LeapThought's Flagship Platform, FulcrumHQ, Acquires Key Certification from buildingSMART International

SEATTLE, Oct. 9, 2023 — (PRNewswire) — LeapThought Corp. announces that its platform, FulcrumHQ, has achieved IFC4 Import Certification, granted by buildingSMART International (bSI). bSI spearheads digital transformation in infrastructure and buildings, fostering open, universal standards development and adoption. The certification is a testament to LeapThought's commitment to interoperability within the industry.

LeapThought, established in 2011, specializes in tech solutions that improve productivity in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). The technology company's integrated digital delivery platforms are transforming how the built environment is planned, designed, managed, and operated.

Achievement of the bSI certification acknowledges FulcrumHQ's capabilities in supporting seamless interoperability of data across platforms. By utilizing Building Information Modelling (BIM) data, it ensures compatibility with international standards, eliminates potential barriers among project stakeholders, and promotes true collaboration in construction management.

"The distinguished bSI certification further confirms our commitment to connecting our customers with software solutions following the highest BIM interoperability standards. It aligns with our vision to transform the built environment with a comprehensive solution encompassing every stage of project and asset lifecycles," said Ratnakar Garikipati, CEO, Chair, and Founder of LeapThought Group.

BIM-powered digital workflows are indispensable to the construction sector. They encourage collaboration, minimize inaccuracies, and propel data-driven decision making. FulcrumHQ, with BIM at its core, enhances these project benefits by enabling increased collaboration, strategic decision-making, and cost reduction.

"FulcrumHQ underwent rigorous testing to comply with buildingSMART International's stringent standards, ensuring smooth integration of premium quality IFC models with supplementary BIM software," noted Leonardo Machado, Vice President - R&D at LeapThought. "This certification showcases our commitment to compliance and quality of the highest order."

"We have been very impressed with the way LeapThought has approached certification for their innovative solutions, and their approach to problem solving," said Aidan Mercer, Marketing Director at bSI. "Their support for IFC-based workflows will benefit customers and give confidence to end users that their software is fully openBIM compliant. We can expect some big things from LeapThought in the near future."
