Why should you approach the choice of a contractor responsibly?
If you take the selection of a BIM modeling service provider seriously, you will not only reduce project costs, but also increase its flexibility and quality and expand the range of innovative technologies used. Cooperation with the right company will open up access to a global market of talent and advanced software solutions and will allow you to avoid bottlenecks in internal business processes.

A poorly conducted BIM contractor search can negatively impact your delivery schedule, resource allocation, customer satisfaction, and business reputation. The following tips will help you make the right choice and achieve successful results.

Determining needs
Every BIM model is as unique as the drawing it starts with, so the first step in finding the right contractor is to conduct a thorough project assessment.

Requirements assessment
Finding a contractor will depend on the unique requirements of your project:

Clarify the scale of the project: is it residential or commercial development? Are you building a new facility, renovating or upgrading?
Determine the size and complexity of the project: objects such as high-rise buildings and multifunctional complexes have their own specifics, so special software may be needed to develop their model
It will also be necessary to define the requirements for the provision of services:

Which 3D modeling, clash detection and project management package do you need?
Do you need additional services for developing 3D models of engineering systems, creating a design drawing, conducting an energy analysis, etc.?
Researching potential contractors
Once you have determined the scope and requirements of your project, you can begin researching the market and compiling a list of potential BIM contractors.

Evaluation of experience and expertise
Look for companies with a clear history of working on projects similar to yours in scale and complexity.
But also be sure to study the entire portfolio of the company and pay attention to the diversity of projects and their results. If the company has successfully implemented many different projects, this is a good sign that speaks of its professionalism.
Find out how many years the company has been operating in the construction industry and numeros de telefones make sure that it has worked stably throughout this time and easily adapted to changes in a dynamically developing industry
Another equally important factor is the opinions of previous clients. Success stories and positive reviews will reflect the professionalism of your potential partner and his or her communication skills with clients.
Taking all these factors into account, you will be able to weed out dubious companies that will not be able to provide quality services.


The success of an outsourced task will depend on the transparency and effectiveness of communication channels, as well as how closely your vision of the project results coincides.

Establishing clear channels of communication
Identify a decision maker on each team from the contractor side, as well as people to turn to for problem solving.
Explain to the contractor that in order to increase team efficiency and create a positive atmosphere for collaboration, it is necessary to periodically communicate the status of the project, evaluate its stages and constantly maintain a dialogue with each other.
Compatibility of project management styles
Make sure the contractor you are considering is familiar with your company's project management tools and approaches.
Determine if their values ​​are in line with your business ethics? A common methodology of work can not only eliminate but also minimize any misunderstandings and thus strengthen cooperation
Remember that good relationships can turn a one-time business deal into a long-term partnership.

Quality Assurance and Compliance
The project will be protected from both operational and legal risks through compliance with industry standards and the implementation of robust cybersecurity mechanisms.

Checking certificates and licenses
Before hiring a contractor, check their certifications and licenses, and ensure their work practices comply with industry standards.

Make sure that the company providing the information model development services has a license to use the software and the necessary industry compliance certificates.
Check whether the company's specialists are familiar with current BIM standards, including those established by local legislation or industry regulators
Ensuring data security
Ensure that partners comply with privacy and data processing policies to ensure secure storage and protection of customer data
Entering into a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) will provide additional assurance of the safety of your intellectual property.
