Why We're Different
We find the issues that would cost you profit.
Most BIM companies hand you a generic report with dozens – or hundreds – of clashes.
We filter, group, and analyze all of the clashes or coordination issues we find to give you an actionable list of items to resolve to make a real difference on your project.

Chelsea Montgomery
Co-Founder & CEO – Technical Lead
Most BIM managers started in design. I started with general contractors, building BIM departments alongside estimating.
Having spent more than a decade with general contracts, I quickly learned what made a difference for the profit margin on a project.
I founded Pixel BIM to solve a specific problem: General Contractors know they need BIM, but don’t need the overhead and complexity of managing an entirely different technology. We integrate directly with your team providing you the ability to scale your BIM efforts up and down as your projects require.
I have successfully used BIM on a huge range of projects including Legion Veterans Village, Nanak Foods, and UBC Biomedical Sciences building throughout my career where we saw massive successes.
I’d love to help you see those same results on your next project too.
Chad Montgomery
Co-Founder & COO – Business Development
I’ve spent the last seven years as an estimator at some of Vancouver’s top general contractors and subtrades. From glazing and cladding at Flynn Group, where I worked on projects like Telus Ocean’s 100,000 square feet of custom curtain wall, to Scott Construction, where I estimated heritage restorations, BC Housing projects, and institutional builds.
In every one of those roles, I watched the same thing happen: coordination issues that were sitting in the drawings would show up on site as change orders, delays, and difficult conversations. Problems that could have been caught for virtually nothing were costing tens or hundreds of thousands to fix in the field.
That’s why I co-founded Pixel BIM. I know what it’s like to be the estimator looking at a budget that just got blown up by something preventable. I know how PMs talk about coordination, how supers deal with it on the ground, and what trades actually need to build it right.
When you work with us, you’re not getting a consultant who’s read about construction, you’re getting someone who’s lived it from the contractor and subcontractor’s side of the table.
What This Means For You
When you work with Pixel BIM, you get a technical lead who's implemented BIM departments from scratch — and a business development partner who's lived through the coordination problems your team faces every day. That means deliverables built for how construction actually works, not how it looks in a textbook.
Chelsea delivers the work
10+ years running BIM departments at GCs. Models, clash detection, and reports built by someone who understands how trades actually build.
Chad speaks your language
7 years as an estimator at Vancouver GCs and subtrades. He knows your pain points because he's lived them firsthand.
