Every firm with a BIM practice has a list. Update the Revit template for the 2027 release. Clean up the content library. Write the BIM execution plan template the last two clients asked for. Pilot cloud worksharing. Standardize how the Calgary and Toronto offices set up sheets.
The list rarely gets shorter. Not because the BIM team doesn't know how to do it, but because they spend most of the week keeping live projects running.
That is a capacity problem, and it's the most common one we see.
Templates and standards drift. Each software release and each project adds small exceptions. Two years later, offices and teams model differently and nobody is sure which template is current.
Initiatives stay "next quarter." New workflows, new tools and cloud collaboration rollouts get planned, then pushed when the next deadline arrives.
Client requirements land on the same people. Owner-specific BIM requirements and execution plans add work to a team that was already full.
The BIM manager has no one to test ideas with. In a lean practice, big decisions get made alone and under pressure.
The obvious fix is another BIM resource. Sometimes that's right. Often the workload is real but uneven — heavy for a few months around a template overhaul or a new client requirement, lighter afterwards. It doesn't justify a full-time role, and a new hire takes months to find and onboard.
What most BIM teams need is reliable, expert capacity on a predictable schedule, working alongside the people who already own BIM.
SolidCAD's BIM Management Foundation Pack is built for exactly this. It is not a replacement for your BIM manager and not a one-time implementation. It is a recurring block of expert time that works with your team on the priorities you set, in three-month terms.
The firms that get the most from recurring support answer a few questions first:
SolidCAD is an Autodesk Platinum Partner with hands-on AEC and BIM experience across architecture, engineering, construction and owner organizations in Canada. As part of Symetri, we bring a wider network of AEC technology expertise. The Foundation Pack gives you access to that experience on a cadence your team can plan around. For firms that need a longer engagement, our BIM management services are typically structured as twelve-month or longer contracts.
Yes — that's who it's designed for. It adds capacity and a second perspective so stalled work moves forward.
No. Your team keeps ownership. A SolidCAD consultant works alongside them on agreed priorities.
Template and standards updates, content libraries, BIM execution plans, workflow improvements and new technology rollouts.
Larger, fixed-scope work such as a full implementation is scoped separately.
Pull up your BIM backlog and pick the item that has been waiting longest. That's a good place to start the conversation.
