Mott
MacDonald Ventures, the investment arm of global management, engineering and
development consultancy Mott MacDonald, has announced a new strategic
partnership with 3D Repo, pioneers of cloud-based design collaboration for
building information modelling (BIM).

The
partnership follows a recent £2.3m A-series investment round in 3D Repo led by
The Ingenious Group’s infrastructure ventures EIS service, and brings more
positive momentum for the innovative start-up.

Mott
MacDonald currently utilises BIM across the building, oil and gas, transport,
water, and power industry sectors, and plans to use 3D Repo’s online
collaborative platform to enhance collaboration and to drive better results on
construction projects across the UK.

Darren
Russell, chief digital officer at Mott MacDonald Digital Ventures, said:

“BIM
brings a long list of tangible benefits that ultimately save time and money
through reduced risk, minimising waste, faster delivery, and enhanced sustainability.
Through our partnership with 3D Repo we’ll be able to connect people with the
information they need to drive better decisions and deliver more of the UK’s
most ambitious construction projects.�

Mott
MacDonald is a US$2bn organisation, employing over 16,000 people and delivering
projects all over the world. Notable developments include Heathrow Terminal 5,
the Manchester Civil Justice Centre, and the US$13bn redevelopment of JFK
Airport.

Dr
Jozef Dobos, founder and CEO of 3D Repo, said:

“3D
Repo is already partnered with a growing list of forward-thinking tech
companies including Opentext, BrydenWood, and Mission Room, among others. Our
new partnership with Mott MacDonald will open new doors for 3D Repo and allow
us to deploy our digital construction platform on more of the most challenging
infrastructure projects in the UK.�

London-based
3D Repo has deployed its collaborative BIM platform on projects such as Wood
Wharf district, the remodelling of King’s Cross railway station and Hinkley
Point C nuclear power station. Its multi-award-winning digital platform for BIM
provides access to data to anyone with a web browser whenever and wherever they
need it. The service democratises the data, mitigates risk and reduces
complexity for everyone involved including architects, engineers, and
contractors. 3D Repo allows users to manage 3D model revisions and highlight
potential clashes and safety issues using live collaboration tools which enable
the whole project team to work from a single source of truth, anywhere and at
any time.
