Reed Construction Data is excited and proud to collaborate with the AIA as the Inaugural Strategic Partner. Through this partnership, we are clearly showing our commitment to the profession of architecture and engaging directly with the architect and design community.
As the official sponsor of AIA’s knowledge community “Technology in Architecture,” we support the adoption of BIM, data standards and similar value-added technologies to facilitate the advancement of the profession.

The AIA Strategic Partnership allows Reed to connect with the architecture community and provides a significant opportunity to support the growth of this rapidly changing field.

The AIA Strategic Partnership proves to be a perfect alliance that offers benefits to everyone involved – the profession, the AIA, Reed Construction Data and the AEC community as a whole.
SmartBIM. SmartBuilding. SmartWorld.

Through an in-depth SmartBIM Object Creation Program, BPMs can rely on Reed to create high-quality, real world objects with embedded quality data (RSMeans). In addition, Reed has made it easy for architects to manage these manufacturer-specific objects as well as generic objects in Revit within the SmartBIM Library.
