GRP BIM and design resources
Choose the right BIM, CAD or schedule route for GRP grating, profiles, handrail and access systems. Build a request summary that gives the technical team the context needed to respond properly.

Request summary
Format guide
| Format | Use it for | Include in the request |
|---|---|---|
| Revit / RVT | Coordinated model workflows and schedules. | Project stage, family/category expectations, shared coordinates, naming rules and revision status. |
| IFC | Open model exchange and clash review. | Model purpose, geometry detail, classification needs and issue deadline. |
| DWG | 2D setting out and typical construction details. | Panel layout, support details, section profile, fixing positions and scale. |
| STEP / STP | Component geometry and fabricated parts. | Exact profile/component route, size, fixing interface and intended use. |
| PDF / XLS | Submittals, cut lists, schedules and approvals. | Datasheets, quantities, drawing references, revision, project notes and required date. |
Project-specific verification warning: BIM and CAD information must be checked against the live quotation, current product datasheet, site survey, structural requirements and project standard before construction or installation. Generic models are not construction approval.
Connected design tools
Panel optimiser
Estimate grating panel count, offcuts, fixing allowance and quote notes before preparing a model or drawing.
Profile cut-list
Build a stock bar and fabrication summary for angle, channel, box, tube and I-beam routes.
Technical support
Send drawings, standards, load cases, environmental notes and model requirements for project-specific review.
Continue from BIM and design
Move from design resources into product selection, calculators and technical support.
BIM and model requests work best when they are connected to the correct GRP product family, load assumptions, resin requirements and project delivery route.
Model grating routesChoose standard mesh, mini mesh, solid top or pultruded flooring.Model profile routesUse profile families for frames, supports and fabricated assemblies.Panel optimiserEstimate panels, offcuts and layout assumptions before modelling.Technical supportSend drawings, loads, exposure and design questions.
