Who We Are
With unparalleled MEP engineering, BIM automation, and sustainability expertise, our global team delivers tailored on-premise solutions that power construction projects. We are pioneers, pathfinders, and impact creators. We are PortBIM.
Origins & Global Presence
PortBIM began in 2013 in Baku, Azerbaijan, as a focused BIM consultancy and rapidly evolved into a full-service engineering firm. Over the past decade and more, we’ve grown our team to 50+ dedicated professionals and completed over 1000 projects—from large-scale stadiums and hospitals to premier commercial centres and international hotels—while maintaining an agile, client-centric approach. Today, our four strategically located offices in Baku, Amsterdam, Saint Petersburg, and Albuquerque allow us to deliver globally informed yet locally tailored solutions that respect regional codes and project demands.
Core MEP Design & Consulting
Our core competency lies in comprehensive MEP design and consulting. We integrate mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire-protection systems into unified workflows that begin with conceptual planning and extend through construction administration. Early in each engagement, we conduct feasibility studies and high-level load calculations to establish performance targets. Throughout schematic and detailed design phases, we leverage BIM-driven planning tools—performing clash detection, model coordination, and code-compliance checks—to minimize risk and ensure clarity for contractors and stakeholders.
Engineering Excellence
Our in-house specialists perform rigorous simulations and analyses—HVAC load studies, short-circuit calculations, wind and smoke CFD, and complex fluid-dynamics modeling—to optimize system efficiency, safety, and sustainability in line with international standards. By translating these advanced calculations into detailed 3D BIM models and parametric families, we achieve LOD 400 readiness that reduces design costs by up to 80% and cuts error rates by 60%.
Building Information Modeling
Building Information Modeling is not just a tool for us—it’s the backbone of our delivery model. A $500 000 investment in electrical and mechanical BIM templates, supported by 25+ experts and over 300 parametric families, enables automated workflows from 3D modeling and clash resolution to documentation and asset handover. These capabilities accelerate project timelines, enhance facility-management readiness, and support data-driven decision-making throughout the building lifecycle.
Innovation & Automation
Innovation and automation are in our DNA. We develop custom Revit plug-ins, Python and Dynamo scripts, and AI-powered tools to eliminate manual repetition—automating model generation, layout optimization, and compliance verification. Our Design Automation suite taps machine-learning algorithms for predictive maintenance planning and smart parameter control, freeing engineering teams to focus on high-value tasks and strategic design decisions.
Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability guides every design choice we make. As LEED-certified professionals, we integrate green-building standards (LEED, BREEAM, WELL, Estidama) into our MEP solutions—conducting energy and water audits, life-cycle assessments, GHG-emissions reporting, and commissioning services to drive measurable environmental impact. Our green-building projects achieve substantial energy savings, water conservation, and carbon-footprint reduction without compromising occupant comfort or system.
Culture & Collaboration
PortBIM’s culture is defined by collaboration, quality, and continuous improvement. We partner with leading architects, contractors, and owners to co-create resilient, code-compliant infrastructure that stands the test of time. Our on-premise delivery model guarantees full data control and security—vital for clients who require strict information governance .
Future Vision
Looking ahead, we remain committed to expanding our technical capabilities and global reach. By investing in our people, processes, and proprietary tools, we aim to set new benchmarks in efficiency, sustainability, and client satisfaction. PortBIM is more than an engineering consultancy—we are visioneers, shaping the built environment with precision, integrity, and a steadfast dedication to a greener tomorrow.
