What BIMobject does
BIMobject AB is a Swedish-headquartered (Helsingborg) publicly listed software company operating a cloud-based Building Information Modeling (BIM) content marketplace that connects building product manufacturers with architects, engineers, and construction professionals. Its core platform hosts the largest curated library of manufacturer-specific BIM objects across roughly 24 product categories — furniture, sanitary, doors, lighting, kitchen, HVAC, electrical, and others — delivered as native downloads for the major BIM authoring tools (Revit, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, MicroStation, Rhino), with a free sign-up tier for design professionals and paid subscription services for manufacturers publishing content.
The platform is extended by the Design App for Revit, a free desktop plugin providing one-click BIM family loading, 2GB of cloud storage for Revit content, and embedded embodied-carbon life-cycle assessment (LCA A1-A3) data, and by Prodikt, a wholly-owned subsidiary that maintains, quality-assures, and shares Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and climate data with the building materials trade through GS1's standardized hub (over 150 suppliers sharing data).
BIMobject operates a product-led growth model: design professionals access free content self-serve, while manufacturers pay recurring subscription fees to publish and manage their product content, reach design professionals globally, and participate in the annual BIMobject Awards program. Customers include ABB, Roca, Velux, Gealan, Fritz Hansen, Duravit, Kohler, Fisher & Paykel, Forms+Surfaces, and others, with 100 of the world's top 100 architectural firms reported as platform users. The company has pursued growth through acquisitions of complementary BIM content platforms (The BIM Hub in 2018, Convergo and Polantis in 2019) and a $27.3M funding round from EQT Ventures in 2018, and is listed on NASDAQ under the ticker BIM.

BIMobject competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- NBS Source: UK-based manufacturer BIM object library integrated with NBS specification tools; competes directly with BIMobject in curating and distributing manufacturer-verified BIM content to design professionals.
- BIMsmith: Cloud-based platform offering free downloadable Revit families and manufacturer BIM content for AEC professionals, overlapping closely with BIMobject's core marketplace and freemium model.
- ARCOM: Owner of MasterSpec and SpecLink, now extending into manufacturer BIM/spec content following its acquisition of BIMsmith; competes with BIMobject on the manufacturer-to-architect content distribution layer.
Broad incumbents
- Autodesk: Owner of Revit and Autodesk Library, the dominant BIM authoring platform whose ecosystem BIMobject distributes into; represents both the primary distribution channel and the largest competitive threat if Autodesk expands native content.
- Bentley Systems: Provider of OpenBuildings and infrastructure-focused BIM/CDE platforms; overlaps with BIMobject in serving AEC manufacturers and design firms but at broader portfolio scale.
- Trimble: Owner of SketchUp and Tekla with a wide AEC/BIM portfolio; competes as a broader incumbent in design-to-construction workflows that include manufacturer content distribution.
- Graphisoft: ArchiCAD developer within the Nemetschek Group; one of the primary authoring platforms BIMobject supports, and a potential competitor if it expands native manufacturer content libraries.
Regional players
- ALLPLAN: European (DACH-focused) BIM/AEC platform with manufacturer content and component libraries; competes with BIMobject in the European mid-market but with a more regional footprint.
Emerging players
- Speckle: Open-source data platform for AEC interoperability that competes with proprietary BIM content pipelines; could disintermediate part of BIMobject's value proposition as open BIM data standards mature.
- One Click LCA: SaaS for embodied carbon and LCA calculations in construction; competes with BIMobject's Prodikt sustainability offering on the EPD/LCA workflow side rather than the BIM content side.
