Wienerberger Ltd is the UK's leading provider of wall, roof and landscaping innovations. It validates its BIM objects through certification to the BSI Kitemark™ for BIM Objects. By harnessing the powerful endorsement of the widely recognized BSI Kitemark™ – the original mark of trust since 1903 – the company reassures customers of its commitment to product and service excellence.

In a competitive market, the BSI Kitemark is a mark of trust, giving customers confidence in Wienerberger's BIM objects and physical products.

Customer satisfaction is strengthened by giving trusted information to specifiers, designers and other object users, so they can deliver projects efficiently, effectively and with reduced risk.

Risk is reduced by ensuring Wienerberger's products meet customer specification and performance requirements, avoiding the costly consequences of rework or replacement.
