Bimdata.Io

What Bimdata.Io does

BIMData.io SARL is a French software company founded in 2015, headquartered in the Lyon metropolitan area (Saint Didier au Mont d'Or), that provides Open BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology to architecture, engineering, construction, and infrastructure organizations. Its platform centers on three products: the BIMData API (a REST API exposing Model, BCF 2.1, Collaboration, Webhook, and SSO sub-APIs with multi-format file support covering IFC 2x3 to 4.3, DWG, DXF, PDF, point clouds, and 2D plans, with 3D output via glTF), the BIMData Viewer (a multi-format, multi-window 3D viewer capable of loading tens of thousands of objects simultaneously), and the BIMData Platform (a collaborative Common Data Environment that supports document management, digital validation/visa, version control, and rights management, released as open source under GNU LGPL v3). Supplementary modules include BIMChecker for automated model quality control, BIM Information Manager for extended property editing, BIMData Connect for unified SSO, and a Design System plus SDK for custom plugin development. The platform supports both SaaS (hosted on OVH in Gravelines, France) and on-premise deployment, and integrates with Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft Archicad, Microsoft Power BI, Salesforce, bSDD, Veolys, Qb7, SamFM by Planon, Visiativ, Intent Technologies, Novamap, Giro3D, and a marketplace including BIM Object and BIM & Co libraries.

BIMData monetizes through three streams: annual or multi-year SaaS subscriptions for cloud access to the API, Viewer, and Platform; on-premise enterprise licenses targeting data-sovereign clients; and additional paid services for support, training, and custom development. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via purchase orders and quotes through a hybrid go-to-market combining self-serve developer signup (connect.bimdata.io), enterprise field sales with Calendly demo booking, and an open-source GitHub distribution for the Platform. The company states 800+ customers and 105,000+ users, with named enterprise logos including EDF, Schneider Electric, SOCOTEC, SIXENSE, THINKPROJECT, ESSET, NEXITY, INOLYA, ARTELIA, DOMOFRANCE, LA POSTE IMMOBILIER, BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION, Rexel, Foncia, and Vinci. It operates as a privately held SARL, appears bootstrapped with no external funding rounds disclosed, and is led by co-founder and CEO Stanislas Limouzi and CTO Hugo Duroux.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription (Cloud): Annual or multi-year subscription for cloud-based access to the BIMData API, Viewer, and Collaborative Platform. Clients are charged per the commercial offer on the purchase order. Available tiers include API access, Viewer integration, and the collaborative platform.
2. On-Premise License: On-premise deployment on client's internal servers, offering full data control, unlimited storage, and on-demand updates. This is a separate commercial offering from the SaaS subscription, typically sold as an enterprise license.
3. Additional Services (Support, Training, Custom Development): Technical support, training, and custom development services are offered as optional paid add-ons under separate contracts, supplementing the core SaaS and On-Premise offerings.

Core offering

BIMData.io provides an Open BIM technology platform consisting of three core products: BIMData API (a REST API for integrating BIM and CAD data into third-party applications), BIMData Viewer (a high-performance multi-format 2D/3D viewer supporting IFC, DWG, DXF, PDF, point clouds, and 360° photos), and BIMData Platform (a collaborative Common Data Environment for document management, validation workflows, and version control). The platform supports SaaS and on-premise deployment and is used by software publishers, IT departments, and AEC professionals to centralize building and infrastructure data.

Product overview

BIMData.Io is a French SaaS company providing an Open BIM technology platform consisting of three core products: BIMData API (a RESTful API for integrating BIM data into custom applications), BIMData Viewer (a high-performance multi-format 3D viewer supporting IFC, DWG, point clouds, and 2D plans), and BIMData Platform (an open-source collaborative workspace for BIM project management featuring document management, digital validation, and version control). The ecosystem includes supplementary modules BIMChecker (for model quality/standards validation), BIM Information Manager (for extended model data editing), BIMData Connect (for unified authentication/SSO), and developer tools (SDK and Design System). The platform supports both cloud/SaaS deployment and on-premise installation, and integrates with major BIM software (Revit, Archicad), business tools (Power BI, Salesforce), and facility management solutions (Veolys, Qb7, SamFM by Planon).

