About Us

About us

BIM Technologies was founded in 2011 in response to a growing demand for digital support for building owners and developers.

The team was spun out of SPACE Architects, a national architectural practice established in the North East of England over 60 years ago. The practice had invested in Building Information Modelling for a number of years and identified a need for a specialist digital consultancy across the built environment.

Early clients came from the private sector followed by the public sector after the launch of the UK Government’s BIM mandate in 2011.

Over the past 10 years, our team has grown in numbers and expertise. We have supported many clients to improve project outcomes by reducing risk and increasing predictability. In recent years we have used the data collected to optimise building performance whilst reducing operational cost and improving user experience.

Meet the team

Rob Charlton
CEO

Rob co-founded BIM Technologies in 2011 after identifying how digital workflows could help construction sector outputs to be more predictable through efficient processes. An architect by profession, Rob was aware of the challenges facing the sector. He is passionate about improving how buildings are designed, built and operated.

Following the Grendell disaster, Rob has tracked the development of the Building Safety Bill and how BIM can help to deliver change. As the sector becomes more aware of the cost of buildings in operation, he is researching how operational costs and Carbon can be reduced.

Rob provides a strategic overview of the business ensuring that BIM Technologies are at the forefront of an evolving sector.

Adam Ward
Director

Adam was one of the co-founders of BIM Technologies. He trained and worked as an architectural technician with a particular interest in 3D modelling long before the term BIM was used. He has a particular aptitude to understanding software and how it can be used to address a wide range of challenges in design. He has unique skills, one of which includes understanding buildings through his years of experiences as an architectural technologist, alongside expert knowledge of software and coding.

With these skills, Adam has been instrumental in developing the applications used by the BIM Technologies team such as Warboard and Twinview. Adam focuses on the development of new technologies to support the team in their project delivery.

Ben Malone
Director

Ben joined the BIM Technologies team in 2012 after returning from Denmark where he had studied and worked. As a trained architectural technologist, Ben understands how buildings are put together as well as being an expert in a breadth of software platforms. He works closely with client and design teams, bringing them together to improve the predictability of project delivery.

Over the past 8 years, he has worked across many successful and complex projects, often supporting clients across multiple schemes. He specialises in the implementation of Digital Twins in operational buildings, connecting models, data and assets.

He manages the BIM Technologies team day-to-day, reviewing projects and ensuring we are continually improving outcomes for our clients.
