Simplebim TRAININGBIM DATA EXPERTS
We don't train people on Simplebim. We train professionals able to turn an IFC model into a genuine business database serving design, construction and building operation.
WE DON'T TRAIN PEOPLE ON Simplebim.
WE TRAIN BIM DATA EXPERTS.
BIM models today generate millions of data points. Yet on most projects this information stays under-exploited for lack of proper methods to control, structure and transform it.
At CADatWORK Learning, Simplebim is not the end goal. It is a formidable accelerator that unlocks the full potential of IFC files — turning a digital model into a genuine business database.
Paths
A programme calibrated on your real usage, after a prior audit of your production environment.
01Prior audit
Analysis of your team's actual level, working methods and objectives to build a tailored programme.
02In-house & tailored
Personalised programme on your real projects, internal standards and client/contractor requirements.
03Funding
Professional training schemes that may be mobilised depending on your situation.
Formats
Onsite, remote or blended: the training content stays identical whatever the chosen format.
01On your premises
In-house training on your workstations, with your templates and projects for immediate transfer.
02Remote
Videoconference sessions with interactive materials, guided exercises and individual follow-up.
03Blended
A path combining onsite and remote — immersion, autonomy and controlled cost.
EDIT, MAKE RELIABLE AND INDUSTRIALISE YOUR IFC FILES
From getting started to setting up company Simplebim templates, our paths cover all BIM Manager and coordinator use cases.
1/ Getting started — Interface, navigating an IFC model, structuring by types and properties.
2/ Cleaning & lightening — Removing what's superfluous, geometric filtering, lightening for coordination and operation.
3/ PSet & classifications — Adding, mapping and harmonising IFC properties according to a naming convention or project charter.
4/ Simplebim templates — Building reusable editing templates from project to project.
5/ Quality controls — Automatic checks, non-conformance reports, iteration loop with producers.
6/ OpenBIM workflow — Integrating Simplebim into a Revit / Archicad / Solibri / BIM Office chain.
TRAINING BUILT AROUND YOUR PROFESSIONAL NEEDS
We adapt our paths to your activity. Six major professional families, six distinct approaches to BIM data.
Design & engineering
01Architects
Improve IFC deliverable quality, prepare exchanges with engineering firms, control properties and optimise Archicad and Revit exports.
02Engineering firms
Verify received information, standardise data, prepare trade calculations and improve interoperability between software.
03Quantity surveyors
Produce reliable take-offs, prepare data for costing software, automate quantities and control classifications.
Delivery & operation
01BIM Managers & Client Reps
Control model compliance, apply BIM protocols, verify EIR and BEP, industrialise OpenBIM workflows.
02Construction companies
Prepare execution data, make quantities reliable, prepare digital as-builts and simplify exchanges between partners.
03Facility managers
Prepare operational data, enrich equipment, structure information for asset platforms and maintenance.

A four-step teaching progression, modelled on the real BIM data cycle in production.
- 01Understand
Read and analyse the full structure of IFC data: entities, properties, classifications, hierarchies.
- 02Control
Identify errors, inconsistencies and missing information in the received model.
- 03Transform
Clean, enrich and restructure data to make it usable by each recipient.
- 04Automate
Create reusable processes and recipes for all your future projects.

LEARN AS IN PRODUCTION
Our training reproduces how a real BIM project actually works. You leave with reproducible methods from day one back at the office.
Read & control the data
01IFC structure
Understand the full structure of an IFC file: entities, hierarchies, properties, classifications.
02Anomaly detection
Identify errors, inconsistencies and missing information in a received model.
03Automatic enrichment
Add and harmonise object properties according to your business rules.
Industrialise & deliver
01Business rules
Create your own control and transformation rules, adapted to your conventions.
02Reusable recipes
Build templates and automated processes, applicable across all your projects.
03Targeted deliverables
Prepare models adapted to each recipient: client, quantity surveyor, contractor, operator.
AT THE END OF YOUR PATH
Seven concrete results, measurable on your projects as soon as you're back at the office.
You master the structure of IFC files and know how to read a model at data level.
You durably improve the quality of your BIM deliverables and those of your partners.
You save considerable time on data processing, from filtering to enrichment.
You automate your processes with reusable Simplebim recipes.
You make OpenBIM exchanges reliable between all project stakeholders.
You produce data directly usable by your business partners.
You develop a genuine BIM Data Management strategy within your organisation.
THE REAL POTENTIAL OF YOUR IFC FILES
An IFC model is never immediately usable. Simplebim turns it into a reliable, harmonised database directly usable by your partners.
Read and understand the full structure of an IFC file: entities, PSet, classifications, hierarchies.
Remove unnecessary data, filter geometry, lighten deliverables for coordination and operation.
Automatically add and harmonise properties according to your project conventions and classifications.
Check the quality of information, detect anomalies and inconsistencies, produce compliance reports.
Adapt data for quantity surveyors, contractors, operators — each recipient gets a calibrated model.
Create reusable Simplebim recipes from project to project and industrialise repetitive processing.
YOUR TRAINER IS YOUR TECHNICAL PARTNER
CADatWORK Learning also supports its clients in production, well after the initial training.
Full diagnosis of your IFC models: structure, properties, classifications, compliance with conventions.
Structuring, governance and exploitation strategy for BIM data across your projects.
Building decision-support dashboards powered by your IFC models.
Design and industrialisation of multi-software OpenBIM production chains.
Outsourcing the preparation and tailored enrichment of your IFC data.
Client-side BIM assistance and BIM Management assignments, consistent with the methods taught.
