Services
Many owners pay for BIM but receive PDF drawings. Many designers create a model that contractors don't use. Many contractors build from drawings and ask the designer something they could check in the model themselves.
My role is to make sure that doesn't happen — that BIM is used at every phase, from the technical specification to building operation. The services I offer are listed below.
8 services detailed below. Open any one to see what I do at that phase and the value it brings to your project.
1. BIM requirements (EIR)
Phase 1 — Tender / EIR
In Latvia, a typical BIM requirement in a tender specification reads like this: "the project shall be developed in BIM". And that's where it ends.
The reason is simple — the owner didn't know what to ask for.
This is not a training course. This is not a presentation about BIM. These are not generic recommendations.
It is a concrete document — Employer's Information Requirements (EIR) — that can be included in the tender specification, and that designers and contractors can actually work with.
I work with you during the tender specification phase and help formulate requirements that:

2. BIM coordination
Phase 2 — Design
Without BIM coordination, typical problems quickly emerge that later turn into expensive rework and errors during construction:
The reason is simple — there's no one connecting the information together.
It's not a one-time clash detection. It's not a report that no one reads. It's not a formal "BIM coordinator" role with no real impact on the project.
It is a continuous activity throughout the design phase — with a clear BIM Execution Plan (BEP), a managed Common Data Environment (CDE), and repeated checks all the way through to the approval phase.
I'm involved throughout the design phase and create a coordinated, usable BIM model:
Process
How it works
Who this is for
Owners and designers who want coordinated BIM
I work both with owners who hire me independently from the designer, and with design firms that bring me in for coordination. The goal in both cases is the same — quality models that meet the requirements.
I'm an independent party — I work for the project, not for any specific designer.

3. BIM audit
Phase 3 — Approval
The owner pays for BIM, receives the files, and assumes everything is in order. But without an independent review, here's what typically surfaces:
Without an independent review, the owner only finds out about problems when it's already too late.
Not a subjective judgment. Not a report I write based on feelings. Not a personal critique of the designer.
It's a structured review against clear criteria — the Employer's Information Requirements (EIR), ISO 19650 standards, and the BIM Execution Plan (BEP). Each non-conformance is classified by severity — critical, moderate, or cosmetic.
I deliver an objective, documented assessment of BIM model quality and compliance:
Process
How it works
Who this is for
Owners and designers who want an independent assessment
I work both with owners who want to make sure they receive what they asked for, and with design firms that want a self-check before delivery. I review at any point in the project — before approval, during approval, before tendering for construction, or in the case of a dispute.
I'm an independent party — the report is objective, not political.

4. BIM in construction
Phase 4 — Construction
Typical construction management relies on Excel cost estimates, PDF drawings, and manual data transfer. As a result:
A model as a single source of truth eliminates most of these problems.
Not a fancy video showing the building rising floor by floor. Not a marketing visualization.
It's the digital management of the actual construction process — uploading cost estimates to Rixbuild, approving execution, tracking changes, integrating variation orders, and preparing as-built documentation. The BIM model as a single source of truth, not a presentation tool.
I link the model with cost estimates, schedules, and execution data, so construction management is digital, traceable, and free of Excel errors:
Process
How it works
Who this is for
Owners and contractors who want reliable data
I work with owners who want objective control over construction progress and costs, as well as with contractors who want to manage cost estimates, execution, and changes digitally — without Excel errors or manual transfers.
Up until 2019, I built buildings myself — I know what BIM looks like from the contractor's side, not just from the office.

5. As-built (PIM)
Phase 5 — Handover
The owner receives the handover documentation and assumes it reflects reality. In practice, here's what typically happens:
Laser scanning + a PIM model give an objective, measurable basis for everything else.
On-site scanning is done by certified surveyors with professional equipment. That's surveying work — not the job of a BIM specialist.
My work begins after the scanning — I work with the data delivered by the surveyor (point cloud), compare it with the project BIM, update the model to match reality, or create a model from scratch for existing buildings.

6. AIM management
Phase 6 — Operation
The owner takes over the building, receives the PIM model, and drops it in an "Archive" folder. After a year, the model no longer matches reality. After five years, no one opens it anymore. Typical problems:
A BIM model is only valuable if it's kept current — updated, accessible, usable.
If you need specialized facility management software (Planon, Archibus, IBM Maximo, or similar), that's done by CAFM/CMMS specialists — it's not my field.
My work is BIM model and CDE management, document structuring, warranty administration, and integration with cost data from Rixbuild. If you later want to integrate with a CAFM system, the model will be ready to support it.
I work with the BIM model and CDE after handover, so the facility manager and owner can rely on them:
Process
How it works
Who this is for
Owners and facility managers who want BIM to keep working after handover

CDE management
Across all phases — Common Data Environment
A CDE isn't something you set up once and forget. Without ongoing management, it quickly loses order:
A CDE is only valuable if someone is actively managing it.
A Common Data Environment is not just cloud storage with a folder structure. It's a specialized environment with ISO 19650-compliant workflows, version control, status tracking (work in progress, shared, published) and audit trails.
I work with specialized CDE platforms — Trimble Connect, Catenda, Dalux, Rixbuild — depending on project needs.
I manage the CDE as a single source of information for the project — from setup to day-to-day administration:
Process
How it works
Who this is for
Owners who want independent CDE management
I work with owners who have multiple parallel projects, with those who want the CDE managed by an independent party — not the designer or contractor — and with those who simply don't have the in-house competence to manage the environment professionally.
I'm an independent party — my job is order, not the interests of any project participant.

What this is not
Not setting up Google Drive or Dropbox foldersA Common Data Environment is not just cloud storage with a folder structure. It's a specialized environment with ISO 19650-compliant workflows, version control, status tracking (work in progress, shared, published) and audit trails.
I work with specialized CDE platforms — Trimble Connect, Catenda, Dalux, Rixbuild — depending on project needs.
What I do
I keep the CDE organized and accessibleI manage the CDE as a single source of information for the project — from setup to day-to-day administration:
1
Structure and standards
Folder structure, file naming, version control — all to clear standards.

Is your CDE in order?
If files can't be found, versions are chaos, or access permissions have never been reviewed — get in touch. We'll discuss how to bring the CDE back into working mode.

BIM training
Across all phases — The foundation without which nothing else works
Typical situation — there's one BIM specialist on the team who does everything. The rest open the model, take a look, and close it. The result:
BIM doesn't work on its own. A team that understands it does.
Not a slide show with definitions and history. Not an abstract course disconnected from real work. Not a certification exam.
The training is hands-on — we work with real models, real data, and real tasks. Theory only as much as needed to understand what we're doing and why.
I train both teams for specific projects and individual specialists. In person, online, or in a hybrid format:

Why it matters
Without training, BIM stays one person's expertiseTypical situation — there's one BIM specialist on the team who does everything. The rest open the model, take a look, and close it. The result:
Fear of the model
The team doesn't open models because they don't know what to click. Everyone waits for someone else to do it.

BIM investment doesn't pay off
The owner paid for BIM, but the team uses PDF drawings.

Excel again and again

Dependency on one person

1
BIM fundamentals
Opening the model, navigation, reading data, extracting drawings and quantities.

What the team gains
The team is no longer afraid to open models
They learn to work with data, extract quantities, structure information. They see how quickly drawings and quantities can be pulled from the model. They learn to manage cost estimate progress and make changes in the tool, not in Excel. They understand the benefits and start using them every day.
