JidokaBIM builds custom automation for engineering consultancies (structural, MEP, civil and infrastructure): automated model checks before every submittal, Revit plug-ins that produce sheets, views and tags in batch with your office standards, two-way sync between calculation results and model parameters, and Civil 3D and IFC 4.3 workflows for bridges, roads and rail.
Automate the repetitive half of the job, so your engineers spend their hours on engineering.
QA / QC
Automated model checks before every submittal
Naming (ISO 19650), mandatory parameters, fire ratings, classification and units, checked in minutes with a report your client can read.
Your BIM execution plan becomes a set of executable rules: file and element naming against ISO 19650, mandatory properties per class, allowed values, classification codes and units. The checker runs on IFC or inside Revit and produces a BCF or Excel report that points to every failing element.
Your own rule sets
BCF / Excel reports
Runs on every revision
Documentation
Drawing production at scale
Revit plug-ins that create sheets, views, dimensions and tags in batch, with your office standards built in instead of living in a PDF.
Revit API plug-ins (C# / .NET) that create views from templates, place them on sheets, tag and dimension them and export PDF / DWG sets with your naming, so a drawing set that took days of clicking is produced in minutes and always follows the office standard.
Sheets & views in batch
Office standards enforced
One-click exports
Calculation
Calculations and model in sync
Push results from structural, MEP or energy calculations back into model parameters, and flag the elements that changed since the last run.
Results from calculation software, Excel or an API (section sizes, flows, loads, energy values) are written back to model parameters by GUID or by rules, with a change log that highlights the elements affected since the last run.
Two-way parameter sync
Change tracking
Excel & API sources
Infrastructure
Civil 3D and IFC 4.3 automation
Alignments, corridors, bridges and earthworks: automate the model, extract quantities and deliver IFC 4.3 that opens everywhere.
Civil 3D and AutoCAD automation for alignments, corridors and earthworks, plus IFC 4.3 tools for bridges, roads and rail: property enrichment, quantity extraction and validation of the IFC before it reaches the client.

How it works
From a one-hour call to a tool your team uses
01
Discovery call
One hour, free: the manual step, its inputs and what “done” looks like.
02
Fixed-price spec
Scope, architecture, timeline and price in writing, in 2–5 days.
03
Weekly demos
Working software every week, tested on your real models.
04
Handover
Deployment, documentation, source code and 30 days of support.
FAQ
Questions from engineering firms
Can model checks follow our own BIM execution plan?
+
Yes. The rules are written from your BEP and EIR: naming conventions, mandatory parameters per class, allowed values, classification and units. They run on IFC or directly in Revit and produce BCF or Excel reports.
Do you develop Revit plug-ins for engineering offices?
+
Yes. Revit API plug-ins in C# / .NET for drawing production, parameter management, exports and checks, with installers and support for several Revit versions.
Do you work with IFC 4.3 for infrastructure?
+
Yes. The JidokaBIM IFC viewer already opens IFC 4.3 bridges, roads and rail models, and custom tools can enrich, check and extract quantities from them. Civil 3D automation is also available.
How long does a first automation take?
+
A focused first tool, such as an automated pre-submittal check or a sheet generator, usually takes 2–4 weeks from the fixed-price specification to a working version.
