In the construction and architecture industry, access to accurate and editable building data is critical for efficient design, planning, and execution. Yet, many firms still face the challenge of working with static drawings or locked file formats that limit progress.
Bimify, partly owned by Addnode Group, is changing this. The AI-powered platform enables large-scale digitalisation of buildings, helping firms unlock valuable data, streamline workflows, and work more sustainably.
When British architectural practice Corstorphine & Wright inherited a project where the only available documentation was in PDF format, the team faced significant limitations. Without editable models, advancing the design and execution work would be both time-consuming and costly.
To overcome this, Corstorphine & Wright turned to Bimify. Using its AI-driven platform, static PDF drawings were automatically converted into highly detailed, information-rich BIM models.
To test the approach, the practice digitised three out of six buildings with Bimify, while manually converting the remaining three. The outcome was clear: the AI-powered method reduced time and costs by 40%, while also improving model accuracy and reliability. By automating labour-intensive tasks, architects could focus more on the creative and value-adding aspects of their work.
Beyond efficiency, Bimify’s solution supports a more sustainable construction process. With access to accurate and up-to-date building data throughout planning and implementation, firms can reduce material waste, avoid rework, and minimise resource consumption.
By streamlining the digitalisation of buildings, Bimify not only saves time and money but also contributes to a smarter, more environmentally responsible industry.

As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, some of the biggest risks to your organisation might not be obvious. In this month’s IT Bulletin, we shine a light on three critical security concerns that are often underestimated or overlooked entirely. These issues can silently compromise systems, leak data, or be exploited without detection.
The latest updates to Factory Design 2026 bring powerful improvements to connector class creation, workflow efficiency, and overall performance. From a brand-new Connector Class dialogue to enhanced 4K compatibility and stability upgrades, these changes are designed to make your design process faster, smoother, and more intuitive.
Efficiency, accuracy, and innovation are crucial for staying competitive in the industrial landscape of today. Manufacturing and engineering companies face increasing challenges in managing product development, ensuring design accuracy, and optimising workflows. That’s where Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) come into play.
