Tebin: Digitalization of Engineering Solutions

Alexander Nikitin

About the company:

  • Engi­neer­ing and con­sult­ing com­pa­ny;
  • More than 40 employ­ees;
  • Wide range of activ­i­ties in the mar­kets: from indus­try to com­mer­cial real estate and infrastructure;
  • 10 years of expe­ri­ence in design­ing, con­sult­ing and project management;
  • Visu­al­iza­tion of projects in vir­tu­al real­i­ty.

TEBIN — is an inter­na­tion­al engi­neer­ing com­pa­ny of enthu­si­ast and pro­fes­sion­als with 10 years of expe­ri­ence. The com­pa­ny pro­vides the cus­tomers with a com­plex of ser­vices in design and devel­op­ment of engi­neer­ing solutions.

Alexan­der NIkitin, СЕО of the company:

We oper­ate sev­er­al offices. Our main engi­neer­ing cen­ter is in Ukraine, in Kyiv, along with a project office in Poland. The Ukrain­ian team con­sists of 35 peo­ple and is based in Kyiv, while the teams from oth­er cities bring togeth­er project managers.

Our cus­tomers are inter­na­tion­al com­pa­nies in Europe. The most active ones are in Ger­many and Poland.


Dig­i­tal­iza­tion of Engineering 

About Build­ing Infor­ma­tion Mod­el­ing ( BIM )

BIM design­ing is dig­i­tal visu­al­iza­tion with trans­for­ma­tion of engi­neer­ing data into a mod­el flex­i­ble to han­dle. BIM is uti­lized to design build­ings, and it facil­i­tates fur­ther con­struc­tion and oper­a­tion processes.



3D rep­re­sen­ta­tion of BIM designing

In oth­er words, BIM pro­vides the following:
  • Com­plex 3D mod­el­ing (3D dis­play of projects with data);
  • Project man­age­ment and coor­di­na­tion at the construction/​operation stages;
  • Analy­sis of project solu­tions and detec­tion of errors;
  • Engi­neer­ing analy­sis of build­ing struc­tures, light­ing, ener­gy sup­ply, water sup­ply and ventilation;
  • Vir­tu­al real­i­ty for analy­sis of project solutions;
  • Mod­el-based spec­i­fi­ca­tions of vol­umes (BoQ).

We habit­u­ate our cus­tomers to vir­tu­al real­i­ty. Who ben­e­fits from it?

Engi­neer­ing and con­struc­tion cur­rent­ly employ out­dat­ed project visu­al­iza­tion meth­ods – plan- and scheme-based. The TEBIN team attempts to fos­ter the devel­op­ment of indus­try and engi­neer­ing designs. For this pur­pose, we accus­tom the company’s clients to the vir­tu­al real­i­ty tech­nol­o­gy


Data exchange, con­fer­ences, meet­ings and dis­cus­sions occu­py half of work­ing hours of a con­tem­po­rary spe­cial­ist. TEBIN avoids such expen­di­ture. Projects are demon­strat­ed to cus­tomers in live rep­re­sen­ta­tion in the for­mat of VR-con­fer­ences. It enables the cus­tomer to review the facil­i­ty while stay­ing in his/​her office, hav­ing just put on the vir­tu­al real­i­ty glasses.

How it looks like:

In the out­come of such con­fer­ences, it takes much less time for investors, con­trac­tors and design­ers to fig­ure out expec­ta­tions and require­ments. The main advan­tage for a design­er com­pa­ny is that the VR tech­nol­o­gy makes it pos­si­ble to view design errors in advance


The world’s lead­ing con­struc­tion com­pa­nies use the BIM mod­el for dig­i­tal visu­al­iza­tion of pro­to­types and lay­outs. It pro­vides real rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the facility.

Work­place com­mu­ni­ca­tion inside the com­pa­ny and cor­re­spon­dence with cus­tomers are held in Work­sec­tion. Every task is fol­lowed by com­ments below, where we dis­cuss details of work, share media con­tent and doc­u­ments. We do not use email active­ly any more. In Work­sec­tion, the com­mu­ni­ca­tion is fast, the cor­re­spon­dence and files are always stored under the task.

