BIM advisory, CDE implementation and building performance
Support can focus on a defined review, an analysis, a project leadership role or a change in how the organization works. The starting point is the problem to solve, the decisions involved and the evidence required—not a predefined software package.
BIM/VDC management, project review & information governance
Models and documents are useful when teams can understand their status, check them against agreed requirements and act on what remains unresolved. This service connects project leadership, BIM coordination and model review with practical information workflows.
Review the information that decisions depend on
Define review criteria and examine model information, coordination and deliverables against the agreed project requirements. Findings identify the issue, its significance and the evidence needed to assess its resolution. IFC and openBIM workflows are used where appropriate to the assignment.
Close the review loop
Organize observations, responsibilities, responses and versions. Check revised submissions and maintain a traceable record of what changed and what remains open. Model updates are a separate, explicitly agreed scope; review does not imply permission to alter another party’s authoring model.
Make BIM and the CDE work for the team
A common data environment adds value when the team knows which information to use, who reviews it and how to close each issue. Implementation connects information requirements, document structures, permissions and review workflows with team training and adoption. turboIFC Projects is the CDE solution within the turboIFC ecosystem for working with models, documents, versions and issues.
Connect coordination with delivery
A VDC approach connects team collaboration, models and processes with project objectives and measurable commitments. Support can extend through design, construction, handover and facilities management, according to the project’s information needs.
Typical outputs: agreed review criteria, a prioritized findings register, revision follow-up, documented information workflows and recommendations for the next decisions. Deliverables are confirmed in the assignment scope.
BIM Assurance — powered by TurboIFC
Recurring openBIM audits against agreed project requirements, with documented findings and follow-up. From USD 900/month per active project.
Experience includes healthcare and complex building projects. BIM strategy and execution plans remain part of the agreed information-management scope. CES advisory and CEV assessment are retained within the professional role confirmed for each assignment.
Building performance, energy modeling & thermal analysis
Early decisions about the envelope, building systems and operation can be compared through simulation rather than left as assumptions. Studies help teams evaluate alternatives, understand thermal comfort and energy use, and prepare technical evidence for the applicable requirements.
Compare design and operational options
Dynamic building energy simulation and thermal analysis support the comparison of design assumptions, envelope solutions, system options and operating scenarios. Results are communicated with their inputs, assumptions and limitations.
Investigate specific performance questions
Depending on the brief, studies may include thermal bridges, overheating, airflow and temperature distribution using CFD, or BIM-to-building-performance-simulation workflows. Each method is selected for the question being investigated and the available information.
Prepare evidence for compliance and assessment
Support with the thermal requirements applicable to the location and project, and with the studies and documentation needed for relevant assessment processes. For Chilean projects, this can include PDA/PPDA thermal requirements, CES (Certificación Edificio Sustentable) and CEV (Calificación Energética de Viviendas), within the professional role and scope confirmed for the assignment.
Typical outputs: a documented model or analysis, comparison of alternatives, technical findings and a report defining assumptions, applicability and next steps. No claim of guaranteed compliance, certification or energy savings.
Applied AI, automation & custom applications
A useful digital solution should reduce a defined source of friction, not add another tool that the team must maintain. Start with the work, the information involved and the controls required; then decide what should be automated and what should remain under professional review.
Find a practical use case
Review repetitive tasks, document workflows and information bottlenecks. Select a manageable implementation with clear boundaries and a way to assess whether it is useful.
Build and integrate the solution
Develop or configure assistants, reporting workflows and applications around the team’s actual process. Define permitted information, review responsibilities and failure handling before relying on the outputs.
Support adoption and evaluate results
Test the solution with representative tasks, document its operation and prepare users to work with it. Maintenance and support are agreed explicitly; they are not implied to be unlimited.
Typical outputs: a scoped use case, a tested workflow or application, operating guidance and a handover appropriate to the team.
Ways to work together
Focused review or study — A defined technical question, documented findings and recommendations for the decision ahead.
Ongoing advisory — Periodic review, coordination and follow-up aligned with the project's information and decision needs.
Implementation and adoption — Processes, configuration and team training for BIM, CDE and applied AI workflows.
Start with the situation
Describe the project or process, the decision that needs support and the information available. The next step is to define the appropriate level of review, analysis or implementation.
