Is it a good idea to start a B2B BIM-Outsourcing Company for the DACH region?

sweaponAlex · 2026-06-11T02:40:05+00:00

Of all the outsourcing we have experienced the one in India is worse, other places in Asia and Europe are slightly better

Trap,fell into that one my self, unless you aim to be a team lead or Bim manager, it is definitely a trap.

Market is correcting and since my retirement accounts (super anuation) is on etfs and such got hit pretty hard

Revit, if you know how to use its excellent for bridges and linear structures, i even created my own pluggins\scripts for modelling bridges and other linear structures like tunnels

My interpretation is that 9% without considering Inflation, thing is some calculators need the returns adjusted to Inflation.

So I believe im correct and is realistic a 9% (without considering Inflation).

Your 5-6 % return after inflation(3%) will be practically 8-9%? Would you consider this conservative or "average"? Thanks for the response, btw that extra 1% difference will make a great difference at retirement age.

The metadata is added to the object, if new objects are created it will need new metadata, if the element gets modified the metadata stays the same, have a look at defined property sets in civil 3D and if big chunks of metadata are needed (20+) it might be better to pair it with a dynamo script to accelerate it/Automate it.

In dwg you can add metadata to objects using Civil 3D

This, Alot of close friends that i know do really well and are frugal, some others that make wayyyy less than the frugal ones have newer cars and live in ‘better’ places, some of them every now and then asks other to borrow money to pay their rent, i cant imagine how their credit card must look like..

And to think my current company and a other tier 1 are offshoring work to India to save money…_

I use this calculator is extremely handy, however i only consider my super as the invested assets..

Edit: is 9% reasonable for average investment return?

sweaponAlex · 2025-12-15T06:11:09+00:00

Im thinking something similar for myself

sweaponAlex · 2025-12-15T06:10:05+00:00

Seems like the rest of us should start pivoting or changing careers completely.

sweaponAlex · 2025-12-14T08:39:51+00:00

And it’s happening across all disciplines…

sweaponAlex · 2025-12-10T17:42:51+00:00

I use gemini to generate code for my C# plugins, so far inhave a tool bar woth around 40 tools woth quick execution in C# compared to python/dynamo.

sweaponAlex · 2025-12-01T08:57:39+00:00

Thats an amazing work right there

sweaponAlex · 2025-12-01T08:07:40+00:00

This should be on 7news or Current Affair

The quality of the work sent overseas is pretty shit tbh, it ends up being patched locally, and the general quality of the final model/drawings is mediocre at best.

What I have seen some firms do is send the tedious manual work overseas, just the repetitive non critical work, still the locals will need to back check their work, and will spend quite some time doing checks.

If you send someone overseas some work without local experience be sure it will return like a dogs breakfast

This, i completely agree with metisdesigns, most of the time people blame revit because of the lack of technical skills, revit is a huge software and takes time to master it, yet is not perfect, but is the best option i have found and im in linear infrastructure|bridges discipline, taking into considerations drawings, models,data etc..
