about us
why ottobim?
Before founding ottobim, we spent years in the architecture and design industry, often encountering low-quality BIM content that hindered our projects. The provided models were frequently unusable, requiring significant time to rebuild, which led us to specify products from manufacturers with better BIM content. Recognizing the need for higher standards, we established ottobim to bridge the gap between manufacturers and designers. Leveraging our design experience, we create manufacturer content that meets the needs of architecture and design professionals.
Today, a BIM model is often a client's first exposure to a product. Therefore, ensuring the model accurately represents the physical product is crucial for product specification and sales. At Ottobim, we deliver BIM content with a level of quality that surpasses the industry standard. We are committed to increasing specification rates for manufacturers while providing the high-quality content that architecture and design professionals desperately need for successful projects.
