Estimation, quoting, contracts, delivery tracking, document approval. Eight tools, one platform, one database. Built because the alternatives were too slow for how we work.
Every BIM outsourcer faces the same drag: slow estimates, repeated modeling work, contracts and invoices tracked in spreadsheets, payment status no one can see. The standard answer is to add people.
We took the other path. For eight years our R&D team has turned the repetitive parts of BIM delivery into software, owned end to end, sitting on one database. This page is the record of what that produced, and the numbers we can stand behind.
The founding rule arrives with it: model the same thing three times, and we build a tool for it. That single Revit add-in became the seed of a 75+ tool suite.
A central data layer for projects, estimates, and delivery. Polaris becomes the spine that every later tool plugs into.
Locate a project, and BIN pulls the local ordinances, permitting requirements, and building parameters for that site. You see what you can build immediately, without waiting on the building department.
An app that generates a standardized BIM Execution Plan from project answers, removing manual document setup at project start.
Years of scattered add-ins are consolidated into one maintained toolset. BIN is shelved while priorities shift toward the platform.
Standardized estimation in line with TBF project history. The work that took three estimators starts collapsing toward one reviewer.
One platform to house the tools, talk to Polaris, and serve clients directly. Quote Builder is the first client-facing tool to land on it.
Live at tbf-tools.com. Contract Maker and Co-Sign enter development, BEP Creator and the BIM Repository migrate onto Genesis, and BIN is revived.
The remaining standalone tools move onto one platform and one database, with subscription access and AI-assisted estimation on the near horizon.
For years the tools were separate. Genesis is the layer that brings them together: one platform, talking to one database, Polaris, serving both our team and our clients.
It is the difference between owning a drawer of useful tools and running a system. It is also what turns a service company into a platform company, because the same software that runs our delivery can be opened to the clients and the wider BIM community.
Visit tbf-tools.com →Live means in daily use. In development means building. Planned means scoped and queued. We label it straight, because anyone technical will check.
A quick online estimate tool that gives clients an initial project figure, with a customizable question flow on the admin side.
A client portal for tracking project milestones and payments, so status and due dates are visible to the client at any time.
A suite of 75+ add-ins that automate repeated modeling work, built directly from what modelers do every day.
The platform that houses the tools, connects to Polaris, and serves clients and the BIM community directly.
Secure document upload, approval workflow, and e-signature with a full audit trail for compliance.
Standardized estimation and contract generation built on TBF project history, moving three estimators toward one reviewer.
Contract creation, proposals, and invoice milestones for the delivery team, consuming estimate data directly.
Generates a standardized BIM Execution Plan from a project questionnaire, now migrating onto Genesis.
A premium library for BIM files and components, with upload, download, and sharing for Genesis subscribers.
Only metrics we actually measure appear here. Where we do not have hard data, we say what we changed instead of inventing a figure.
Manual estimation took three people. With Estimaster, one reviewer confirms and accepts. Measured as headcount per estimate, not hours.
Two of three estimators come off each estimate. At a loaded US$200 per estimator-day, that is roughly US$400 of labor freed per estimate, redirected into delivery instead of carried as cost.
Model the same thing three times and we build a tool for it. We do not publish an hours-saved figure we cannot verify. The 75+ add-ins are the evidence.
Payment terms are set by the client, so we make no false claim about collecting faster. ProTrack makes milestone status, delay, and payment due visible to the client on demand, so nothing falls off the radar.
No black boxes. The infrastructure behind Genesis is named, current, and built for an audience that asks how things work.
The central database. One source of truth for projects, estimates, contracts, and delivery.
The application layer that houses every tool and connects them to Polaris.
Server based services hosting the platform and its tools.
Protection against external attacks and traffic at the edge.
AI services powering estimation suggestions and query features.
Transactions and the credit system that runs across Genesis.
These are stated as intent, because they are not shipped yet. We separate what runs today from what is coming.
Open the Revit toolset and Genesis tools to outside teams on a subscription, turning internal software into a product line.
The target on the chart above. Drive quote turnaround from hours to minutes through deeper Quote Builder and Estimaster automation.
Machine learning trained on TBF project history to suggest estimates and flag risk, with a human reviewer in the loop.
A premium library where the wider BIM community can buy, share, and contribute components, with Genesis as the storefront.
For Co-Sign, tamper-evident logs on document approvals where compliance demands it. Scoped as an optional feature, not a core promise.
Connecting the tools end to end so an estimate flows into a contract, a delivery plan, and an invoice with less manual handoff.
