We were delighted to welcome the students of BME in our office
We were delighted to welcome the students attending the BIM specialization of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) in our office. First of all, our HR-generalist Andi Bányász explained how our general design office is structured, what kind of projects we have had in the past years. Then our project coordinator Bence Emődi took the floor and introduced the key role of project management. At IN-EX, a specialized team is dedicated to the background support of projects in relation to management tasks. Our PM team is responsible for keeping projects on track and monitoring them. This expert team, not common in design offices, allows our engineers to focus more on the designing process.
Next came a presentation by our BIM expert Zita Zsoldos, who showed the students the functionality and benefits of our unique applications that support BIM design. At our office, we have created a dedicated team of top BIM experts and software developers who are constantly working to optimise our internal BIM processes in order to provide our partners with state-of-the-art solutions. In addition, this team regularly develops applications to facilitate the day-to-day work of design engineers, thereby increasing efficiency and streamlining the design process.
After a short lunch break, structural engineer Gábor Pljesovszki gave a comprehensive technical presentation on the relationship between structures and BIM: how BIM enhances the accurate modelling, design and analysis of structures and the coordination between different disciplines.
The day was closed with a joint presentation by Zsolt Oláh, Gábor Pirnát and Péter Bodnár on “BIM-based design for engineering”, which showed how to minimise design errors, increase efficiency and support the entire project cycle from design to construction. They also showed how BIM enables seamless collaboration between different the disciplines such as architecture, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, structural design, etc. using a common digital model.
It is of paramount importance for us to support and inspire the next generation of engineers. We always welcome enthusiastic young people who are interested in the profession, and we are proud to be able to guide them with our experience and knowledge. We believe that through shared experience and knowledge sharing, we shape the professional community of the future.

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.
