Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

As part of the renovation of the glass roof of the library in Nettetal-Breyell, the building was recorded in detail both inside and out over an area of around 2,310 m² using 3D laser scanning and UAV drone flights and then evaluated as a 3D model. The result: a high-precision 3D model, created in the CAD system Revit, which depicts all the building structures as a deformation-compliant interfering edge model. This created an exact digital basis for planning, analysis and renovation measures.
In addition, the client received an interactive point cloud viewer file that combines the point cloud and panoramic images - for a realistic, digital inspection of the building directly on the screen. This solution simplifies communication during the course of the project, improves planning accuracy and ensures maximum transparency - real added value for modern construction projects.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Gross area is 2310 square meters

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

For the realization of a project, we used the services of Dmytro to convert a complex point cloud into a detailed 3D model and precise 2D drawings. The results far exceeded our expectations.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Right from the start, we were impressed by their professional and structured approach. The point cloud was interpreted with great accuracy and the resulting 3D model was true to life down to the smallest detail. Of particular note was the clear communication throughout the process, including regular updates on the progress of the project. All the requirements we defined were meticulously considered and implemented.

The 2D drawings were also of exceptional quality. They were characterized by their precision and clarity, which made further processing and documentation much easier. Another major plus point was the short processing time with consistently high quality.

Are there any areas for improvement or something STAR BIM could have done differently?

no all good

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

StarBIM has been instrumental in our team's continued and successful delivery on numerous projects. Over time, their role has grown to cover a wide range of responsibilities, including, in some cases, taking the lead on structural engineering efforts. Their contributions primarily support our engineering department, assisting throughout all phases of a project’s lifecycle—from early-stage conceptual modeling, to coordination with both internal and external architectural teams, to development of robust structural analysis models using RSA and Dlubal RFEM, and ultimately producing complete, high-LOD Revit models informed by the final design outputs.

As our internal workflows expanded from 2D drafting toward 3D-based delivery, StarBIM also stepped in to support early architectural modeling. Their implementation efforts helped us bridge the gap between legacy documentation practices and integrated 3D workflows, contributing to the development of several architectural models alongside their structural scope.

Their technical proficiency, responsiveness, and ability to integrate seamlessly with our team have made them a trusted extension of our practice. In addition to project-specific tasks, StarBIM has also helped us formalize our CAD-BIM standards and implement internal process improvements that continue to benefit our operations.

We highly recommend StarBIM to any firm seeking a technically capable and dependable structural BIM partner. Their ability to adapt to varied project types and levels of complexity has proven invaluable across our portfolio.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Developed drawings & BIM models were accurate

Permit Set was successfully submitted to the authorities

StarBIM’s involvement has enabled us to advance numerous projects without drawing down our core team’s capacity. Their consistent technical delivery played a key role in securing permits on several filings and ensuring timely closeouts. This reliability has not only supported successful project completions but also contributed to ongoing client satisfaction—resulting in repeat work and longer-term relationships across our portfolio.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

StarBIM has consistently delivered on time. They’ve been very responsive whenever changes or issues came up—we usually communicate through comment trackers, marked-up PDFs, or scheduled meetings, and that’s always worked smoothly. They don’t need much oversight and have grown to understand and work within our workflows, even improving them in some cases. They’ve also flagged problems early and helped work through a few unexpected issues. Overall, communication has been clear and steady, which keeps the work moving without bottlenecks.

What was your primary form of communication with STAR BIM?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most was how adaptable they were. StarBIM started with a focused support role, but over time they’ve taken on more responsibility—including design leadership on some scopes—and handled it well. They’re quick to understand the task, flexible when priorities shift, and have helped us improve our own internal systems along the way. That kind of growth and reliability isn’t easy to find.

Are there any areas for improvement or something STAR BIM could have done differently?

There’s occasionally a bit of ramp-up time when we adjust internal workflows, particularly when newer team members on their side are getting up to speed. But to their credit, StarBIM has always shown a strong ability to adapt quickly and take feedback constructively. They don’t just follow instructions—they try to understand the intent behind the workflow, which helps us align faster the next time around. With each project, that learning curve has gotten shorter, and the collaboration more seamless. Great work!
