What LPC does

LPC (Llewellyn & Partners Co. Ltd.) is a Hong Kong-headquartered construction-technology firm founded in 2019 as the first BIM innovation start-up of the University of Hong Kong's i5 BIM Research Laboratory and an incubatee of Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP). It sells a unified super-app platform for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Owner-operated (AECO) sector that integrates BIM, AI, Digital Twin, GIS, IoT, and Blockchain technologies. Core products include AutoCDE (an ISO 19650-compliant Common Data Environment), AutoTwin (AI-driven digital twin for whole-lifecycle asset and carbon management), AutoBIM (cloud-based CAD-to-BIM model generation), Autobject (AI-driven RGB-D capture to IFC BIM objects), AutoCarbon (carbon/ESG management), Auto4S (4D-7D BIM), and AEC²hain (a blockchain-based digital AEC ecosystem). LPC holds the first and only complete ISO 19650 certification in APAC across AI, BIM, and Smart Cities, and is one of the first companies globally to receive the BSI Kitemark for BIM Software, with AutoCDE also a CITF Pre-approved Product.

LPC monetizes through a hybrid of SaaS platform access (AutoCDE with a 7-day free trial and undisclosed enterprise pricing), professional services (BIM Project Consulting, Certification Consulting, Platform Development), and recurring BIM Training delivered in collaboration with BSI. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting government and construction/real estate sectors, event-driven thought leadership (keynotes at DCS2025 and RICS Hong Kong), and professional-services-led adoption. Customer segments are vertical-focused: Hong Kong government bodies (Housing Authority, EMSD, ArchSD), AECO enterprises (Paul Y. Engineering, Wanda Group), and real-estate asset managers; named customers and logos include 10 government units and roughly 100 companies, with reported scale metrics of 50+ projects since 2019, 71% cost reduction in standardized workflows, and 20,000+ government buildings managed via AutoTwin. Operating geographies span Hong Kong, Mainland China (Shenzhen, Zhuhai subsidiaries), and since 2024 the UAE/Middle East, with active ASEAN engagement via Malaysia, supported by a wholly-owned three-entity corporate structure.

Direct peers

• Asite: Asite is a Common Data Environment (CDE) platform purpose-built for the built environment and a direct competitor to LPC's AutoCDE. Both target ISO 19650 compliance for AEC projects, offering document and model management for construction and owner-operator clients.
• RIB Software: RIB (now part of Schneider Electric) provides iTWO and other BIM 5D construction platform solutions targeting contractors and project owners globally. RIB is highly comparable to LPC on BIM-driven project and asset management, with a stronger footprint in Europe and MENA.
• Matterport: Matterport provides AI-powered spatial capture and digital twin technology that competes with LPC's Autobject and AutoTwin offerings. Both companies convert real-world capture (RGB-D cameras, lidar) into structured digital models for asset management and AEC workflows.
• OpenSpace: OpenSpace uses AI + 360-degree video capture to automate construction progress tracking and as-built documentation, paralleling LPC's AI-driven BIM object generation and digital twin workflows. Both target AEC enterprises seeking automated, visual progress and asset intelligence.

Broad incumbents

• Bentley Systems: Bentley Systems is a global infrastructure engineering software provider whose iTwin platform and Open Buildings/AssetWise products overlap with LPC's AutoTwin digital twin and asset information management capabilities. Bentley serves a much broader enterprise and infrastructure market than LPC.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk's BIM 360 / ACC platform is the dominant CDE and construction collaboration suite globally and competes head-on with AutoCDE in BIM-centric project delivery. Autodesk's Revit, Navisworks, and the Forma/AEC data platform bracket LPC's AutoBIM and AutoTwin offerings within a much larger product portfolio.
• Trimble: Trimble Connect provides BIM collaboration and CDE functionality for AEC, while Trimble's hardware-software integration (e.g., scanning, layout) parallels LPC's BIM-from-CAD and RGB-D-to-IFC capabilities via Autobject. Trimble operates across construction, geospatial, and agriculture.
• Nemetschek Group: Nemetschek owns Graphisoft (ArchiCAD), Solibri, and Bluebeam — core BIM, model checking, and design collaboration tools used across the AEC industry. Like LPC, Nemetschek emphasizes openBIM / ISO 19650 workflows and serves design, engineering, and construction customers globally.
• Hexagon AB: Hexagon's Geosystems and Asset Lifecycle Intelligence divisions provide reality capture, BIM, and digital-twin solutions that overlap with LPC's AutoTwin digital-twin and Autobject 3D-capture capabilities. Hexagon serves a much broader industrial customer base.
• Procore: Procore is the leading cloud-based construction management platform and overlaps with LPC's project management, document management, and BIM coordination capabilities within AutoCDE. Procore serves general contractors and owners across North America and increasingly EMEA/APAC.
