There are many technical and non-technical components of BIM; and for a reliable, delicious-every-time recipe that will bring you better success, all components of BIM must be addressed and seasoned well. Our chefs can work with you to tackle these components. We have experience in providing:

 01. Support for BIM related requests

We will be your in-house chefs, using our expertise, knowledge and network to fulfill any orders that may be coming through.

02. BIM specification and requirements documents

This is essential for ensuring expectations are met by providing your cooks with clear and intentional information. We will work with you to clearly define the question such that all diners are fed to their complete satisfaction.

03. BIM execution plan

This is the recipe (methodology) for carrying out BIM on a project and contains all the necessary information to collaborate and execute efficiently. We can review existing or devise new project specific BIM execution plans, as well as, help to create base templates for ongoing use in your kitchen. 

04. BIM processes, guidance documents and templates

BIM documentation is essential for consistency, collaboration and higher quality delivery of BIM. We will cook these up and ensure a coherent understanding from all stakeholders is achieved.

05. BIM roles, responsibilities and required skills and competencies

BIM impacts each team member within an organization or project to varying degrees. We will identify and define each role and the fundamental capabilities associated with them to drive collaboration and optimize information flow and output.

06. Hiring support for a BIM team

We can help you to foster a collaborative and capable kitchen brigade (BIM team) who can deliver delectable dishes and adapt to business or technological growth. We will provide assistance for your recruitment drive whether it's identifying roles needed, creating ads, conducting interviews or carrying out reviews.

The BIM Kitchen was initially born out of our passion to provide better quality BIM education that is also very fun! With us, BIM education is like teaching someone to master a complex culinary recipe in a simple and engaging way. We want participants to feel like they have learned some luscious recipes, that are easy enough to follow and will make them run home to start cooking right away! 

01. Key ingredients

Just as a chef might guide you through the entire recipe or focus on specific parts like the seasoning mix or garnish, our BIM education involves guiding through key parts of the BIM execution plan or to take specific subjects within it, like the LOD Matrix or Asset Registry.

02. Cooking techniques

Similar to training someone on standard cooking techniques and specific recipe steps, BIM education includes training on BIM processes and workflows as standard templates and project-specific methodologies.

03. Design & constructibility review

Just as a cooking class might focus on optimizing taste and presentation through careful adjustments and problem-solving, BIM training includes optimization of design & constructibility reviews using a BIM approach (3D model utilization/ clash detection) and issue reporting at different stages of the project.

04. Quality check

Much like conducting taste tests and ensuring the dish meets the restaurant’s standards, BIM education involves conducting audits and quality assurance checks to ensure that models and processes meet required standards and deliverables. This includes reviewing models for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with project specifications.

05. Skills development

Similar to helping a kitchen adapt to a new menu or cooking style, BIM education involves helping organizations manage the transition to BIM methodologies. This includes addressing cultural and organizational changes and ensuring that staff are adequately trained and supported.

06. Team collaboration

Like a head chef facilitating smooth operation in a busy kitchen among chefs, sous chefs, and kitchen staff, BIM education involves guiding the facilitation of coordination and collaboration among various stakeholders (clients, architects, engineers, contractors, etc.). This includes setting up common data environments (CDE) and managing the exchange of information. 

We provide dynamic workshops, interactive presentations and participate in industry events to raise the BIM culture around us. Check out our events page for upcoming stuff!
