What BIM4U LTD. does

BIM4U LTD. (legal entity BIM4 Limited) is a UK-based software vendor established in 2021 and headquartered in Farnborough, Hampshire. The company develops a small suite of BIM-based asset data and document management applications aimed at the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management (AEC/FM) sector. Its primary product, the COBie Data Updater, is a mobile-first Power App that allows construction and facilities management teams to collect, update, and export comprehensive manufacturer, model, serial, and warranty information for built assets in a COBie-compliant Excel format that aligns with ISO-19650 and BS-1192-4 standards. The app is built natively on Microsoft Power Platform, connects directly to SharePoint for storage with two-factor authentication, and integrates with Microsoft Power BI for progress dashboards. Companion tools — COBie Asset Manager (for organizing and bulk-editing asset data prior to CAFM upload) and Mobile Document Manager (for attaching O&M documents to assets) — were added in December 2021, along with a Mixed Reality 3D visualization feature added in October 2021.

BIM4U monetizes exclusively through recurring SaaS subscriptions sold on a per-user-pack basis via self-serve Recurly checkout: a £40/month 5-User Pack targeted at SMEs and a £140/month 20-User Pack for larger firms, with an optional one-time £100 SharePoint List setup fee. A 30-day "try before you buy" free trial and a Microsoft AppSource marketplace listing underpin a product-led growth motion. Target buyers include main contractors, facilities managers, and the lower-tier subcontractor/supplier base that the company positions itself against "feature-bloated" incumbent AEC applications. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no disclosed headcount, and no disclosed revenue. Its sole material commercial relationship is with Microsoft as a build-on and distribution platform partner; the COBie Data Updater received Microsoft certification on 13 October 2021.
