SONABIM Information

SONABIM is a French consulting and R&D firm specializing in the digital structuring of complex industrial projects. We work with technical departments, innovation departments, and industrial project owners to help them transform technical data—BIM models, P&ID diagrams, point clouds, sensor data—into a repository that can be leveraged throughout the lifecycle of their assets: from design to operations, all the way through to decommissioning. Our areas of expertise — openBIM consulting and project data governance (ISO 19650, open formats, interoperability) — Collaborative environments and business workflows (Trimble Connect, plug-ins, extensions) — Digital twins for the operation of industrial and hospital assets — Indoor geolocation and equipment tracking (BLE, UWB) — 3D integration, point clouds, and engineering drawings — Training and support for BIM teams Our Approach We believe that the value of an industrial project no longer hinges on the choice of software, but on how data is structured, shared, and utilized—an issue that is at once technical, organizational, and strategic. Our methods are based on ISO standards and open formats to ensure that our clients receive solutions that are under their control, vendor-independent, and sustainable over time. Each project combines hands-on expertise with advanced development, resulting in concrete prototypes that teams can evaluate and provide feedback on. Markets and Clients We support major industrial clients, project owners, and system integrators in France, Europe, and internationally on projects whose complexity requires a tailored approach.
