Overview
What is BIM Modeling?
BIM modeling outsourcing involves delegating the creation, coordination, and management of Building Information Models to trained technicians working remotely. Treba's BIM modelers in Nairobi produce architectural, structural, and MEP models in Revit, ArchiCAD, and Tekla to UK standards — BS 1192 and ISO 19650 — working inside your project environment via secure VDI so no files leave your infrastructure.
Typical client
UK architecture practices, structural engineering firms, and MEP consultancies that need additional BIM capacity for project peaks without the 3–6 month recruitment cycle for qualified modelers

The challenge
Why UK companies struggle with bim modeling.
The UK construction sector has a well-documented BIM skills shortage. RIBA and CIOB surveys consistently report that practices struggle to hire experienced Revit modelers, with vacancy-to-fill times averaging 3–4 months for qualified candidates. Meanwhile, projects don't wait — planning deadlines, RIBA Stage 3 submissions, and contractor tenders all run on fixed timelines. The result: your senior architects and engineers spend 30–40% of their time on production modeling instead of design development. UK BIM modelers cost £42,000–£55,000 loaded, and the ones worth hiring get poached within 18 months. Agency temps cost £250–£400/day with inconsistent quality. You need reliable, standards-compliant modeling capacity that scales with your project pipeline, not your recruitment luck.
