Description

We are looking for an experienced BIM/CAD and IFC specialist for a paid 1–3 hour online consultation.

We are preparing a bid for a public-sector project involving 16 architectural renovation solutions for typical apartment buildings. The available materials may include IFC and DWG models, PDFs, drawings and images.

During the consultation, we would like to review our proposed approach and get practical advice from someone who has worked with similar BIM models.
What we would like to discuss
- How to audit and clean IFC and DWG models.
- How to identify and document model-quality issues.
- Which quantities and measurements can be reliably extracted from IFC models.
- How to convert IFC models into web-ready glTF or GLB files.
- Which tools are best suited for conversion and optimisation.
- How realistic it is to reduce each web model to approximately 10 MB.
- Which parts of the process can be automated and which are likely to require manual work.
- The main technical risks we should consider.
After the call, we would like to receive a short written summary of the main recommendations.
Who we are looking for
You should have:
- EU citizenship and the legal right to provide professional services in the EU.
- Current residence or professional establishment in the EU/EEA.
- Recent professional experience with BIM or CAD model preparation.
- Practical experience working with IFC files and 3D models.
- Good spoken and written English.
Experience with the following would be particularly useful:
- IfcOpenShell or IfcConvert.
- Bonsai, Blender, Solibri, Revit, Archicad or Navisworks.
- IFC validation and model cleaning.
- Quantity extraction from BIM models.
- IFC-to-glTF/GLB conversion.
- Polygon reduction and optimisation of materials or textures.
- Web-based BIM or 3D visualisation.
- Renovation projects, façade systems or prefabricated building solutions.
Possible follow-on project
This assignment is initially for a paid 1–3 hour consultation.

If our tender is successful, we expect to need a BIM/CAD specialist for a larger project lasting approximately four months. We would be interested in continuing with the same specialist if the cooperation is a good fit. The follow-on project is not guaranteed and would be agreed separately.

- A short introduction and your current location.
- A summary of your BIM/CAD and IFC experience.

- Your role and responsibilities in that project.

- Any experience converting IFC models to glTF, GLB or another web format.
- Any experience extracting quantities from BIM models.
- A portfolio or anonymised examples, if available.
- Your hourly rate and availability for the consultation.
- Whether you may be available for a four-month follow-on project.
