Our core values
Rule the First
Set Yer Sails for True Value
The real reason ye resist change, matey, is the business model
yer crew sails under. Be ye earnin' doubloons by creatin’ value for yer client or just sellin’ yer hours like a common deckhand? If it’s the latter, change yer tack! Profit from results, not time—or ye’ll be forever swabbin’ decks.
Rule the Second
BIM Be a Skill, Not a Rank
BIM ain’t a fancy title to hand out like rations—it’s a skill every crew member must master. From the captain to the lowliest swab, BIM be essential to survivin’ on these digital seas. Learn it, live it, or be left ashore.
Rule the Third
No Such Thing as a ‘BIM Project’
There be no such thing as a “BIM project,” ye scurvy dogs! There be only projects where BIM be one o’ the many tools in yer chest. It’s not a type o' job—it’s a way o' doin' things better, arrr!
Rule the Fourth
BIM Starts with the Ship's Course
BIM starts with yer own needs,
savvy?
Clients, figure what treasure ye need at the end o' the voyage -be it fewer risks, better quality, or more doubloons saved.
Planners, ye be there to help navigate and guide decision-makin'.
Builders, speak up—tell us how ye want things simpler, faster, and truer!
Rule the Fifth
Hack Yer Tools, Don’t Let ‘Em Chain Ye
Tools made for drawin' plans ain’t enough, mateys—they be the cause o' inefficiency! Hack 'em for better decision-makin' and to build faster.
Ye need a change o' thinkin'— think like a hacker, work like a master craftsman. Use SketchUp’s ease, Tekla’s precision, and Cadworks’ wood-craftin’ magic as inspiration!
Rule the Sixth
Choose Yer Maps Wisely
2D ain’t the enemy—the fight against it is just a distraction. The first question be: how do ye best get yer message across? The second: how do ye craft this map with the least effort? Ye might need a sketch, a model, a 2D map, or even a comic strip—choose what works best to steer the crew right.
Rule the Seventh
Standardize the Workflow, Not the Form
Don’t believe the lie that every project be unique, matey. While yer ships may change, and the ports ye visit may differ, yer processes and tools can stay the same. Standardize the workflow, not the form—this be the key to consistency and treasure in any storm!
Rule the Eighth
Defend Yer Processes with Grit
When someone messes with yer efficient processes, tell 'em to walk the plank! Don’t model the way the client demands, and don’t be adjustin’ yer well-proven workflows. Just convert yer loot (data) at the end, else ye’ll be bleedin’ doubloons faster than ye can count 'em.
Rule the Ninth
Set Clear Expectations, Not Orders
When ye depend on another’s data, don’t tell ‘em how to work—tell ‘em what ye need delivered.
Set clear expectations, ask only for what they can reasonably provide, and ensure they have a stake in the outcome. Otherwise, ye’ll be buried
in useless crap, matey.
Rule the Tenth
The Code of the BIM Pirate
Support yer fellow pirates, whether they be on yer ship or another. The fight ain't among us—it’s against the establishment that be holdin' us back. Raise yer flags together and fight for better ways, not more models.
