Two ways to work together

Get advice before you commit budget, or hand over a defined task.

Ask Ahmed

Focused advice to define the right approach for a GIS, BIM, scanning or digital twin challenge.

Good for
Reviewing a scope or RFP, choosing tools and standards, a second opinion on deliverables.
Format
Calls, workshops or a written technical review.

Hire Ahmed

A technical task delivered end to end, with a clear scope, deliverables and timeline.

Good for
Data processing and modelling, automation and templates, dashboards and reports.
Format
Fixed scope with agreed acceptance criteria.

How a project runs

The same four steps whether it's a one-day review or a multi-month delivery.

  1. Brief

    Agree scope, deliverables and acceptance criteria up front.

  2. Assess

    Review existing data, site conditions and the standards that apply.

  3. Deliver

    Capture, process, model and integrate, with progress you can track.

  4. Verify

    QA/QC against the agreed criteria, then a documented handover.

Typical engagements

Examples of the work I take on. Detailed references are available on request.

Scan-to-BIM for existing buildings

Survey planning, scanning, registration and modelling to the required LOD, with deviation checks before submission.

Deliverables: registered point cloud, Revit model, deviation report

Enterprise GIS set-up

Geodatabase design, data standards and governance, legacy data migration and QA/QC workflows your team can run.

Deliverables: data model, standards document, QA/QC toolset

Digital twin foundations

BIM, GIS and asset data brought into one spatial model for a building, campus or district, ready for operations.

Deliverables: integrated 3D model, asset data mapping, dashboards

Questions before you get in touch

Quick answers on timing, confidentiality, quotes and coverage.

How long does delivery take?

It depends on scope, site size and the level of detail required. You get a firm timeline in the proposal before work starts, and progress is tracked against it.

How is my project data kept confidential?

Your data is used only for your project, shared only with people you approve, and handled under the confidentiality terms we agree, including an NDA if you need one.

How do I get a quote?

Send a short brief through the form: the site or data involved, the deliverables you need and your target date. I'll reply with a proposal covering scope, deliverables, timeline and price.

Which areas do you cover?

Consulting, modelling and GIS work are delivered remotely, wherever you are. On-site laser scanning is scheduled based on the project location.
