Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions, yet more than 90% of buildings are not digitalized. Without digital data, renovation, maintenance, and sustainability planning remain inefficient and costly.
As the demand for BIM (Building Information Modeling) digitization grew, Bimify saw an opportunity to create a global solution to digitise buildings at scale using automation.
The challenge was clear:
Convert complex building data into usable BIM models.
Make the process fast, cost-effective, and scalable.
Enable architects, engineers, and building owners to easily create,access, update, and share digital building models.
Solution
Galeyo worked with Bimify to design and build a custom digital platform that simplifies the entire BIM digitization process.
Our contribution included:
Developing a scalable web application powered by React and Node.js.
Creating a robust backend with PostgreSQL to handle diverse input data (CAD, point cloud, PDF, images).
Building features for multiple output formats (Revit, ArchiCAD, IFC) and custom exports for facility management systems.
Designing tools for ongoing access, sharing, and updates, ensuring BIM models stay accurate over time.
Building a clear order progress overview for clients, showing real-time status and delivery dates.
Integrating an instant cost calculator, giving customers immediate price estimates per project.
Introducing a ticketing system to streamline communication, enabling users to report missing files, delays, or adjustments directly through the platform.
Developing an AI-powered search assistant for navigating and querying 3D building models (currently in the final stages of development).
Creating a tool for correction and manual annotation of objects (walls, doors, windows, etc.) on drawings where they are not clearly visible.
Building automated CAD symbol detection services that convert CAD drawings into BIM models.
Covering the entire delivery pipeline, including development, QA, and CI/CD deployment processes.
By automating what used to be slow and manual, Bimify made it possible to digitalize buildings faster, cheaper, and with assured quality.
Impact
Bimify’s solution is now a global leader in the global transition to zero-emission buildings, empowering stakeholders to make data-driven decisions in renovation and maintenance. Key results include:
Truly format-agnostic: The world’s only platform that seamlessly digitalises buildings at scale, regardless of input data type.
Unmatched speed and quality: Achieve building digitalisation up to 90% faster than manual methods - without compromising accuracy.
Transforming the industry: Driving widespread adoption of information-driven operations, maintenance, reconstruction, and refurbishment across architects, engineers, and building owners.
Bimify is not just a platform, but a foundation for sustainable construction and building management in the digital era.
“Galeyo has been a key partner since day one, seamlessly integrating as a natural part of our organisation ensuring consistency and expertise in all our development work. Beyond our core team, their wider knowledge pool accelerates our R&D and helps us navigate challenges efficiently. Their flexibility and expertise makes them an invaluable development partner through every stag. of the company from the sketch, through the first line of code and throughout every growth phase.” Aleksandar Balicevac, CEO at Bimify
Galeyo helped Bimify turn building digitization from a complex process into a fast, automated, and scalable solution - powering the transition to zero-emission buildings.