Cus­tomers are ready to change, and we intro­duce tools and tech­nolo­gies grad­u­al­ly and rea­son­ably. Deal­ing with cus­tomers in TEBIN is trans­par­ent due to the fact that the company’s projects are han­dled in par­al­lel with han­dling cus­tomers through Work­sec­tion. More and more West­ern cus­tomers are look­ing in the direc­tion of indus­try dig­i­tal­iza­tion and under­stand the val­ues of engi­neer­ing tech­nolo­gies for man­age­ment in engi­neer­ing and construction.

Why Work­sec­tion

We were look­ing for a tool which we would inte­grate in a cou­ple of months, with a pleas­ant inter­face com­pre­hen­sive for the team. All our team tried var­i­ous task track­ers, and after some time we came across Work­sec­tion on the Inter­net. We viewed the video clips, cre­at­ed our account, uploaded a cou­ple of projects and got amazed that it was so con­ve­nient for our company. 

Work­sec­tion start­ed func­tion­ing as a mech­a­nism as ear­ly as in one month. The TEBIN team quick­ly got accus­tomed to the mode of com­plet­ing reports, cre­at­ing tasks, respond­ing to com­ments — and this is not only due to the simplicity. 

Work­sec­tion lets us know about the direc­tion of project devel­op­ment, what should be done fur­ther and how well we cope with it.
Advance­ment in projects is updat­ed very quick­ly. To avoid con­fu­sion, all data are uploaded to Work­sec­tion and down­loaded from the head. This saves our nerves and enhances the employ­ees’ productivity.

We are keen on real­iz­ing the Agile approach when out­lin­ing sprints, and we want to fol­low their execution. 

Adap­ta­tion to Worksection

The adap­ta­tion process was sim­ple. The first thing done by us was divid­ing tasks into subtasks.

For exam­ple, a 3D plan of a customer’s facil­i­ty is cre­at­ed in sev­er­al phas­es. A sep­a­rate task is cre­at­ed for visu­al­iza­tion. In this task, we cre­ate sub­tasks for var­i­ous visu­al­iza­tion oper­a­tions. In the sub­task, we have cre­at­ed the check­list. It fea­tures the dig­i­tal­iza­tion phas­es for our 3D struc­ture. We cross out each com­plet­ed stage. 

Check­list example:


In the sec­ond phase, we grouped teams in Work­sec­tion by the depart­ments. Now we cre­ate the company’s projects for a par­tic­u­lar team. It is easy to hide projects from teams and cus­tomers not involved in them. For instance, account­ing doc­u­ments will not be viewed by the IT depart­ment or by the customer’s staff. 

It is essen­tial that the task list in the task track­er is ulti­mate­ly sim­ple and infor­ma­tive at the same time. The task list in Work­sec­tion instant­ly shows the project to which the task belongs, as well as its pri­or­i­ty, labels and dead­line to com­plete it. 



We liked the abil­i­ty to use fil­ters pro­vid­ed in Work­sec­tion. We can see the work­load of employ­ees and fig­ure out who is over­loaded and who idles time in the office under air con­di­tion­ing in a sum­mer day.


Dis­ci­pline pre­vailed — the out­come of Work­sec­tion inte­gra­tion in TEBIN.

The team got prompt­ly accus­tomed to Work­sec­tion-based work pro­ce­dures. Now, once a spe­cial­ist arrives at his/​her work­place, he or she imme­di­ate­ly opens WS and knows what he needs to do and the sequence in which tasks should be closed. All ques­tions and answers have been relo­cat­ed to be found in com­ments to tasks. 


Mobile appli­ca­tion

Mobile appli­ca­tion was a key fac­tor in select­ing a project man­age­ment sys­tem. It is very con­ve­nient when the whole task list is always with you in your pock­et. You needn’t car­ry your lap­top or paper sheets in your hands all round the office. 


Many of our spe­cial­ists answer from their smart­phones. It has almost the same fea­tures as the desk­top ver­sion. You can cre­ate new tasks, add com­ments, upload files, receive push noti­fi­ca­tions, and track time using the time tracker.

The last updat­ed data are avail­able offline. They include lists of projects and tasks, per­son­al con­tacts and the per­son­al note­book. It is so nice that the appli­ca­tion is updat­ed and improved so often.

Many thanks to the Work­sec­tion team for such excel­lent prod­uct. TEBIN wish­es you suc­cess in your devel­op­ment. Let’s dig­i­tal­ize the world together!
