At BIMBox we’re passionate about sharing our vision of how digital transformation can help organisations achieve their objectives and positively solve the design, build and estates management obstacles of today.

We communicate BIM differently at BIMBox, less concerned about the acronyms and more about the advances it can bring in replacing cost and risk with value and opportunity. Our clients successfully apply digital construction and BIM to create in more sophisticated ways and unlock the potential of their buildings and estates.

Our love of collaboration drives everything we do and expands the way we work to support, build and deliver unmatched value to our clients.

Chris Crookes is our Managing Director at BIMBox.

His passion for digital construction and delivering clarity in communication see him consistently deliver opportunity and value to projects. Chris has led Information Management on innovative developments including The Catalyst at Newcastle University, Meridian Water Station in London and The Spine at the Knowledge Quarter in Liverpool.

Chris’s key areas of focus include working with organisations to increase their organisational resilience, futureproof workstreams and supporting them to deliver projects more effectively through the effectiveness of clearly defined digital strategies.

Chris regularly supports the BIM employment sector, providing thought leadership to DBE Careers, as well as guest speaking at panels. Recent DBE Careers pieces have included the “top 5 tips for those looking to build a career in Digital Construction and BIM” and “the great BIM salary debate”.

At BIMBox, we want to help you develop your career in BIM and play an active role in the digital transformation of the built environment.

We pride ourselves on supporting and building a dedicated team that come from varied backgrounds within the construction industry.

BIMBox collaborates daily across a wide range of disciplines, sectors and geographies through varying project types. Exposure to multiple companies and a array of approaches provides you with the opportunity to be cognisant to the best methods and to learn and improve through hands-on experience.

BIMBox ensures all staff are recognised and rewarded for their work and seeks to empower those looking to grow in BIM through providing a perfect environment to develop ever-improving technical, specialist and software skills – as well as the grounded skills in communication, adaptability, flexibility and team work – to deliver long-term career value.

We invest time into our staff’s careers and professional development.

There is a large scope for career progression within BIMBox and development paths are not capped by any conventional routes. Our people and teams grow alongside the business and can move forward, undertake new challenges and get the most out of their careers through regular advancements.

BIMBox’s professional development focuses on helping our employees build a life-long, successful career in BIM. With a constantly evolving landscape within digital construction, our training and development focuses upon specialist software skills, as well as soft skills, in areas including communication, presentation and teamwork.

The construction industry and the BIM discipline in particular is experiencing rapid change and evolution – and no one comes into BIM knowing it all. Knowledge-sharing is constant and training and support is provided on the job in a supportive and constructive environment.

Internally, our Directors provide regular team and lessons learned session to share knowledge from any new project or industry update to ensure continuous improvement. External opportunities for training are also considered to ensure maximum value is provided to employees.

Our policy towards wellbeing for our staff focuses upon four core areas: professional development, social connection, physical health and mental health.

Social connectedness, and feeling supported, is a key aspect of what makes BIMBox team unique. We enable this in a number of ways – through a social office, recognising achievements and organising regular events. When remote working, we arrange check-ins to ensure everyone is feeling connected, supported and positive.

For physical and mental health, BIMBox provides gym membership to all our staff within our office and sees that time can be taken to use gym facilities as part of a healthy regime. We also offer the Cycle to Work scheme for all staff.

Our welfare facilities for staff within our office are second-to-none, including soundproofed quiet zones for our team, as well as a garden roof terrace available throughout the day with fast Wi-Fi, to allow work in the outdoors when desired.
