BIM CONSULTING & CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME — Services, Training & Financial Proposal

FGL-BIM-PROP-002, Rev 01 · Solo, part-time, remote consultant · Market: UAE · Currency: AED (ex-VAT) · Validity 45 days

<aside> 🔴

Rev 01 supersedes Rev 00 entirely. Rev 00 priced a full consultancy in USD — $179,255 year-1, BIMC credits at $125/hr, a five-track curriculum and staffed day rates. None of that model is live. Rev 01 is what is actually being sold: one person, part-time, remote, in AED.

1. The offer — three independent lines

Buy what you need. Nothing is bundled.

Line	What it is	Price
A — Setup package	A one-time engagement that produces your BIM standards, templates and start-up guide.	AED 15,000 one-time
B — Support retainer	Ongoing advisory. Three working days a week of availability, all year.	AED 7,000 / month
C — Training modules	36 modules across six tracks. Each staff member attends only the modules their role requires.	From AED 200 / person

The shape of the argument. Most firms are sold a single large programme, pay once, and watch the standards decay within a year. The documents were never the problem — the absence of anyone to defend them was. The setup package is deliberately small and finite; it ends. The retainer is what actually changes the firm: it is the cheapest line here and the one that decides whether the other two were worth buying.

The comparison the finance director will make. A full-time BIM Manager in this market costs upward of AED 200,000 a year, plus recruitment, visa and the risk the person leaves. Setup plus a full year of retainer is AED 99,000 — no hiring risk, no notice period.

2. Setup — AED 15,000, 10 weeks, four work packages

Delivered remotely. Four artefacts, each with a defined acceptance test. When the fourth is signed off, setup is finished and the retainer takes over.

Ref	Work package	When	Fee
WP1	Discovery and current-state audit	Weeks 1–2	AED 3,000
WP2	BIM Execution Plan (BS EN ISO 19650-2)	Weeks 3–6	AED 5,500
WP3	LOIN matrix, CDE rules, naming convention	Weeks 6–8	AED 4,000
WP4	Revit template and project start-up guide	Weeks 9–10	AED 2,500
	Total	10 weeks	AED 15,000

WP1 — Discovery. Interviews by video call; one live project measured (warnings, worksets, naming conformity, view templates); how files move today vs. what ISO 19650 requires; the last three client requirement sets. Delivers a discovery note, a risk register with owners, and a 30-day quick-wins schedule. If Discovery shows the rest of the package is wrong for the firm, we stop and re-scope.
WP2 — BEP. The governing document, written against BS EN ISO 19650-2 and generalised to the practice: purpose and authority, roles mapped to real job titles, BIM uses, collaboration process, the CDE's three states, standard methods and procedures, three-tier QC, and the Accepted / Accepted-with-comments / Rejected gate legend.
WP3 — LOIN, CDE, naming. LOIN to BS EN 17412-1, stating geometry, data and documents separately — this replaces "LOD 300", which means different things to the team, the client and the contractor. CDE folder tree handed over configured. Naming for files, views, sheets and objects, with regex validation patterns and a one-page desk card.
WP4 — Template. Lead discipline only: graphic standards, locked view templates, pinned start view carrying the standards revision, shared parameters, annotation. Plus a start-up guide taking a new project to a coordinates-correct model in five working days.

3. Support — the monthly retainer

Fee	Availability	Term	Notice
AED 7,000 / month	Three working days a week	Rolling, minimum 3 months	One month, either side
