Clashes, RFIs, and rework rarely come from bad crews—they come from BIM that doesn't hold up in the field. We're a veteran-owned team led by people who've actually run construction jobs: we fix coordination, capture real as-builts with 3D laser scanning, and turn models into estimates you can bid on.
We also build BIM-IQ, our own BIM estimating software—so the tools we hand you come from people who've done the work, not just written the code.

Frequently asked questions
What does a BIM consultant do?
A BIM consultant helps construction teams implement BIM and VDC workflows, manage model coordination, train staff, and extract value from models—including quantities, clash detection, and handover data.
When should we bring in a BIM consultant?
When BIM isn't delivering value, coordination and rework persist, standards are inconsistent, or you're starting BIM and want to set it up correctly from day one.
How accurate is 3D laser scanning for construction?
It depends on the scanner, the control, and the site. We pick the capture method the job needs and state the achieved accuracy on every deliverable, so your team knows exactly what it can build against.
What is BIM-IQ?
BIM-IQ is a BIM estimating software platform developed by Black Forge Technology. Contractors enter discipline quantities and rates; BIM-IQ produces professional, LOD-aware PDF estimates in minutes.
Do you provide a Salesforce implementation team?
Yes. Black Forge assigns a construction-focused Salesforce implementation team—including a project lead, solution architect, integration specialist, and training lead—for new rollouts, remediation of broken Salesforce, and Procore/ACC integrations.
