Engineering firms, BIM/VDC firms and architecture practices deliver models and data that matter. DBABIM extends that value past handover by structuring the data for operations, as a complement to your work and not a replacement for it.
This page walks through how a collaboration with DBABIM works in practice, step by step, and how we work alongside your team throughout. It is written for the professionals who design, coordinate and model the project, and who know better than anyone what its data contains and how it was produced.
A design or BIM coordination mandate produces a significant amount of data, often without the end client having the means or the mandate to turn it into an operations tool. That’s not your role, and it’s usually not in your contract scope.
DBABIM works alongside engineering firms, BIM/VDC firms and architecture practices, not in competition with them. Where your mandate ends at delivery, we pick up to structure the data toward operations: maintenance log, reserve fund, CAPEX planning, through DBAssets. This applies across the institutional sectors we serve together: education, municipal, healthcare, government, and complex infrastructure.
Referring a client to DBABIM, or building DBAssets into your own mandate, extends the value of your delivery without adding load to your team. DBA Experts-Conseils has worked with Quebec’s institutional network since 1994, with an ISO-certified BIM team that plugs directly into your modelling and field survey processes.
If one of your clients needs the data from your BIM delivery to serve operations too, you have two options: connect us with the client, or build DBAssets directly into your deliverable. Either way, any outreach happens in coordination with you, and we take it from there on structuring the operational data.
Have a client whose project deserves a next step after handover? Let's talk.
No. Our role is to complement your mandate, not bypass it. Any outreach happens in coordination with you, as a referral, not parallel prospecting.
You connect us with the client, or build DBAssets directly into your BIM deliverable. We take it from there on structuring the operational data.
Referral terms are discussed case by case depending on the nature of the collaboration. Contact us to talk through it directly.
We work in the same standard formats your team already uses: Revit, Navisworks and ACC, which makes integration straightforward without duplicating work.
