Specification support and software tools help you build better

For many different stakeholders in building design, construction and management, security specifications can be a difficult, time-consuming task. Everyone from architects, developers and contractors to security consultants, distributors, and even building inspectors, benefits from trustworthy, transparent specification support for doors and related solutions.

When the goals are better buildings, safer building users and happier customers, the answer lies in a combination of digitalisation and personalised service.

A unified digital thread eliminates any confusion which can follow when stakeholders juggle multiple versions of documents. Personalised specification support ensures stakeholders select the right door solutions, project costs accurately, and minimise costly errors along the way. From design to handover, everyone works smarter.

Software tools and specification support

From doors and door closers to wireless digital locking devices and complete digital access ecosystems, ASSA ABLOY has solutions for almost any building or opening. This vast range and breadth of project experience creates uniquely broad-based knowledge, including about the latest innovations in low-impact mobile access and other energy-saving digital solutions.

ASSA ABLOY specification experts can ensure fire safety and barrier-free accessibility are factored into early versions of a design, for example. This helps building owners and investors to meet compliance and safety requirements directly from project initiation, saving time and stress.

ASSA ABLOY software tools such as Openings Studio help security security specialists and distributors specify accurately and manage stock efficiently. When a digital thread is maintained through building management, fire and safety inspectors complete their tasks time- and cost-efficiently.

Openings Studio brings projects together in one intuitive environment by creating a transparent digital platform where everyone contributes. For this reason, it is already deployed all over the world as a trusted design, specification, compliance and ordering tool – for building projects of every size and type.

Deployed alongside personalised support from locally based ASSA ABLOY specification teams, it offers material benefits to every stakeholder.

Stakeholder #1: Architects
To realise their vision for the final building, architects need everyone on the same page. Efficient collaboration and effective management of communication help them stay in control of project quality and timelines. Openings Studio streamlines this without eating into the time architects need to focus on design.

“Openings Studio software introduced us to a whole new way of thinking and efficiency,” says David Zarhy, whose firm Zarhy Architects used Openings Studio for the Broadcom R&D Center at Tel Aviv University.

The project transparency and knowledge-sharing that ASSA ABLOY bring to security specification is also invaluable, saving time and preventing mistakes. With detailed specifications supplied digitally at an early stage, architects visualise door and security solutions accurately as soon as possible. This way, aesthetics and usability are not disrupted by last-minute hardware surprises.
