Crystal BIM Solutions Ltd.

While companies in Europe, along with the rest of the world, are facing the pandemic predicament today, back in 2001-ish, they were plagued by a different predicament—the lack of competent, competitive and dedicated IT specialists, ‘at home.’ To this end, Crystal BIM Solutions Ltd. started its journey with the purpose of building and nurturing IT Engineering capabilities. The following years witnessed the company assisting its clients in managing IT complexity, making better use of data and taking informed decisions, ultimately establishing itself as the strategic IT partner to some of the most influential corporations in Europe.

As Crystal BIM Solutions Ltd. offered highly specialized support in different technologies to help customers optimize and integrate their processes, it was only natural for the company to enter the BIM space. “The advanced technologies and clients’ expectations in the BIM environment has created a massive disruption in many fields of activity, and we are building ourselves in such a way as to fully embark and participate in the process,” says Mr. Dorel Gorunescu, GM at Crystal BIM Solutions Ltd. To this end, the company believes that Industry 4.0, Construction 4.0 and Economics 4.0 will drive corporations toward “SMART” and BIM will be an important part of the future Enterprise 4.0.

Mr. Gorunescu mentions that a BIM 3D model is only a digital representation of an existing or future structure that helps designers and builders to have a realistic understanding of that structure, avoiding clashes, improving designs, saving material, time, and cost.

But this is only a marginal advantage offered by the model compared to what it can offer during the life cycle of structures. The related information is massive, and that’s where Crystal BIM Solutions Ltd. can offer its blockchain-enabled cloud services to the clients such that they can store, organize, manage, utilize, and protect it. “For most clients, we have started our collaboration with ERP, IT, and data mining services many years ago and our very good relationship and our reputation as high-quality consultants will help us be convincing that our BIM/digital twin services are as good and necessary,” mentions Mr. Gorunescu.

What differentiates Crystal BIM Solutions Ltd. is the combination of four pillars that the company was built on—talent management, quality-driven, competitiveness, and innovation. On the talent management side, the company periodically organizes training sessions in leading universities in Bucharest, Pitesti, and Galati (Romania), Tirana and Durres (Albania), and Monterrey in Mexico, as well as upcoming partnerships with universities in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and Chernivtsi (Ukraine). Thanks to its courses, students can gain practical knowledge in the most updated technologies, such as BIM, Unity and Construction Project Management. Until now, Crystal BIM Solutions Ltd. has trained since 2002 about 15,000 students free of charge in domains such as ERP, BIM, data science, cloud technologies, AI/ ML etc. and 1,000 more are welcoming registrations for its courses in 2022. “We believe that training resources and then recruiting the best is more efficient than hiring first and then training them. The newly hired employees begin intensive training-on-the-job and become valuable assets to our clients and us within months,” says Mr. Gorunescu

Thanks to its unique talent generation and talent management model, Crystal BIM Solutions Ltd. has succeeded to deliver a very complex BIM project to one of its clients by putting together IT skills, industry skills (architecture as well as civil engineering), dedication, goodwill, and communication skills, something that the company will continue pursuing in the near future. Mr. Gorunescu informs, “As BIM itself is a technology requiring communication between its many players and stakeholders, we intend to make ‘collaboration’ a strong part of our culture and business model.” To this end, Crystal BIM Solutions Ltd. intends to collaborate with its peers to create trends, good practices, big projects, and a better world.
