BIMCRUNCH Australia: Autumn ’25 Is Here

Locally driven, digitally led: this issue redefines what it means to build with purpose in Australia.

The Autumn ’25 edition of BIMCRUNCH Australia marks a confident step forward in how we support and celebrate our local built environment. As Bimstore expands globally, this issue reflects the unique character of construction across Australia- where practicality meets performance, and sustainability takes precedence.

Across these pages, you’ll meet the manufacturers and makers transforming how we think about digital content, materials, and design -from sun-drenched barbecues to high-performance facades.

We begin with a powerful statement about Australia’s embrace of BIM, not as a trend but as a toolkit. “Building Digital the Australian Way” captures the clarity, pace, and intention driving BIM uptake across the country. It sets the tone for a publication that’s proudly local, yet globally aware. From there, we dive into Christie Barbecues, the original pioneers of the public barbecue, showing how smart, inclusive infrastructure can bring people together and anchor communities in urban life. Their 60-year legacy proves that good design doesn’t just stand up to the elements, it creates places that people want to be. Zip Water makes a bold claim with their newly certified MicroPurity filters, tackling PFAS contamination head-on and reinforcing their leadership in advanced water safety. Meanwhile, fellow hydration experts Billi deliver on luxury, efficiency, and sustainability with their home range, offering a clean, customisable solution for modern kitchens. In the heart of thermal performance, Ametalin reveals how building membranes tailored to climate zones can transform energy efficiency outcomes across the continent. Their partnership with Bimstore is helping ensure specifiers can access climate-smart data right from the model. Design-led functionality also comes to life through Eskimo, who crunch the numbers behind their energy-efficient towel rails, making luxury affordable and sustainable. GROHE, on the other hand, streamlines the installation process with their Rapido Shower Frame, reducing time on-site and offering sleek solutions that cater to Australia’s love of minimalism and quality.

We also step inside two beautifully executed projects with Alteria, whose aluminium systems blend form and function across homes in Berwick and South Melbourne. These battens offer the warmth of timber with the durability and precision that only aluminium can deliver. In shading and passive solar design, Heka Hoods show how bracket-less, minimalist awnings can contribute to compliance and energy performance- all while looking effortlessly good. And Purati Lighting makes a striking debut with architectural lighting systems that balance elegance, control, and future-ready engineering. Beyond products, we explore the human side of innovation. From Bosch executive Geoff Liersch’s global career journey to our in-house feature, “Specifying Change”, which puts the spotlight on Australia’s next generation of sustainability-focused designers, this issue is filled with stories of people shaping the future with purpose. This edition ends where all good digital journeys should, with clarity. “How BIM Strengthens, Not Threatens, Your Competitive Edge” is a reminder that sharing knowledge is not a weakness, but a strategy for long-term success. For manufacturers ready to go digital, BIMCRUNCH is here to help amplify their voice.

Autumn in Australia is a season of reflection and preparation- and this issue captures both. As we gear up for what’s next, one thing’s certain: with the right content, context, and community, the Australian construction industry is making bold strides in its digital transformation and its commitment to a more sustainable built environment.
