TOBiE Start a project
About · Prague, Czechia

A small studio, built around one frustration.

Models get better every year. The decisions behind them still live in email, in meetings and in people's heads. ZERO.BIM exists to close that gap - with automation where it helps, and with our own tools where nothing suitable exists.

How the company is built

Two eyes, one direction

ZERO.BIM does two things, and they feed each other. Neither would be as good on its own.

First eye

Services

The client work: automation, scan-to-BIM, plug-in development, coordination and visualization. It is where we meet the problem in its real form, on real projects, with real deadlines.

It tells us what is worth building.

Second eye

Products

The tools we build ourselves - the Scan-to-BIM plug-in, 0.Agent, Family Viewer - and, above all, TOBiE. Built once, used everywhere, independent of any single project.

It makes the services faster than they could otherwise be.

Our flagship product

We founded TOBiE. It is the second eye - looking further than any single client project ever could.

The problem does not fit inside one project

A typical delivery team runs somewhere between eight and twelve disconnected applications. Every boundary between them is a place where information is translated, and every translation is a place where something is lost. We spent years working around that gap one client at a time, and it became obvious the gap itself was the thing worth attacking.

TOBiE is that attempt. A browser-native environment for open BIM: nothing to install, no proprietary format holding your data hostage, IFC as the native language rather than an export option. Authoring, viewing, clash detection, validation, coordination, digital twin and XR - in one place, all speaking the same standards.

It is under active development with a dedicated engineering team, and it is where a great deal of our thinking ends up. The services pay for the present. TOBiE is the argument about the future.

Browser-native

Nothing to install

No workstation requirement, no licence server, no version drift between team members.

Open standards

IFC first, not IFC last

IFC 4.3, ISO 19650, IDS and BCF are the working format, not something bolted on at export.

One environment

The whole stack

Authoring through to operations, so information never crosses a vendor boundary to stay useful.

Status

In active development

Built by a dedicated team, with modules shipping progressively rather than in one release.

How we work

Direct, and small on purpose

No account layer

You talk to the people building it

Nobody stands between the person who scoped your work and the person who does it. Questions get answered by someone who knows the answer.

Written down

Assumptions are recorded, not remembered

Every model we deliver carries a note of what was assumed and where confidence was low. It is the same principle the whole company is built on.

Fixed entry

You can start small

The workflow audit exists so nobody has to commit to a project to find out whether we are useful.

Ownership

The work is yours

Source code, scripts and documentation are handed over. Nothing we build for you depends on us still being around.
