The main purpose of éptár is to complete marketing communication activity for the Hungarian producers and dealers of construction materials.
The four years of operation of éptár proved that our services provide benefits for the producers and the dealers of construction materials, as well as the architects.
The benefits of our services for the producers and the dealers of construction materials are the followings:
Effective transfer of information on the products and services to the designers and the customers.
Provision of the principles and aids of designing for the designers.
Preparation of exact and technically correct documents with the help of product oriented applications.
Establishment of specification of goods and layer systems with real constructing materials.
Support of the establishment of electronic contact.
Automatic ask for quotation and quotation (via Internet).
The benefits of our free services for the architects and the designers are the followings:
Contacts of the building companies.
Quick access to the information on the products and the services, as well as the principles and aids of designing.
Accessibility to real constructing materials in the CAD systems of construction to make structural drawings, documents and designs.
Application of product specific designing programs.
Quick and exact completion of the product specific parts of the technical descriptions and the specification of goods.
Quick completion and printing of thermotechnical calculation.
The channels of the marketing communication completed by éptár are the followings:
Our company and product information, as well as software are available free of charge and without registration in our catalogue at www.eptar.hu.
The éptár CD-ROM issued annually provides the same information as our webpage without internet requirement for the Hungarian architects.
Production of special reference CD-ROM-s on the products.
Special and individual marketing communication activities (webpage, establishment of strategies, road shows, etc.)
Tools
The basis of our services is the knowledge of the methods of the architects, as well as of the CAD systems and other tools applied by them. There are several technologies available for us and most of them were developed during the last some years by us. These technologies help to meet the individual requirements of development quickly and effectively.
It's important for us to provide exact information on the possible solutions and the most appropriate solution is going to be determined during personal consultation.
Technologies:
Completion of the CAD systems with product specific applications
ArchiCAD, AutoCAD and Nemetschek Allplan are aids to be applied in CAD systems of construction. Specification of goods of high quality can be made quickly within the CAD systems on the basis of the technical possibilities and the logics of the products during the preparation of the documents.
For instance, the roof structure of model made by the ArchiCAD program can be roofed with the application of roofing by pressing one button. The application places the tiles and the different accessories (ventilating tiles, snow piles, hips and ridge tiles, as well as tin plates and wall edges) automatically according to the geometric shape of the 3D model. The items used for the roof are listed afterwards.
Applications being independent of the CAD systems
There are configuration and designing programs being independent of the designing programs of construction. These applications are developed for experts (building engineers, contractors, and dealers) who do not use CAD systems. Most of these solutions of ours were integrated into the systems of sale of the producers later.
For instance, our designing software of windows and doors is easy to access and operate for everybody. The special forms of windows and doors can be designed and ordered electronically quickly and easily.
Applications operating in Internet environment
There are applications using or completing the web browsers. These applications can be downloaded or used via Internet by anybody. They help to communicate the information on the products to as wide range of users as possible making the products well-known.
CAD product files
The intelligent and parametric catalogues of products applied by ArchiCAD and AutoCAD programs help to place the different structures (windows, doors, walls, chimneys, stairs, barriers, etc.) and furnishings (furniture, lamps, etc.) as well as to make designs and list of items.
The architectures can use real constructing materials even at the very first phase of the designing with the help of the product files.
Production of CD-ROM-s of products
Beside of the development our company undertakes to produce designing CD-ROM-s as well. In this case we are glad to complete the content of the CD-ROM, as well as to complete the designing of appearance and the production of CD-ROM-s. Although it is called designing CD-ROM but it is not just for designers. The collected information on the products and the different solutions can be useful for each participant of the building industry.
For instance, the offline webpage, the catalogues in pdf format, as well as the price lists and the instructions of the producer are available in the CD-ROM.