Products and services

• BIMData API A comprehensive REST API enabling developers and software publishers to centralize, connect, and visualize BIM and CAD data within their own applications. Supports IFC 2x3–4.3, DWG, DXF, PDF, point clouds (LAS, LAZ, PLY, XYZ, E57), plan images, glTF geometry output, BCF 2.1, webhooks, and SSO via OpenID Connect / SAMLv2.
• BIMData Viewer A high-performance multi-format 2D/3D viewer that loads and manipulates tens of thousands of objects simultaneously across IFC, DWG, DXF, PDF, point clouds, 2D plans, and 360° photos. Supports a multi-window workspace and custom plugin development via SDK and Design System.
• BIMData Platform A collaborative Common Data Environment (CDE) integrating electronic document management (GED), digital validation (visa), version control with full history, and access rights management. Integrates with Revit, Archicad, and Power BI and is available as open-source under GNU LGPL v3.

Direct peers

• Dalux: Dalux provides BIM-based collaboration, field management and FM tools (Dalux Box, Dalux Field, Dalux FM) with multi-format IFC viewing — a direct peer in the European BIM viewer and CDE category, particularly for facility management handoff.
• thinkproject (now Doxel / formerly Novata): thinkproject offers a Common Data Environment and BIM collaboration platform for construction and infrastructure projects, overlapping directly with BIMData Platform. (Note: BIMData lists thinkproject as both a customer/integration partner and a competitor in the CDE space.)
• ACCA Software (usBIM): ACCA Software's usBIM platform provides an IFC-based collaborative BIM environment with viewers, CDE and open-format interoperability, directly competing with BIMData's platform and viewer for European AEC users.
• Bimsync (Catenda): Catenda's Bimsync is an Open BIM collaboration platform with IFC model viewing, BCF-based issue management and an API — a direct peer to BIMData Platform, especially in the buildingSMART-aligned Norwegian/Nordic market.

Emerging players

• 3D Repo: 3D Repo provides a cloud-based BIM coordination platform with diff-based model comparison and issue tracking, competing with BIMData Platform in the AEC collaboration space with a focus on model versioning and clash workflows.
• OpenSpace: OpenSpace combines 360° reality capture with AI-driven progress tracking and BIM integration, overlapping with BIMData's 360° photo support and visual documentation capabilities while pursuing an AI-led construction monitoring wedge.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk (BIM 360 / Forma / APS): Autodesk offers Autodesk Docs/BIM 360, Forma, and the Autodesk Platform Services (APS, formerly Forge) — a comprehensive suite for BIM collaboration, viewing, and integration. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps directly with BIMData's viewer, CDE and API offerings, but bundles them inside a much wider AEC portfolio including Revit authoring.
• Bentley Systems (iTwin Platform): Bentley's iTwin Platform provides infrastructure-grade digital twin and BIM collaboration capabilities, with APIs for ingesting IFC, point clouds and reality data. It competes with BIMData in the BIM data exchange and viewer layer, especially for infrastructure owners, while serving a broader engineering portfolio.
• Nemetschek Group (Solibri, Bluebeam, Allplan): Nemetschek's brands — particularly Solibri (model checking/coordination) and Bluebeam (markup/collaboration) — overlap with BIMData's BIMChecker quality control and collaborative platform. Nemetschek also owns Graphisoft Archicad, a core BIM authoring tool that BIMData integrates with.
• Trimble Connect: Trimble Connect is a Common Data Environment for construction and BIM collaboration, integrated with Trimble's hardware and software ecosystem (Tekla, SketchUp). It directly competes with BIMData Platform in CDE functionality while leveraging Trimble's broader AEC distribution.
