Our take
The process of BIM (Building Information Modelling) has historically taken form through pen and paper, but today’s digital technology shows room for powerful workflow innovation. Whilst many architectural designers have already migrated to digital design platforms, this typically concerns CAD as opposed to driving innovation in the sustainability, safety, functionality, and profitability of structures.
Kope (originally Matterlab) develops custom digital transformation tools for BIM workflows, combining expertise in architecture, engineering, and construction with advanced computational processes to empower generative building design, optimised design coordination, and BIM strategy and documentation.
Whilst digital BIM tools are nothing new, Kope has taken a unique position in the sector by focusing on a wider scope of data applications in the BIM process. The company also stands out by recognising that the idiosyncrasies of BIM projects require bespoke solutions, developing each tool whilst consulting the client to ensure projects are optimised in terms of cost, efficiency, sustainability, and safety.
