Tools
Automation accelerates repetitive work.
Engineering judgment stays in control.
TEBIN develops automation tools and AI-assisted workflows that help project teams work faster, reduce errors, and keep BIM, calculations, documentation, and reporting consistent across complex building projects. We automate the process — but engineering expertise keeps the output technically correct.
02 — Why automation matters
Manual engineering
workflows do not scale
Large projects create thousands of repetitive actions: model checks, parameter reviews, schedule updates, drawing registers, quantity exports, issue reports, and document comparisons. When done manually, the result is slow delivery, inconsistent data, and too much time on work that should be automated.
- Repetitive BIM tasks become consistent and traceable
- Model and parameter checks can be run regularly, not only before deadlines
- Quantity and schedule data can be extracted in structured formats
- Reports can be generated from live project data
- AI can support document review, comparison, classification, and summarisation
- Engineers remain responsible for technical logic and final validation
03 — What we automate
Automation for real
engineering workflows
Revit Automation
Dynamo scripts, Revit API tools, model processing, element placement, annotation support, view and sheet workflows, schedule generation, and repetitive modelling operations.
BIM Quality Checks
Automated checks for naming conventions, parameter completeness, classification, model structure, information requirements, discipline rules, and ISO 19650 data consistency.
Quantity Extraction & BOQ
Structured quantity takeoff from BIM models for cost planning, tender support, procurement packages, and design-stage comparison.
Calculation Workflows
Scripted workflows for lighting checks, cable sizing, load schedules, HVAC loads, equipment selection tables, and calculation data preparation.
Drawing Registers & Transmittals
Automated drawing register updates, revision control, issue sheets, transmittal preparation, and synchronisation with CDE-based document workflows.
Project Reporting Dashboards
Automated progress reports, model completeness dashboards, issue trend summaries, discipline status reports, and delivery control views.
Platform & Data Integrations
Structured data exchange between BIM tools, CDE platforms, project management systems, spreadsheets, and reporting tools.
AI-Assisted Engineering Workflows
AI-supported document analysis, compliance checks, specification review, tender comparison, meeting note structuring, and technical data extraction — always reviewed by engineers.
04 — TEBIN difference
Built by engineers,
not only by developers.
Engineering automation fails when it is developed without understanding the project context. A script can be fast and still produce the wrong result if the logic does not match engineering reality. TEBIN combines software development, BIM expertise, and multidisciplinary engineering knowledge.
"Automation is useful only when the logic is technically correct."
- We understand BIM models as engineering data, not only geometry
- We know how deliverables are produced, checked, revised, and issued
- We can connect automation with ISO 19650, CDE workflows, and model quality control
- We understand mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil, structural, architectural, fire safety, ICT, BMS, and coordination requirements
- We build tools around real project constraints, not generic software assumptions
- We validate outputs with engineering judgment before recommending use
05 — Typical use cases
Where automation creates immediate value
Model quality control before issue
Run automated checks before model submission to identify missing parameters, naming errors, classification gaps, and information requirement issues.
Repetitive Revit production tasks
Automate routine modelling, annotation, sheet preparation, schedule generation, view creation, and element data processing.
BOQ and quantity extraction
Extract structured quantities from BIM models for cost planning, tender packages, and procurement workflows.
Drawing and document control support
Synchronise drawing lists, revision data, transmittals, issue sheets, and document metadata with CDE-based workflows.
Design review and issue reporting
Generate issue summaries, model completeness reports, clash trend reports, and design status dashboards from coordination data.
Calculation data preparation
Prepare and process input data for engineering calculations, reduce manual spreadsheet handling, and connect model data with calculation workflows.
AI-assisted document review
Compare documents, extract requirements, review specifications, classify comments, and summarise technical information — always reviewed by engineers before use.
06 — From repetitive task to working tool
Four steps to practical automation
Identify the task
We identify the repetitive or error-prone process: who performs it, how often it runs, what input data is used, and where mistakes typically appear.
Define the engineering logic
We define the rules behind the automation: model standards, naming conventions, required parameters, calculation assumptions, output formats, and acceptance criteria.
Develop and test
We build the tool using real project data and test it against edge cases, discipline requirements, and expected project outputs.
Deploy and improve
We integrate the tool into the project workflow, prepare usage guidance, and update it when standards, models, or project requirements evolve.
07 — Example: automated BIM quality check
A typical automation script — simplified
Instead of manually reviewing hundreds of model elements, a script checks naming conventions, required parameters, discipline rules, and exports a structured issue report. The logic below is a conceptual illustration.
# TEBIN BIM Quality Check — model_qc_check.py
# Checks naming conventions, parameter completeness, and zone assignments
import revit_api as rvt
from tebin_tools import qc_reporter, iso19650
def run_model_check(doc, discipline_code):
report = qc_reporter.Report(doc.title)
# 1. Check naming conventions
elements = rvt.get_all_elements(doc)
for el in elements:
if not iso19650.validate_name(el.name, discipline_code):
report.add_issue("NAMING", el.id)
# 2. Check required parameters
required = iso19650.get_required_params(discipline_code)
for el in elements:
missing = [p for p in required if not el.get_param(p)]
if missing:
report.add_issue("PARAMS", el.id)
report.export("outputs/qc_report.xlsx")
return report
In real projects, the logic is adapted to the client's BIM requirements, project BEP, naming convention, model structure, discipline scope, and required output format.
08 — AI for engineering
AI-assisted workflows
with engineering validation
AI can accelerate document review, requirement extraction, reporting, comment classification, and preparation of structured project information. But AI should not replace engineering responsibility. In technical projects, output must be checked against real design intent, standards, calculations, interfaces, and project constraints. TEBIN integrates AI where it helps — and keeps engineers responsible for the logic, validation, and final decision.
09 — Why TEBIN
How we think about engineering automation
Thousands of manual checks updates, and exports become inconsistent — automation makes them controlled
Not only by developers — BIM models understood as engineering data, not just geometry
One script run 200 times produces 200 identical outputs — manual work does not
Accelerates repetitive tasks but cannot replace the engineering responsibility that keeps output correct
Built around how your team works — not adapted from generic software assumptions
We validate outputs against real design intent, standards, and project constraints before use

11 — What automation is not
Automation supports engineering.
It does not remove engineering responsibility.
Automation is not a shortcut around engineering checks. It is a way to make repeatable work faster, more consistent, and easier to control. Every tool must be based on correct assumptions, project-specific rules, and validated input data.
