Sometimes, the best ideas start with noticing what could be done better 🤔
For Ben Sherwood, that realisation came from working in the building services industry.
As an electrical engineer, Ben saw first-hand how much goes into delivering a successful project. Behind every drawing and model are engineers working through complex problems, balancing competing requirements and figuring out how everything will fit together in the real world.
But he also saw a problem 👇
BIM models could look okay on a screen without always accounting for the practical challenges of installation, coordination and buildability.
Meanwhile, engineering teams were under increasing pressure to deliver more, often without the extra time or resources required.
This is why in 2024, he set up Model Space with a simple idea:
➡️ Bring engineering knowledge and specialist BIM expertise together, giving project teams support that goes beyond producing drawings.
The aim was never just to create models; it was to help engineers solve problems, make better-informed decisions and deliver projects with greater confidence.
Today, that same thinking sits at the heart of everything we do.
