Streamlining Specifications with BIM and CAD

In commercial design, millimetres matter, and even a small specification misstep can create a ripple effect across trades and timelines. Filtered water systems, though often considered a minor detail, frequently cause late-stage rework when overlooked.

This is where BIM and CAD deliver measurable value. These digital tools confirm fit, optimise coordination, and reduce risk. For specifiers committed to accuracy, sustainability, and efficient workflows, Billi’s BIM-ready solutions present a practical solution.

Why Design Accuracy Matters in Commercial Fitouts

Filtered water systems may seem simple, but they interact with multiple design elements, joinery, plumbing, electrical points, and compliance requirements. Without the right specification tools, it’s easy to underestimate their impact.

Traditional methods relying on PDFs and manual coordination often lead to:

• Unplanned ventilation cut-outs
• Cabinetry adjustments after install
• Delays due to missing dimensions or incorrect assumptions

These issues compromise project efficiency and design integrity, which BIM prevents.

How BIM and CAD Streamline Specification

BIM (Building Information Modelling) provides 3D visualisation with embedded technical data, while CAD offers precise 2D detailing. Together, they enhance clarity, reduce ambiguity, and accelerate collaboration between teams.

With our BIM and CAD resources, specifiers can:

• Validate spatial compatibility from day one
• Integrate filtered water systems into joinery layouts with confidence
• Confirm product dimensions, finishes, and service clearances
• Coordinate plumbing and cabinetry design simultaneously

This level of control eliminates guesswork and supports compliance from concept to construction.

Billi’s Advantage for Digital Specification

Billi isn’t new to specification, we’ve been trusted by architects and designers for over 30 years. All boiling and chilled systems are manufactured in Melbourne, engineered for commercial environments, and certified to the highest standards.

But what sets us apart is our specifier-first approach:

• No cupboard ventilation cut-outs required, saving joinery time
• Compact underbench units designed for tight commercial spaces
• Extensive BIM and CAD library with over 40 model combinations
• Supported by Global GreenTag and WELL Building Standard alignment

Whether you’re designing for healthcare, education, or corporate spaces, our solutions are engineered for precision.

Explore Billi’s BIM and CAD Library

Available on Bimstore, our downloadable content includes:

• Revit and 2D CAD files for AutoCAD users
• Technical specifications and installation clearances
• Model and finish options, including popular combinations like:
  • Billi OmniOne Plus 9 with XL Levered Dispenser & Gooseneck Mixer
  • Billi Eco Sparkling with Multifunction Mixer Tap
  • Billi Quadra Sparkling Plus with XL Dispenser & Mixer

Each model includes all the data you need, reducing time spent chasing files and verifying compliance.

Sustainability Built In

Billi’s products don’t just fit. They align with your environmental goals.

• Global GreenTag Gold Certified, supporting WELL, Green Star®, LEED® and BREEAM® criteria
• Water-cooled systems use less energy and operate more quietly
• Heat exchange technology captures and reuses energy between functions

Because no ventilation is required, units also avoid fan-related energy draw and sound disruption, benefits increasingly valued in open-plan environments.

What If You’re Not Using Revit?

That’s okay. Our library includes 2D CAD formats compatible with a range of platforms. And if you’re unsure whether a filtered water system warrants BIM-level detail, consider that underbench units affect cabinetry depth, electrical layouts, airflow, and compliance. The risk of skipping that detail far outweighs the effort of importing a ready-to-use model.

All files are maintained through Bimstore and updated to reflect current specifications and certifications.
