Our Story

OpenBrIM platform started with the FHWA research project "Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) Using Open Parametric Objects" in 2012, with the goal of creating an open and collaborative information modeling environment, where:

Information owners create and maintain information intuitively in both machine and human readable format;

and AEC community consume this information via open and efficient protocols.

OpenBrIM Platform's development and support is currently lead by Ali Koc & Cagin Yakar, bringing in 30 years of experience in managing engineering software development projects at LARSA; and supporting bridge engineering community at large.

Our management team has over 50 years of combined experience in civil engineering and software development projects -- set out to support the growth of the AEC industry both in US and abroad.

OpenBrIM Platform is supported by a global community of engineers, working tirelessly towards bringing positive change to the AEC community. Please do not hesitate to contact us to learn more on OpenBrIM platform.

ONE MODEL

A single source of truth that eliminates data silos and version confusion across your entire project.

EVERY STAKEHOLDER

Owners, designers, contractors, fabricators, and inspectors all working from the same connected platform.

ENTIRE LIFECYCLE

From initial design through construction, inspection, rating, and operation, seamlessly connected.

Ali Koc

Founder

Before OpenBrIM, Ali spent years watching brilliant engineers waste time on tasks that should have been automated decades ago. So he built the platform he wished existed when he started. Still frustrated by inefficiency. Still convinced there's a better way. With AI, the automation he's been chasing for years is finally within reach.

Cagin Yakar

CEO

Cagin has watched agencies and firms struggle to implement digital delivery with tools that weren't built for it. OpenBrIM is what happens when you actually listen to what the industry needs. Starting one domain at a time - bridge engineering first. Long way to go to cover each domain in the AEC industry - or so we thought. The emergence of agentic AI development changed everything, accelerating our expansion across civil infrastructure domains.
