What bim.GROUP does

bim.GROUP (legal name: BIM Design Kft., doing business as bim.GROUP since 2021) is a Hungarian independent multi-disciplinary design and engineering services firm headquartered in Budapest with additional offices in Kecskemét and Szeged. Founded around 2002 by designers from KÉSZ Group and operating with a team of 100+ professionals, the firm delivers integrated services across six disciplines: Architecture, Structural Engineering (concrete and steel), Building Envelope, Building Services (MEP), Building Electricity, and BIM Innovation. The company functions as an independent strategic partner of KÉSZ Group, Hungary's largest construction conglomerate, while operating on its own P&L. In 2021, bim.GROUP reported revenue of approximately HUF 3 billion (~EUR 9 million), 1.5x the 2020 figure, alongside a 25% increase in headcount.

The firm's technology stack is built on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and parametric design methodologies. Core capabilities include BIM 5D cost estimation (based on DIN 276 / AVA / TERC-ÖN cost frameworks), BIM 4D construction scheduling, Digital Twin solutions using laser scanning and point cloud, BIM Expert management compliant with ISO 19650, and parametric scripting in Rhino-Grasshopper and Revit-Dynamo. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, BSI BIM audit certification, BSI Kitemark certification, and a Dun & Bradstreet 'A' quality certificate. Reference projects span flagship works including Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (six international awards), Puskás Stadium (over 12,000 tonnes of steel), the National Athletics Stadium (roof structure with BuroHappold), Kistefos Museum / 'The Twist' (facade cladding), Jedlik Ányos Gymnasium, and the Australian Rozelle Interchange (2024 ASI National Steel Excellence Award winner).

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements, packaged as SMART (fast-track concept and permit), OPTIMUM (full lifecycle), Design and Build, and Localization (for international firms requiring Hungarian permit compliance). BIM Innovation offerings (BIM 5D, BIM 4D, Digital Twin, BIM Expert) are sold as add-on modules. Clients span enterprise segments including automotive (BYD, Daimler), consumer goods and retail (P&G, LEGO, dm), transportation and infrastructure (BuroHappold, John Holland CPB, Studio Chris Fox, Open Steel Ltd., TSS Engineering), and cultural/arts (Kistefos Museum). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise engagement with strategic partnerships for international markets (DACH, Scandinavia, Serbia, Romania, Norway, India, Australia), supported by conference participation (BIM World Munich, IDEA Conference) and academic engagement at Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The firm pursues geographic expansion as a specialist design partner rather than prime contractor, with an HEPA Hungarian Export Development Agency grant funding DACH and Scandinavian market entry.
