BIMCRUNCH Australia: Winter '25 At the Ready

The Winter ’25 edition of BIMCRUNCH Australia explores the new standard being set across the built environment, where product performance and digital clarity come together.

This issue celebrates manufacturers who aren’t just innovating but are actively reshaping how product data, design intent, and specification quality intersect. Their stories speak to a growing momentum across the country: one that’s digitally capable and grounded in real-world application.

We begin with Eskimo Heat, whose energy-efficient towel rails challenge the idea that functional elements should disappear into the background. From London to Melbourne, their presence signals a global design language with distinctly regional relevance. Ibex follows, presenting a BIM-ready piping system that strips out complexity and delivers where it counts: on-site and in the model. Our own team at Bimstore takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the ongoing identity crisis of BIM objects. As naming conventions continue to vary wildly across platforms and professionals, the Bimstore Bible stands as a much-needed reference point for manufacturers seeking consistency and specifiers demanding accuracy. Next, Zip Water raises the bar for workplace hydration with its advanced HydroTap system, pairing cutting-edge efficiency with environmental responsibility. With features like PFAS filtration, lower GWP refrigerants, and PowerPulse™ technology.

The spotlight then turns to the rise of EPD-backed BIM content, a shift that’s quickly becoming the default rather than the exception. With verified product data now influencing mainstream specification, our pastel green EPD label and new one-click filter help users find low-carbon options without slowing down design workflows. We round out the issue with Christie barbecues, whose barbecue cooktops bring people together while supporting design flexibility. Their approach proves that even the smallest details when done right, can define a place and anchor community life. Whether customising for coastal parks or inner-city spaces, their products reflect over 60 years of experience and a belief in design that adapts, lasts, and belongs.

This winter edition is a clear continuation of our mission: to connect manufacturers with meaningful digital tools and to help specifiers access the best possible content, built with care, verified with data, and shared with purpose. Australia’s digital construction movement is no longer just growing; it’s maturing. And BIMCRUNCH is here to celebrate every step of that transformation.
