We’ve always been on the front line, where BIM HAPPENS - not just in theories and discussions but in the daily grind of project challenges.

In our “shamanic” project, we share insights, tricks, and automations. We won’t be preaching what BIM should be - we’ll show you what it is and how much you can squeeze out of it, right here and now.

Time and again, we’ve watched so-called “one true” and “only right” solutions collapse when confronted with real-world challenges - the daily struggles of designers, engineers, and clients. That’s why we don’t claim to have the ultimate answer or convince anyone that our approach is the most revolutionary or the best in the world. But we do know that it works - we’ve tested it on the front lines, where “correct” plans often lose to reality of civil engineering.

Experimentation is a daily practice in BIM, and we’re never afraid to re-think an approach. We’ll also allow ourselves a bit of complaining and a few jokes, because we want to show that we enjoy what we do — solving the challenges that cross our path, always remembering that the final product of our digital work is something real and tangible.

What brought us together was a results-driven mindset - skipping the marketing fluff and taking a straight engineering path to the goal. While the high priests of this or that tool, data exchange format, or standard preached their superiority, we - with shamanic determination, were busy finishing yet another project. A tool remains just a tool until it’s used properly, and a healthy dose of skepticism toward the promises of its features is always recommended.

In the end of the day, more important than being dark or light magic expert, is being expert in delivering working solution.

And here we are…

The best solutions are born from interdisciplinary thinking. I’m probably interested in too many things, but I truly believe that ‘specialization is for insects.’

All my experience has shown me one thing: WE NEED MORE AUTOMATION. Instead of waiting for software vendors to solve my problems, I took matters into my own hands — I learned how to program and started publishing tools that help architects and engineers around the world. They also support my own work as an architect, leaving me more time for the creative side of the profession.

To be honest, I’m too lazy for boring and repetitive tasks. I can’t stand doing the same thing many times if I can automate it. Yes, I may have spent hours coding just to skip a 10-minute task. No regrets, still more benefits, taking into account scale effect.

For me, automation isn’t just a technical solution — it’s what gives me the freedom to focus on more important tasks. It also make me curtain the process works under control and has a great synergy with openBIM workflows.

I’m an enthusiast of the BIM concept itself - a major step forward for transparency and process discipline in the work of engineers and designers. I consider it the best starting point we currently have for digitalization in the civil industry.

I focus on eliminating information overproduction, ensuring data reliability with clear presentation, and maximization of reuse produced data across the widest possible range of use cases.

As an automation advocate, I see automation as a tool that prevents common human errors. I have permanently integrated visual programming, simple scripting, and regular QA checks into daily workflows. Standardization? It is the foundation that allows these solutions to work effectively, to be scalable, and to feed AI, opening new possibilities.
