Our approach
Simple engagement, clear control, and a quote tailored to your project.
Typical workflow
Six steps, one point of contact.
- 1
Brief
You send a brief or a sample task: scope, standards, templates, deadline.
- 2
Tailored quote
A quote that fits your scope: per drawing, per hour or per work package.
- 3
Templates agreed
We use your templates, layers and naming; the first sheets go to you for approval.
- 4
Production
Modelling, calculation and drawing to your templates, with weekly progress reports.
- 5
Two-step check
Author, then independent checker, before anything leaves our office.
- 6
Delivery
Native files, IFC, DWG and PDF, with an issue log for your comments.
Engagement
Engage us per drawing, per hour or per package.
- Per drawing: priced per sheet by type and complexity, agreed on a sample set.
- Per hour: by discipline and seniority; weekly timesheets.
- Work package: fixed price for a defined scope.
- Dedicated team or overflow: flexible capacity during peaks.
Tailored quote
Every project is quoted individually. Send us a brief and we come back with a proposal that fits your scope and deadline. Sample drawings, calculation notes and BIM models are available on request under NDA.
Communication
- English and French, in writing and in meetings.
- A project lead, a calculation lead and a BIM manager on each project, plus a coordinator for French-speaking clients.
- Weekly progress report and a shared issue log.
- Teams, Trello, SharePoint, ACC or the platform you require.
Quality control
- Two-step check: author, then independent checker.
- Calculation templates and model audits before delivery.
- Traceable comments and revisions; data archived with full history.
- In-house Dynamo and Excel/VBA tools automate repetitive work.
Security and responsibility
We sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving data; access is limited to the project team; files travel through secure channels and are returned or deleted at your request.
Vifatec is responsible for the technical quality of what it delivers and corrects errors within its scope. Responsibility towards the project owner and final sign-off remain with the contracting partner.
