Data Sheets

One of Forterra’s aims is to provide designers, specifiers and builders with accurate and up to date information to assist in the selection and use of concrete blocks in construction. We have a series of data sheets which offer useful and detailed technical guidance.

BIM

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is now being used in the planning and design phase of projects to produce digital representations of buildings, together with detailed technical information, accreditations and other background data to create an information-rich specification. We have developed BIM-compatible models of our block products for integration into such designs and plans.

This tool allows you to quickly narrow down your material specifications and desired construction method. Once selected, please contact our Technical Services team who will be able to arrange an official U-value assessment.
