What IM-PACT does
IM-PACT is a French BIM (Building Information Modeling) consulting firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Lyon, with operational offices in Clermont-Ferrand and Antony (Paris area), and a registered address in Royat. The firm positions itself as a pioneer in the French BIM ecosystem, self-described as 'present since BIM existed' in France, and operates as a member company of the international engineering group TPF (4,000+ collaborators globally, 470 in France) since a 2016 capital entry. IM-PACT delivers an integrated service portfolio spanning 3D laser scanning and BIM modeling of existing assets, BIM strategy consulting and change management, BIM project management and AMO (Assistance à Maîtrise d'Ouvrage) missions, BIM synthesis and clash detection, and a proprietary BI/BIM dashboard product called Sentinelle, which provides custom real-time compliance, progress, and quality-control visualizations built on Power BI and connected to BIM data sources.
The firm's technology stack combines in-house Scan 3D capture capabilities, BIM authoring via Autodesk and Trimble tools, and QA/coordination platforms including SOLIBRI and BIM Collab, layered with the proprietary Sentinelle dashboard layer. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services engagements — BIM consulting, AMO mandates, and 3D scanning/modeling — supplemented by custom Sentinelle implementations, with contracts typically won via direct enterprise sales, public procurement tenders (marchés publics), and consortium partnerships. IM-PACT serves construction-industry actors (architecture firms, engineering offices, contractors, project owners), asset owners and facility managers, and infrastructure operators in sectors including energy (RTE, ENEDIS), aviation (Aéroport de Marseille Provence, EuroAirport Bâle-Mulhouse), healthcare (Centre Hospitalier de Tours), public administration (Ville de Marseille, Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), real estate (Union Investment), and industrial (DANONE), with a cumulative track record of 200+ BIM projects. OPQIBI 1920 and 1922 certifications qualify the firm for AMO BIM and BIM Management mandates, and the firm operates with a small team of 1–10 expert consultants that scales delivery through consortium partnerships (Trimble, CSTB, OMBRE&BIAGI, Marti Ombre & Biagi, Cabinet BLOY) and the TPF-i engineering channel.
