THE client
YouBIM is a pioneer in extending Building Information Modeling (BIM) beyond design and construction into facilities management. Founded by BIM industry veterans, their vision was to transform static models into dynamic tools that support facility operations.
But there was a challenge: while YouBIM had deep BIM expertise, developing and scaling a robust software platform required an entirely different skill set. Their initial in-house development efforts exposed gaps in software engineering, team scaling, and product delivery.
In 2022, YouBIM partnered with Matech Studios. Over two years, Matech Studios became their dedicated technology partner—owning the software roadmap, providing leadership, and scaling their engineering team. Together, they delivered a market-ready, scalable product integrated with industry leaders like Autodesk and IBM Maximo.
This case study shows how YouBIM was able to focus on growing its business while Matech Studios ensured their software platform evolved into a best-in-class solution.
THE challenge
Expertise in BIM, Not Software Development
YouBIM’s leadership excelled in BIM services but lacked experience building scalable software products. Their in-house development struggled with hiring, engineering best practices, and scaling to meet product demands.
Fragmented Development Teams
Working with a combination of in-house staff, third-party providers, and Matech engineers caused coordination issues. Communication silos slowed development and made quality control difficult.
Focus Was Split Between Business and Technology
Leadership needed to focus on customer growth and expanding BIM services. Managing the tech side was a distraction and stretched their resources thin.
Scaling to Retain and Grow Customers
With a growing user base, YouBIM had to scale its product quickly, deliver regular updates, and ensure seamless integrations with platforms like Autodesk and IBM Maximo to stay competitive.
