Uncategorized

EINDHOVEN 22-10-2020 – The integration partnership between Vixel and BIMcollab enables users of Vrex and BIMcollab to collaborate and work on three dimensional models using virtual reality (VR) and professional issue management. The integration facilitates an effective workflow, wherein the latest issue lists can be accessed and worked on within a collaborative VR session with a few clicks.

The integration combines the world’s most powerful VR-solution with the most versatile issue management platform within engineering and construction.

Erik Pijnenburg, CEO – BIMcollab: “As a true supporter of BIM collaboration, we aim to offer our users as much connections to other BIM tools as possible. We welcome Vrex to our eco system and are excited about this intergration, as it holds many advantages for users that want to collaborate in a visual way”

Synchronised BCF issues

The integration of Vrex with BIMcollab makes the work process between BIM and VR very efficient and user-friendly. All issues from BIMcollab are directly available to the user through Vrex. Users can create new issues and review or comment on existing issues. Team members can then immediately start solving them in modelling software, because issues are automatically synchronised through BIMcollab to BCF managers in BIM authoring tools.

Furthermore, through Vrex, users can easily invite colleagues and sub-contractors and join them in virtual collaborations within seconds, even users that are not customers of BIMcollab or Vrex.

Rune Vandli, Project Manager of Vixel: “Virtual Reality is the best tool available to communicate BIM clearly to everyone involved in the project, and to make sure they fully understand the challenges the project is facing, and the proposed solutions. With this great connection you can discuss issues and record decisions directly into BIMcollab. We are pleased to be part of the eco system, and looking forward to enabling great projects”

Advantages of employing VR

BIM-users worldwide are adopting VR at an increasing rate, and the list of advantages appears to be unending. Users of Vrex have reported reduced miscommunication, early detection and elimination of errors, less travelling, and overall reduction in time consumption and monetary costs.
Demonstrations and trials are available for BIMcollab users upon request, with or without VR equipment.

Modest growth expected for 2021 for the Bathroom and Kitchen Brassware and Taps Market

Uncategorized

The brassware & taps market is expected to decline 17% in 2020, this is due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Stockpiles will have at the very least started to deplete, cashflow will be running low both of which will have the potential to cause stock shortages. Looking to 2021 we estimate a steady growth of 2-4% per annum, where there has been a focus on hygiene and handwashing measures resulting from the pandemic, showing just one avenue of where this moderate upturn can come from.

Michelle Turner, editor of the Bathroom and Kitchen Brassware and Taps Market Report comments, “Resilience has been shown by many major key suppliers in the Brassware and Taps market as the means of supply has felt less distribution than other areas of the supply chain within this market, mainly thanks to pure adaptability, surplus Brexit stocks and the ever important ‘essential’ products and services provided. Although forecasts for the short term are bleak, the return of housebuilding activity and all-important consumer confidence cannot come quick enough to support the modest growth expected to return at the end of the forecast period.”

This is now considered a mature market where the top 5 suppliers represent around half of the market, the remainder is highly fragmented, which includes direct sales, sales via furniture multiples as well as retails department stores.

The value of UK imports of mixer taps has increased by 27% in the period 2016-19, whereas imports of other taps have decreased by 10%. At the end of the Brexit transition period in January 2021, a free trade deal with the EU and other trading nations will be a desired outcome, in order to stop tariffs and reduce other trade barriers coming into force.

The domestic replacement sector accounts for the largest share of the brassware and taps market at just over half in 2019. With the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 homeowners undertook many home improvements to occupy themselves which increased the sales of DIY products especially for those which offered click and collect.

Overall, around 25% of all UK households have two or more bathrooms whereas 45% have two or more WCs. This varies throughout the different types of dwellings from ‘owner occupied’, ‘private rented’, ‘local authority’ and ‘housing association’.
