BIMaudit | VDI Hygiene Inspector
R 850,00*
Task - Work Location:
ZA - From George
The Hygiene inspector for sampling and the hygiene assurance for building services systems and food processing surfaces.
Hygiene assurance for building services systems and food processing surfaces
Our hygiene inspectors offer comprehensive sampling and hygiene assurance for building services systems and food processing surfaces. Here is an overview of the essentials:
Advantages:
Our inspectors have theoretical and practical experience in plant engineering and are familiar with VDI regulations and ASHRAE guidelines. Their extensive practical experience brings with it outstanding expertise.
Sampling and risk assessment:
Our inspectors conduct surface sampling using contact or swab samples. The informative laboratory analysis provides information about microbiological or chemical parameters and serves as a risk assessment for operators.
Documentation and recurring inspections:
The inspectors determine sampling points and document them on inventory plans. They also prepare recommendations for action and risk assessments for operators through regularly recurring sampling.
Visual inspection and testing of external work environments:
A comprehensive visual inspection and the testing of external workplace environments round out the range of services offered by our inspectors.
With our experienced hygiene inspectors, you can ensure hygiene safety and health in your company.
Are maintenance contracts necessary?
We offer this without restrictive contracts in the BIMcare™ category.
Always fully configure supply chains
This is ideally suited for a 4-day work week, Monday through Thursday. This is not an all-inclusive package; travel expenses and materials are not included and can be found at BIMdepot™, BIMcare™, BIMpilot™, or BIMphase™. BIMcare™ customers automatically receive a discount on this item.
Digital Reports – well-founded, transparent, location-independent
Our experts prepare all reports based on the digital documents you provide – without the need for an on-site appointment. If necessary, we incorporate BIM models or additional measurement data to deliver a precise, reliable result.

BIM Facility Manager
R 6 800,00*
Task - Work Location:
ZA - From George
The modern BIM Facility Manager, like a "caretaker", ensures environmentally friendly operation of the building and technology. A digital, scheduled and organised way.
What are the advantages with BIM Facility Manager?
Technology and buildings are organised economically, including operator obligations. This ensures repairs, maintenance and the organised deployment of specialists. External contracts with BIM-CAFM are monitored according to generally accepted technical standards. BIM Facility Management knows more than just mechanics, fire protection, construction technology, MSR or refrigeration technology.
How BIM Facility Managers work with buildings?
In general, every building needs a 3D model and, if necessary, it will be created for you. This is the basis for the climate-neutral concept for building management. Additionally, a digital platform for BIM-CAFM will be mandatory, which you can obtain through our BIM Manager.
Where are maintenance contracts offered?
This can be found under the category BIMcare™.
Always fully configure supply chains

BIM Manager - Operative
R 4 400,00*
Task - Work Location:
Remote
|
Weekly model:
4 days/week
The digital project manager is practical and works remotely. Buildings are increasingly being operated in a climate-neutral way as a result.
The BIM Manager opens up new horizons
BIM management is an unknown field for many. It is by no means just about software, because practical experience is essential. Instead of just being able to see dotted lines on the screen, our BIM Manager has a profound understanding of all the trades involved. The whole thing is comparable to video conferences with a mirror image of the building. But there are no remote activities. However, we are preparing for on-site operations along the supply chain and buildings are operated much more economically, promptly and sustainably.
Always configure supply chains completely
Ideally a 4-day week from Monday to Thursday. This is not an all-inclusive package, travel costs and work materials are not included and can be found under BIMpilot or BIMphase.

Construction sites require clear rules, safe procedures, and professional supervision. Our OHS (Occupational Safety and Health Coordinator) supports you on-site or remotely – assessing risks, reviewing workflows, and creating tailored instructions for safe operations.
Choosing the right deployment location
Select the deployment location that best suits your project. Each location applies exclusively to on-site visits in the respective area. This selection does not cover purely remote creation of documents (e.g., HSE Plan, risk assessments, or updates thereof).
Clarity and safety on construction sites
Workplace safety is more than meeting formal requirements. Our HSE Coordinator brings structure, experience, and clear guidance to your team – on-site or digitally. Instead of abstract rules, you receive practical orientation that translates complex regulations into safe and efficient routines – for new builds, renovations, or maintenance.
Every site visit or remote session increases transparency, reliability, and resilience. Safety becomes part of a culture that supports productivity and long-term success.

BIMpilot | Analysis Kit Surface Contact Samples
R 2 200,00*
Language Version:
English
Contact Sample Set for Professionals: Contains 5 round agar plates in Petri dishes for surface sampling – ideal for air filters, condensate trays, interior walls of air-conducting components, food processing areas, or refrigeration units. Sample evaluation and the creation of a test report (e.g., according to VDI 6022, HACCP, or GMP) are not included and are the responsibility of the user.
Note: Additional sets are required for more than 4 samples.
Germ and Bacteria Analysis
Most bacteria grow as red colonies on TTC agar – occasionally fungi and yeasts also grow. Colorless colonies are also included in the analysis. The decisive factor is the colony-forming units (CFU), not their size. If the bacterial count is high, the coating may appear uniformly colored or colorless if there is a high level of growth. Comparison with a fresh medium helps avoid misinterpretations.
Guideline values:
<104 CFU/ml = low contamination
104 – 106 CFU/ml = moderate
>106 CFU/ml = high, unacceptable
Important information
Sampling kit – no on-site service included.
Transport, consultation, action planning & Results discussion can be booked separately.
Longer stays require a separate booking.
Additional services are available via BIM Facility Management or Expert Report.
Additional costs can be viewed at BIMpilot.
Always professionally secure supply chains
For full process support, we recommend booking a BIM Facility Manager or VDI Hygiene Inspector (Mon-Thurs, 4 days/week).
Please note: Work equipment and travel expenses are not included – details can be found at BIMpilot or BIMservice.

Who are our MEP reports particularly relevant for?
Our services are aimed specifically at B2B clients with high technical and regulatory requirements for functionality, hygiene, safety, and efficiency:
Industrial & Medium-Sized Enterprises
Improving efficiency and ensuring operational safety are key concerns for manufacturing companies and medium-sized enterprises. We identify cost-saving opportunities, highlight optimisation options, and help implement legal requirements (e.g., energy audits in accordance with EDL-G) in a cost-effective manner. This includes chemical & industrial companies, packaging manufacturers, airports, retail & wholesale, hotels, event venues and many more.
Hospitals, Clinics & Medical Practices
In healthcare, ventilation, hygiene, and climate stability are crucial. Our MEP reports document functionality and compliance with hygiene standards – essential for operational safety and certifications. The focus is on medical practices, clinics, pharmaceutical companies, and laboratories.
Professional Bodies & Public Institutions
Professional bodies benefit from neutral reports that combine technical and safety assessments. We assist with risk assessments, air quality measurements, and fire safety inspections to ensure long-term workplace and operational safety.
