Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about our digital solutions for the construction industry, from project setup to delivery.

What does Digital Guerrilla do?

Digital Guerrilla is Scotland’s first Digital Information Management consultancy. We help construction teams specify, deliver, validate, and hand over clear, usable information—from BIM strategy to project delivery and asset data.

We work across architecture, engineering, construction, and client organisations in both the public and private sectors—supporting designers, contractors, and asset owners.
Yes. We’re independent and software‑agnostic. While we regularly support tools like Revit, IFC, COBie, Power BI, and CDE platforms, we focus on information quality and outcomes—not selling software.

To us, BIM is about information, not just models. Our focus is ensuring data produced during design and construction is structured, validated, and genuinely useful at handover and into operation.

Yes. We support projects aligned with ISO 19650 and the UK BIM Framework, including EIRs, BEPs, validation strategies, structured data delivery, and independent project assurance.

GuerrillaV is our information management platform designed to proactively validate and improve project data quality—helping teams fix issues earlier and reduce late‑stage rework.

Traditional COBie checks are reactive and spreadsheet‑heavy. GuerrillaV provides earlier feedback, clearer accountability, and better engagement with project teams throughout delivery.

Yes. We maintain a range of free and paid resources, including Uniclass 2015 managers, COBie picklists, spreadsheets, and Revit/IFC support tools—available via our Downloads section.

Yes. We provide bespoke in‑person or online training, as well as self‑paced courses through the Digital Guerrilla Academy—covering COBie, IFC, BIM workflows, and information management.

Absolutely. Our training is role‑based and scalable—from those new to BIM and data delivery through to advanced users responsible for managing project or asset information.

Yes. We regularly support live projects with project setup, information delivery planning, model and data validation, coordination, and independent review services.

No. While we’re based in Scotland, we support projects across the UK and internationally, both remotely and on-site where required.

We focus on clarity over jargon, challenge “we’ve always done it this way,” and combine real project experience with deep technical knowledge to make information management actually work.
