BIM AS A WORK METHODOLOGY
DIGITAL SYSTEM FOR ARCHITECTURAL TEAMS

From Data Structure to Automation and Team Collaboration — BIM as a Work Style in Architecture

1️⃣ FOR WHOM THIS SERVICE IS INTENDED

We work with architects, design studios, developers, and teams who are implementing or improving BIM as a working process—regardless of their level of experience.

We support professionals at every stage of development:

  • Beginners: They want to understand where to start, how to structure projects, and work with templates and basic tools. They often face fragmented files, unclear structure, and lack of standards.

  • Those already working with Revit or other BIM tools: They face issues with data organization, templates, and model coordination between specialists. They need standards, automation, access control, and a working structure.

  • Experienced teams: They work with large models, multiple users, engineering coordination, point clouds, and complex projects. They are looking for automation, API integration, CDE integration, Facility Management, and model coordination in complex environments.

2️⃣ FULL-FLEDGED BIM MODEL — THE INFORMATION CORE

BIM model is not just 3D geometry, but a comprehensive information base from which all project documentation, analytics, and reports are generated. We create it with a focus on accuracy, structuring, and suitability for integration into any workflow.

  • Data-driven BIM — each element of the model carries information: type, material, parameters, relationships. This helps avoid duplication, manual calculations, and ensures data relevance.

  • Automatic generation of drawings, areas, volumes, and tables — all output documents are generated from the model without additional processing. Changes are made once — and automatically updated everywhere.

  • Export to IFC, DWG, XLS, PDF formats — we provide the ability to transfer data to compatible environments: for the client, expert reviews, or other project participants.

  • Automatic report generation — Stellplätze, GRZ / GFZ, Flächenberechnung, Kubatur, ENEV — everything required by standards is extracted from the model with just one click.

  • Model checking tools — special tables and checks allow us to identify duplicates, missing values, parameter violations — before they become errors in the drawings.

  • Readiness for Facility Management — the BIM model can be used not only for design but also during the building's operational phase. We foresee a structure that includes spatial identification, labeling of rooms and technical elements, enabling integration of the model into Facility Management (FM) systems. This ensures effective operation, equipment tracking, maintenance schedules, and quick access to information about each building element.

We build the model not for appearance, but for use. Drawings are just one way to read the data inside.

3️⃣ COLLABORATIVE WORK AND INFRASTRUCTURE

The BIM model is a living digital system created by a team, not just one person. Therefore, we first establish the right environment for collaborative work, allowing multiple specialists to work in parallel, effectively, and safely.

  • Revit Worksharing is a technology that allows each team member to work with their local copy of the model, synchronizing changes with the central model. This ensures simultaneous collaboration on the project without editing conflicts.

  • We set up the infrastructure for accessing the central model: through a server or cloud platforms (e.g., BIM Collaborate Pro, CDE). This ensures stable operation both in the office and remotely.

  • We explain the usage rules, prevent typical mistakes (such as losing copies or editing conflicts), and implement model behavior protocols.

  • If necessary, we consult on the implementation of VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) and remote hosting for large teams.

Without a reliable digital environment, there is no effective BIM. We start with the basics — so your team can work as a unified whole.

4️⃣ STRUCTURE, NAMING, AND TEMPLATES

In order for the BIM environment to be effective, a well-thought-out system is needed, covering storage, naming structure, and the behavior logic of the model. We implement such a system in accordance with ISO 19650, as well as drawing on practices that truly work in daily project work.

  • First, we build the project server structure, which covers all stages of the object lifecycle: from initial data to final sets. It reflects the team's workflow logic and allows for easy navigation through the data flow.

  • Next, we implement a classified file naming system (incoming, working, outgoing), which covers documents of various purposes: architectural documentation, informational models, tabular reports, coordination files for interdisciplinary interaction, as well as supporting and coordination documents. Naming is based on key attributes: document type, phase, role, discipline, identifier, status, and revision — according to ISO 19650. At the same time, the naming structure may change depending on the specifics of the projects, internal processes, and participant interaction features. We adapt the system to the real needs of your organization.

  • Based on the internal structure, we create Revit templates that include the entire working environment: configured rules, project tree, styles, filters, conditional graphics, parameters, control mechanisms, standard families, and stamps. A template is not a file but the foundation of your team's digital behavior.

  • All solutions are supported by digital protocols: guidelines, instructions, interaction diagrams that explain the structure and standards for both internal and external work with the model.

We do not impose order — we create it together with you. A unified naming system and templates are the key to control, speed, and quality in BIM.

5️⃣ STANDARDS AND LIBRARIES

We develop and implement Revit family libraries as the foundation for fast and consistent design. All families have a clear structure: parameters, types, symbolic graphics, and behavior logic in specifications.

  • A custom library is a crucial step towards standardization, but in real-world practice, external (pre-made) families are also often used. Therefore, we teach the understanding of library usage ethics: what to import into a project, how to check families before import, and why it’s necessary to control the family parameters. Incorrect values or types can impact specifications, disrupt the display logic, distort the model structure, or introduce errors into the documentation.

  • The library should not be just a collection of elements, but a structured system: categorized, named, aligned with the template, and understandable to the entire team.

Well-organized library management is not just about comfort; it ensures the technical security and stability of your project.

6️⃣ AUTOMATION OF ROUTINE TASKS

Automation is a practical tool for accelerating project processes and reducing errors. It is applied both at the modeling level and in the preparation of drawings.

  • Revit Journals + Excel + VBS — we use an instrumental connection between Revit journals, Excel, and VBS scripts to automatically create the project template. The entire project structure, including levels, views, parameters, and names, is stored and edited in Excel, after which it is automatically recreated by executing the modified launch journal.

This approach allows you to form a template not as a static file, but as a managed system. You can quickly update the project structure without redoing manual adjustments, adapt the template to new conditions, avoid human errors, and launch model preparation in minutes. This is especially effective for offices with a large number of similar or repetitive projects.

  • Dynamo scripts — are used for managing the project structure, preparing parameters, placement, checks, and batch actions. This covers both modeling and drawing preparation.

  • Integration with Excel allows for data exchange, labeling, specifications, and reports — with subsequent updates in the model.

We use automation as part of project initiation. This allows reducing time, minimizing manual tasks, and ensuring consistent quality regardless of scale.

7️⃣ BIM CONSULTING AND SUPPORT

We help companies not just implement BIM, but make it a functional tool for daily operations. Consulting involves a deep integration into existing processes, adapting tools, training the team, and supporting them during changes.

  • Development of AIA (Auftraggeber-Informationsanforderungen) and BAP (BIM-Abwicklungsplan) — we help formulate the client's requirements for the model and develop a detailed plan for implementing BIM within a specific project or for internal company processes. This is the foundation that defines requirements for model structure and quality, regulates data exchange among project participants, and allocates responsibilities.

  • Audit of existing BIM processes — we analyze how templates, libraries, model structure, and data transmission work. We identify bottlenecks, duplications, unnecessary steps, and optimize processes for your team and real tasks.

  • Support for pilot projects — we accompany the first projects with new standards, from initial meetings to final deliverables. We explain the steps, participate in setting up the environment, templates, libraries, and coordination meetings.

  • Staff training — not just pressing buttons, but understanding BIM structure, logic, working with information, standards, and model behavior. We explain the relationships between templates, libraries, and work processes. We form a team that is confident working with BIM.

We do not just implement technology — we implement a work culture. Because BIM is not just about models. It’s about the people who work with them.
