The roofing tool joins the company's current lineup of wall, floor and ceiling assemblies. Through the BIMSmith platform, professionals can build, collaborate and share their product data seamlessly among key stakeholders.

BIMsmith has partnered with industry leaders in the roofing vertical to provide branded product data from manufacturers like Redbuilt, GAF, ICP, Akzo Nobel, Fabral and Weyehaeuser.

"BIMsmith has led the charge for web based BIM data creation for years," BIMsmith CEO, Benjamin Glunz stated. "Roofing is absolutely critical to any building project," notes BIMsmith CEO Benjamin Glunz.
