BIM Internal Standards and Onboarding System: How KGC Ensures Quality from Day One

2025.11.10

The construction industry is rapidly digitalizing, with design processes increasingly driven by precise data management and automation. At KG Constructions Group, this transformation is part of everyday work — by delivering complex façade projects, the company actively applies BIM methodology and parametric design to achieve higher efficiency, sustainability, and quality.

To ensure consistency and control at every stage, KGC has implemented a clear onboarding and internal BIM standards system. New members of the BIM design team spend their first week with a mentor, the second week completing a simplified BIM project task, and by the third week they begin working on a real project alongside a more experienced colleague. Afterward, they transition to independent work, already familiar with KGC’s methodology and standards.

“Our goal is for every new employee to understand from day one how the BIM culture functions within the company and how each step contributes to the overall result,”
says Julius Zykus, Head of the BIM Department.

Since there are often several ways to complete the same task — not all equally effective — KGC has developed a system of internal BIM standards based on best project practices and company experience. These standards cover file structures, model naming conventions, data management, quality control, and task execution guidelines, ensuring all projects are carried out with the same level of precision and professionalism.

“As a BIM manager, I encourage every team member to contribute to writing and improving our standards. The current BIM standards were created by the entire team — it’s a shared effort built on practical experience and everyday challenges,”
adds J. Zykus.

A key part of this system is the BIM model acceptance process, which allows projects to be reviewed and approved according to defined standards. This helps identify errors early, ensures data accuracy, and reduces risks in later project stages. Since every project is unique, the BIM standards are constantly evolving — whenever a more efficient process is identified, it’s immediately adjusted.

At KGC, BIM is seen not just as a design tool but as a collaboration platform, connecting architects, engineers, production, and installation teams. This approach enables full value chain integration — from concept and design to manufacturing and installation. The data generated within the model is used at every stage, reducing the risk of errors and enabling faster, data-driven decision-making.

The company also places strong emphasis on developing young specialists — KGC actively involves students and junior designers, providing opportunities to work with real BIM processes. This environment encourages creativity, critical thinking, and technological curiosity — qualities essential for developing tomorrow’s engineering solutions.

“For us, engaging young specialists is not only an investment in the future but also a source of new energy. They see the world differently — and we give them the space to turn that perspective into practice,”
notes J. Zykus.

As algorithmic modeling processes continue to advance, KGC is constantly looking for additional talent — offering great opportunities for people to contribute ideas, optimize workflows, and help drive company development.

At KGC, BIM culture is nurtured from day one — through clear standards, mentorship, open collaboration, and technological experimentation. This ensures every project is not only technically precise but also reflects the company’s mission — to create reliable, innovative, and high-quality façade solutions.

KGC offers various career opportunities within its design department — from structural engineer, building calculations engineer, and algorithmic design engineer to design team leader positions.
