Our engineers are participating in BIM trainings
Years of experience and professional knowledge are valuable in their own right, but we believe it is important to help the next generation of architects and those who are looking to learn about innovative, forward-thinking technology.
The emergence of technology in a wide range of industries is a natural process, as this is the most obvious way to increase their efficiency. The construction industry is no exception. Digitalisation has a major role to play in speeding up the designing and the construction process. Recognising this fact was of major importance for us, as it was one of the reasons why we were able to design in BIM from the very beginning.
Our experts have more than a decade of experience with Revit, and also, we, as a company of architects and engineers have been designing in the market-leading closed-BIM system for almost a decade. These years of experience and professional knowledge are valuable in themselves, but we believe it is important to support the next generation of designers and those who are looking to learn about innovative, future-oriented technology. Therefore, our BIM experts have started to develop the syllabus for trainings and to compile training materials.
Shortly afterwards, in 2017, they started teaching at the Budapest University of Technology. Our experts now teach at two faculties of the university. Students at both the Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Civil Engineering will gain a broad range of Autodesk Revit and BIM skills from our experts, who are now involved in teaching 7 courses. In addition to gaining relevant knowledge for their professional development, during a course they will also get an insight into the day-to-day work of designing. Students studying civil engineering and specializing in BIM design can spend a day in our office and see the practical benefits of their knowledge.
In our country, BIM education started after 2015 and has become increasingly important. And last year, the training in Building Information Modelling reached a milestone in Hungary, with the launch of the first program specializing as BIM engineers. The training was attended by several of our colleagues who are also involved in teaching in this program. It is thanks to the unquenchable thirst for knowledge, the desire to improve and the brilliance of our engineers and software developers that we have achieved this high level of professional knowledge and gained so much relevant experience.
This in itself is a great success but passing on all this knowledge and experience is the real honour and merit for us.

From idea to impact
At IN-EX, we believe that our greatest asset is the knowledge, experience and curiosity of our people. The Innovation Hub was created to ensure that our engineers’ ideas do not remain isolated suggestions: we give them space, develop them together, and take initiatives that create real value all the way through to implementation.
Structural Challenges of an Automated Warehouse System and a BIM-Based Solution
Our project serves as a good example of how adapting existing industrial buildings to modern technologies can present a complex engineering challenge. The implementation of the automated high-bay warehouse system involved not only a technological conversionbut also the adaptation of an existing reinforced concrete hall structure to new operational, structural, and fire safety requirements.
New Technology, Existing Structure: A Steel Structural Solution for the Conversion of an Automated High-Bay Warehouse
During the interior conversion of a high-bay warehouse attached to a manufacturing plant, it became necessary to install a state-of-the-art automated storage system. In the first phase of the project, we were commissioned to assess, at the conceptual design stage, whether the existing structural framework was suitable for accommodating the new technological system and to determine what structural modifications would be required to implement the conversion.
One Office, One Model: The Benefits of 3D Design and Multidisciplinary Collaboration
STUDIO IN-EX is a multidisciplinary design studio where almost every design discipline is represented under one roof. Every day, our colleagues experience the benefits of having designers from different disciplines work side by side, within a shared closed BIM environment and in the same office. What are these benefits in practice? We spoke to Lilla Vámos, one of our low-voltage systems designers, about her experience.
Case Study: Saving on Investment Costs Through Smart Warehouse Design
We believe that the investment cost of a project can be influenced to a significant extent during the design phase. For this reason, our approach goes beyond simply meeting the applicable requirements. We also investigate alternative technical solutions that can provide the same level of technical performance and safety while resulting in lower investment costs.
Model Checking Is Not About Finding Errors
In model-based design, a BIM model is no longer just a 3D representation. A well-structured model contains geometry, information, and discipline-specific relationships in a single source of truth. It drives drawings, quantity take-offs, schedules, equipment lists, technical data deliverables, and serves as the common platform for multidisciplinary coordination.
