Where Practical Experience Meets Digital Precision
We’re a Yorkshire-based BIM and CAD specialist supporting contractors, consultants, and design teams across the UK. With over 25 years of hands-on construction experience, we turn complex building services into clear, buildable digital models that make projects run smoother.
The difference with:
- Real Construction Expertise: 25+ years on live projects means we think like installers, not just modellers.
- Buildable, Practical Outputs: Our drawings and models are designed to work in the real world.
- Flexible Support: Scale up resources without the cost of permanent staff.
- Clear, Fast Communication: No jargon, no delays – just responsive, straight answers.
- Trusted by Industry Leaders: Repeat work with respected contractors and consultants across the UK.
Blending Industry Insight with Digital Innovation
BIM Department Ltd was founded by Darren Haigh, who began his career in the construction and M&E sectors more than two decades ago. After years working on live sites and collaborating with engineers, Darren saw a clear need for reliable, external CAD support that truly understood what happens on the ground.
What started as CAD Department Ltd grew quickly as technology and industry standards evolved. As Building Information Modelling (BIM) became the new norm, we adapted too — rebranding as BIM Department Ltd to reflect our forward-thinking, technology-driven approach.
Today, we’re a trusted delivery partner for leading contractors and consultants nationwide — providing technical excellence with the same down-to-earth service that built our reputation.
Professionalism at Every Stage
At BIM Department, we believe great projects are built on trust and precision. Every drawing, every model, and every deadline matters — because our clients rely on us to keep things moving.
Honesty & Integrity
Clear communication, transparent pricing, and no hidden surprises.
Accuracy & Buildability
Practical designs that work on site, not just on screen.
Efficiency & Speed
Delivering accurate outputs, on time, every time.
Reliability & Accountability
When we commit to a deadline, we deliver.
Practical Minds.
Digital Tools.
Real Results.
We’re not just modellers — we’re problem-solvers.
Our team combines deep construction knowledge with the latest digital tools like Revit, Navisworks, and point cloud scanning to deliver coordinated, compliant, and buildable outputs. Whether you need a clash-free BIM model, accurate as-built records, or support with ISO 19650 workflows, our approach keeps things clear, compliant, and simple to manage.
We speak the same language as your engineers and site teams — bridging the gap between design intent and real-world delivery.
