Product Leadership

“Having worked with ASSA ABLOY on a number of projects, including Cardinal Place, New Street Square and One New Change, we knew the company had the resources and expertise to deliver.”

Land Securities Group PLC

Canary Wharf

Each ASSA ABLOY specification was delivered in accordance with an individual development’s unique architectural aesthetic, whilst accommodating the client’s security, fire, life safety and building operational efficiency requirements.

ASSA ABLOY are totally committed to easing the specification burden through full BIM

interaction for our timber and metal door sets together with an NBS writing support service for

those items that may still need to be specified as standalone components.

As a trusted auxiliary member of your design team our specialists will ensure that the solutions

identified will accord with your clients exacting design, legislative, fiscal and operational

requirements.

As a global manufacturer, ASSA ABLOY offer the reassurance of local onsite technical support

and long term warranties, bringing true peace of mind to the developer, architect, contractor,

client and building operator alike

Specification Simplified

Riverbank House

Specification, supply and installation of ASSA ABLOY specialist security and personnel door sets throughout this landmark Thames side development.

The secret to a successful security strategy lies with the invisible integration of a clients brief

within the environment in which it is to protect whilst providing the consumer with a user

friendly interface.

To attain such an indiscernible solution we gain a clear understanding of how a building will

operate then rigorously review our extensive range of access control solutions to determine the

correct combination of components available to provide optimum compatibility yet retaining

function and form as the waypoints in the specification process.

Design, integration, operation and durability are assured

Optimum Performance

New Court

Supplying a cutting edge access control solution together with a comprehensive range of specialist steel door sets allowed ASSA ABLOY to surpass our discerning client’s operational and design requirements.

Service is the cornerstone of success.

Critical time management in the delivery of correct product samples and schedules can make or

break a client presentation. ASSA ABLOY fully understand the demands placed upon architects and

designers to deliver in accordance with your clients’ expectations.

Working from conception to completion ASSA ABLOY have the overwhelming desire to

become your service driven solution provider

Service Delivered

Building information modelling is becoming the industry standard for construction projects.

ASSA ABLOY have actively developed unique solutions for designers adopting BIM principles.

Complete door set BIM models are available for both timber, steel and security door

applications and these may be customised to your project’s unique design requirements.

Each of our objects profile data, including COBie for public projects, to provide invaluable

information for digital search and calculation.

As a one stop solution provider our BIM objects consider whole life cycle costs making the

specification process transparent to all.

BIM not only improves construction efficiency but also protects the integrity of your

specification for the full life cycle of the development
