Deliver the custom products your clients need
Deliver the custom products your clients need
As the building industry undergoes a dramatic digital transformation, companies that manufacture and fabricate solutions for buildings face increasing pressure to deliver highly innovative and customized products and services–on time and on budget. To remain competitive, your team needs solutions that automate product development, connect manufacturing processes, and make it easy for your clients to specify your products into projects. As a recognized global leader in Building Information Modeling (BIM), Autodesk is combining our expertise in BIM and product design to help manufacturers and fabricators like you build stronger partnerships and deliver greater value to your clients.
Why leading building product manufacturers choose Autodesk
“It's a digital transformation. It's a continuous focus on making things as easy as possible for our fabricators and other customers, getting that customer intimacy as close as possible, and delivering the best possible solution.”
— Dimitri Van Nuland, Head of Development, Reynaers Aluminium
"We make every effort to shorten the design process and leave as much time as possible for production. Before iLogic, it took about a day to complete one drawing. With the power of iLogic, it takes only two to three hours."
— Mr. Masashi Imai, Design Division Leader, Hou-Tech

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Building product manufacturers make products, equipment, and supplies that go in and around buildings, such as windows, doors, elevators, escalators, HVAC systems, light fixtures, kitchen fixtures, bathroom fixtures, and wood elements. Custom fabricators provide a mechanical design-to-manufacture service for bespoke or custom items, such as entrance canopies and facades, handrails, staircases, and curtain walls.
Building products manufacturers use a variety of software at different stages in the development process, industrial design software, mechanical 3D CAD, product lifecycle management (PLM), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and visualization and rendering applications.
