijk en goede opfrissing van de huidige mogelijkheden. Ook fijn dat jullie direct schakelden voor een werf waar het vastliep ifv de geveldragers.”
