BIM resources
Guides, tools, data and glossary
Everything we publish for people who write information requirements, prepare a tender or run a building, in one place.
These resources come from the projects we work on. The PDF guides answer the questions clients ask us most often (Italy's BIM mandate under D.Lgs. 36/2023, how to request a Scan to BIM quote, how to take a digital twin into operation); the tools do in a minute a first check that would otherwise take a phone call; and the BIM tender observatory uses ANAC open data to measure how many tenders actually fall under the mandate. They are free: guides arrive by email when you subscribe to our Tuesday newsletter, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
