Jan Sigrist – BIM Specialist, Lecturer, and Founder of Bimatic
From Foundation to Automation
Since May 2025, I have been working as an independent BIM specialist with Bimatic GmbH. My approach: From surveying through BIM to IoT integration – a holistic view of digital transformation in infrastructure construction.
What sets me apart: 14+ years of experience from surveying to BIM automation. The combination of practical project experience at Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group and academic expertise as a guest lecturer at FHNW. I know the challenges of daily project work and develop solutions that really work.
Core competencies: AI integration (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI), IfcOpenShell, Blender with Bonsai, Python, Dynamo, Autodesk Civil 3D, Revit, Solibri, NavisWorks – from open-source to enterprise solutions, enhanced by cutting-edge AI technology.
AI-optimized workflows with Anthropic Claude and OpenAI. Custom bot development, prompt engineering, LLM-assisted script generation for BIM processes.
IfcOpenShell, Blender, Solibri, Revit, Civil 3D, InfraWorks, NavisWorks. Specialization in infrastructure, civil, and building engineering.
Python, VBA, Dynamo, Blender. Development of customized scripts and workflows to increase efficiency in planning processes.
14+ years of experience in surveying, GPS, UAV, OpenGeodata. Solid foundation from surveying to 3D modeling.
Project experience at Rhomberg Sersa, teaching at FHNW, professional Hexagon partner for Cyclone3DR and Leica Geosystems.
Started as an independent BIM specialist focusing on infrastructure projects, automation, and AI integration.
Intensive work with AI-optimized scripts and workflows. Deep knowledge in Anthropic Claude and OpenAI. Development of custom bots for BIM automation.
Teaching at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (Olten, Solothurn) in the areas of BIM, project management, and digital transformation in construction.
BIM modeling for infrastructure projects at a leading railway infrastructure company. Hands-on experience in large-scale projects.
Certificate of Advanced Studies in GeoBIM - Specialization in the integration of geoinformation and Building Information Modeling.
10+ years of experience as a geomatics engineer and Principal 3D Draftsman Surveying. Solid foundation in surveying and 3D modeling.
BIM is more than software operation. It's about the entire process: From precise surveying through BIM modeling to integration with IoT data for digital twins. I guide you through the entire digitalization process.
Solutions must work in daily project operations. Through my experience at Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group and AFRY, I know the challenges in large projects: time pressure, capacity bottlenecks, complex requirements. My solutions are field-tested and directly implementable.
Repetitive tasks tie up valuable capacity. With AI-optimized workflows (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI) and custom Dynamo, Python and Blender scripts, I intelligently automate processes. Custom bots generate code, optimize workflows, and create space for the truly important planning tasks. This saves time, reduces errors, and exponentially increases productivity.
As a lecturer at FHNW, knowledge sharing is important to me. I offer not only services but also training and workshops – so your team can work independently and benefit from BIM competence in the long term.
Professional technology partner for Cyclone3DR and Leica Geosystems solutions in reality capture and point cloud processing.
Teaching at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland in BIM and digital transformation in construction.
Since 2022 BIM Modeler at a leading railway infrastructure company. Hands-on experience in large infrastructure projects.
Testimonial and reference for successful BIM implementation and automation projects.
Whether project support, training, or complete solution – together we'll find the right path for your BIM transformation.
