DISCOVER THE NEW SAINT-GOBAIN AFRICA DESIGN AND SPECIFICATION TOOLS

Saint-Gobain Africa is launching a brand-new online reference hub for all Saint-Gobain solutions, making it easier than ever for architects, engineers, specifiers, construction professionals, installers and home owners to find information about the right systems for their project and obtain the resources they need.

The free online hub for Saint-Gobain Design and Specification Tools has been custom designed by Saint-Gobain Africa’s dedicated all-star, female Technical Support and Development team – all architecture graduates – to support their customers, as well as design and construction industry professionals, in realising their vision of a comfortable and sustainable built environment with Saint-Gobain solutions.

The new Saint-Gobain Design and Specification Tools platform will offer a variety of solutions for projects under a single, convenient reference hub. The platform will essentially provide a customer-centric, beautifully designed and packaged portal that will organise all Saint-Gobain systems under the banners of Walls, Ceilings and Floors, for simplicity and ease of use.

Under these banners, you will have access to an interactive drywall solutions guide, free BIM files, specifications, drawings, guidelines, installation guides, material calculators, system selectors, brochures and contacts for all of Saint-Gobain products and systems. This will provide Saint-Gobain’s customers and partners with access to a library of files created by the company’s brands for each system presented in appropriate formats. It will make it easier for architects, engineers, construction professionals and the home owner to retrieve information on Saint-Gobain systems, access and share resources, including product files, which will ultimately improve decision-making in the African construction industry across all the regions in which Saint-Gobain is available.

“We understand how precious time is and our customers are at the centre of our activities. The primary objective of the new platform is to support efficiency, as well as improved workflow and processes. The customer is empowered to ‘shop’ for solutions based on project-specific requirements,” says Sathia Govender, Technical Solutions Manager at Saint-Gobain Africa.

He adds that the new platform will also include examples of inspirational projects to create a sense of the possibilities of what can be achieved with Saint-Gobain systems.

The platform will be hosted on the Saint-Gobain Africa website, and will operate similarly to an online shopping experience, putting the user in control of the resources they select and download.

Clients can easily gain free access to these new resources simply by creating an account and registering for access to this online tool.

The information included on this platform will be updated regularly so that it is always current. It will also be possible to gain access to Saint-Gobain BIM solutions from more than 50 countries, and to access the global library.

“This reaffirms our commitment to innovation and tailoring solutions based on our customers’ needs, especially during these challenging and unprecedented times,” says Govender.
