BBBDC

What BBBDC does

BBBDC (legal name B & B Bouw Data Combinatie, trading as BBBDC BIM consultancy & Bouwingenieurs) is a privately held, vendor-independent BIM consultancy headquartered in the ENCI-building in Maastricht, Netherlands. Founded formally in 2012, with origins in CAD operations dating to 1991 and BIM practice since 2004, the firm serves construction companies, architectural and engineering design firms, building owners, facility managers, healthcare organizations, and government entities across the Netherlands and Belgium. Its core offering spans BIM advisory, BIM management, BIM implementation, structural engineering, and as-built documentation, supported by specialized expertise in IFC data processing, model validation, clash detection, and multi-party coordination using tools such as Revit, Navisworks, Solibri, Simplebim, and Trimble Connect.

The firm's technology footprint combines proprietary consultancy methodologies with exclusive Benelux reseller agreements for two Finnish BIM software products: Simplebim (Datacubist Oy), an IFC cleaning, standardization, and enrichment tool, and Navistools (Codemill Oy), a suite of add-ons for Autodesk Navisworks including IFC Exporter, Model Browser, Publisher, Field, IFC Extension, and Pointcloud modules. This combined software-plus-services model allows BBBDC to deliver integrated tooling, training, and process guidance as a single vendor-neutral engagement.

BBBDC monetizes through three primary streams: (1) project-based professional services for BIM consultancy, coordination, implementation, and architectural engineering, typically mid-to-long duration enterprise engagements; (2) subscription-based software resale of Simplebim (€1,250 single-user, €1,950 network rental, custom enterprise) and Navistools licenses; and (3) training services for BIM software tools at Basis, Advanced, and Custom levels. The company employs approximately 5 professionals, relies on direct enterprise sales complemented by the reseller channel, and distributes leads through its website, the BIMmin(g) Limburg networking community, guest lectures at TU/e and Dutch hogescholen, and word-of-mouth referrals from anchor clients such as Klépierre, BAM, Zuyderland, and Jo Coenen & Co.
