Hebo is one of the major players in the field of wooden and plastic frames. Every week, its over 200 employees process approximately 3,600 meters of frame wood, around 5,000 meters of plastic profile, and about 1,500 square meters of glass. Note: this is per week. Gebr. Bodegraven has an extensive range of construction anchoring products. Project advice during the preparation phase and execution phase is also part of their service package. In addition to the Techniekplein, the frame manufacturer and anchoring specialist are also joining forces in the field of digitisation, particularly in 3D modeling and BIM. Vernooij: "We are working on an addition to our own calculation tool. When Hebo designs its frames in BIM, we ensure that the proper anchoring according to KVT is included." This is done using Buildify, a platform that serves as a 'Single Source of Truth' for construction projects. Buildify integrates BIM for accurate design simulation and efficient project execution. It gathers all essential project information in one accessible place, making fragmented tools unnecessary and enabling project teams to collaborate with a clear overview and up-to-date information. This leads to better communication, fewer errors, and a streamlined construction process.
With Buildify as the Common Data Environment (CDE), you can prevent chaotic situations where data and information get lost or are impossible to find amidst the chaos of WeTransfer and email traffic. Additionally, Buildify ensures that construction partners are well-prepared for the Quality Assurance Act. The platform provides accurate documentation and traceability of changes, which is crucial for compliance with the Wkb legislation. Hebo director Norbert Kuipers expects to launch the nationwide presentation of this automation initiative at the latest by the Bouwbeurs 2025. Other carpentry manufacturers have also approached GB about this. To ensure the quality of facade carpentry on the construction site, frame and door specialist Hebo has started conducting its own site inspections. Similar to the site inspections of the Hout100% participants, a multitude of topics are covered in a checklist. Besides delivery and storage on the construction site, positioning and embedding, special attention is given to anchoring and support.
