Shameless plug: at Speckle[0] we have the same attitude (we even have Ralph, Plangrid cofounder, on the cap table).

Only difference is we deal in 3D rather than pdfs, and we're open source for too many reasons to type on a mobile phone, but happy to elaborate if needed.

Would you consider the product you provide a BIM product?

I think what is fascinating about this space is that the tech is there for full 3d models, machine control, and BIM smart design.

It's all just so expensive, only the huge companies get deep into all of it. As a PLS, we've been delivering site topos for decades with full 3d surfaces, only to deliver those to the engineers and after design they print out a plan set.

it looks like it interfaces with bim products
I am so grateful for your comment because I did not know about your company and now I have been reading all your content and watching the videos and drooling on what you have put together. I am so mightily impressed and intrigued!
