Summer 2018

It’s official:
the workplace industry has converted
to the world of BIM, they know how it
can benefit their business, and, most
importantly, prevent them from losing
existing or new project where BIM is a
requirement.
During CDW we did some investigating…
44% felt they knew what BIM was but wanted some more
guidance, whereas 50% had either never heard of BIM
or had very limited knowledge. Shockingly, 57% of sales
attendees relied on counting every item of furniture to
produce a quotation. 53% of customers expect a little extra, such as 3D renders.
BIM is the evolution of CAD that improves accuracy, increases project speed and promotes collaboration. Together we can eliminate
errors in our digital building before installation, preventing product waste and reducing project delays.
Furniture manufacturers are entering the next generation of digital modelling. Customers can now take a true glimpse into their new
environments with the help of parametric CAD models, linked true architecture, and super-fast rendering.

Just as sitting was declared ‘the new smoking’ by some,
counterclaims now state that excessive standing can
compromise health and wellbeing, too. The true benefit of a sitstand
desk is in the regular movement it encourages. Alternating
every 20-30 minutes is ideal, but it is also important to educate
users on how to appropriately adjust their workstations for both
standing and seated heights to prevent undue strain.
KI’s Work2 Sit-Stand can be integrated with software to
programme a user’s ideal sitting and standing heights, eliminating
the risk of incorrect adjustments. It also reminds users to
reposition at regular intervals.”
