01
Access
Senior digital engineering support without a recruitment process or another full-time role to manage.
Fractional BIM / Digital Engineering Leadership
Senior digital engineering capability, without the full-time hire.
LMDE helps construction and building services teams access experienced BIM leadership, digital delivery support, workflow improvement, and automation capability through a predictable monthly retainer.
The capability gap
A senior hire can be premature. The capability still matters.
Small and medium contractors are taking on increasingly complex projects. They may already have capable drafters and coordinators, while senior BIM systems leadership remains expensive, difficult to recruit, or hard to justify as permanent headcount.
LMDE provides experienced guidance at a known monthly cost, so the team can strengthen delivery before the business is ready for a full-time Digital Engineering Lead.
The hidden cost of going without
01
Capability bottlenecked through a few key people
02
Recurring coordination friction
03
Inconsistent project workflows
04
Manual work that keeps returning
05
Overloaded delivery teams
06
Standards that live in people’s heads
Why fractional?
Senior capability, retained for the fraction your business actually needs.
Growing contractors often need stronger BIM and digital engineering leadership before a full-time senior role makes commercial sense. LMDE adds that capability through a structured monthly arrangement.
02
Predictability
A known monthly cost, agreed availability, and clear expectations around retained support.
03
Flexibility
Scale support as project workload, deadlines, and internal capability change.
What you get
Structured senior support your team can actually use each month.
Retained capacity is focused through a monthly priority review, so support follows the projects, workflows, and technical issues that matter most.
Fractional BIM / Digital Engineering Lead
BIM workflow review and improvement
Project setup and standards guidance
Technical escalation support
Revit / ACC / Revizto workflow support
Model coordination and delivery support
Team capability uplift
Automation opportunity identification
Monthly priority review
Separately scoped automation and tooling projects
Services
Retained leadership for the ongoing work. Fixed-scope projects for the tools worth building.
Fractional leadership and delivery systems sit inside the monthly relationship. Larger automation, plugin, and AI workflow projects are quoted separately with a defined outcome and handover.

How the retainer works
A defined monthly rhythm, focused on the work that matters most.
Clients reserve a slice of senior digital engineering capacity, agree priorities, and use that time across delivery support, workflow improvement, team guidance, and technical escalation.
