Opening Soon The Tally · National survey
Canada's national built environment digitalization survey.
The first count of how digital Canada's built environment really is 10–14 minutes, confidential, results shared with every respondent.
Industry-wide research, not a service. Separate from our free Snapshot Audit, which is always available.
Canada’s built environment digitalization firm
Improving your buildings and infrastructure, with evidence — not assumptions.
We help owners, operators, and builders of Canada’s infrastructure place their organization on the digital maturity scale, price the cost of where they are (and aren’t), and produce an evidence-based, ROI satisfying improvement plan.
The snapshot audit is a quick and effective way to understand where your organization sits digitally. It is free with no obligation or email required.
Our unique Grounded Diagnostic provides the strongest evidence of where you are at. The results produce an informed plan that is tied to our 6 practices areas and can be pursued with confidence.
The journey
The Clarity Builders approach on one page
One maturity scale that has four levels measured against five dimensions — People, Process, Technology, Governance, Contracts. Placement is per dimension, so no two clients get the same plan.
OUR PROCESS – WHAT WE DIAGNOSE AND MEASURE
What Clarity Builders diagnoses
Pick one of the 5 business dimensions, then click any segment of the wheel to see what we measure in the Grounded Diagnostic and continue to measure you in as your organization advances.
The digitalization journey
Four maturity levels, one scale
Placement is recorded per dimension — an organization can be BIM Ready on Contracts and Analogish on Technology, and buy only the work each dimension needs.
Level 1
Analogish
Some digital, PDF, and email-driven workflows. Information tends to live in silos.
Level 2
Pre-BIM
Awareness established, governance being designed. Has momentum towards a better digital structure.
Level 3
BIM Ready
BIM under ISO 19650 is the operating norm. Data flows into operations. Positioned for digital best practices.
Level 4
BIM Engaged
Digital Twin and AI-assisted analytics are part of how the organization runs. Leader. Highest level of benefit.
Service architecture
Six practice areas, one service structure
The diagnostic creates an informed plan with execises aligned to our 6 practice areas. Digitalization is the connective tissue for all six.
BIM under ISO 19650
EIRs, BEPs, and Common Data Environment design — the most mature capability.
Digital Procurement Strategy
Carrying digital requirements through the supply chain in procurement language.
Digital Twin design
Operating twins that inform energy, condition, and renewal decisions.
AI integration & governance
Practical, governed AI use cases tied to measurable outcomes.
Asset data architecture
Structured asset data that survives every handover and transition.
Change & capability
ADKAR, Middle-Out Engagement, and the Active Secretariat Model on every program.
Evidence, not assertion
Field-tested across federal Canada
Change management
The Digital Built Government initiative field-tested the people-first disciplines that now anchor the CB model.
~96% of E&C data went unused before reform.
ISO 19650
Putting a federal department’s real-property data on a standardized, digital footing — scope extended by the client.
18 deliverables across 4 workstreams.
National standard
Detailed guidance for the NRC’s updated Canadian Practice Manual for BIM, aligned to ISO 19650 Parts 1–6.
G7 Canada: the only nation without a national BIM mandate.
