Foundation Packs
BIM Management Foundation Pack
Add Experienced BIM Management to Your Team, from Half a Day a Week
The BIM Management Foundation Pack gives your BIM team or BIM manager flexible, expert support. A SolidCAD BIM consultant works alongside your team every week to deliver short-term BIM initiatives, improve standards and workflows, and mentor your people, with priorities you can adjust month by month.
What Is the BIM Management Foundation Pack?
The BIM Management Foundation Pack is a monthly BIM management service that complements your existing BIM team or BIM manager. SolidCAD’s technical consultants work with your organization on a regular schedule to help deliver BIM initiatives, reach key objectives and provide ongoing mentorship and strategic guidance.
Like every SolidCAD Foundation Pack, it comes with a clear scope and a fixed monthly price, so you know exactly what support you’ll get. Need a broader, long-term engagement? See our BIM Management services.

Every month, you decide where your consultant’s time goes. Typical priorities include:
Standards and workflows

- Improve modeling, coordination and documentation workflows
- Support project-specific BIM requirements from clients and partners
Technology, people and strategy
- Plan and implement new technologies across your BIM environment
- Mentor your BIM manager, BIM coordinators and project teams
- Provide strategic guidance as business needs and priorities change
