About
Built by Engineers Who Lived Inside the Problem
MachineSquad was built by engineers who lived inside the problem. Founded in 2017 — nearly a decade as a focused specialist in this space — our background spans 20+ years of hands-on work on complex capital projects — energy assets, large-scale infrastructure builds, and industrial programmes across Europe and the Middle East — where engineering data lives in silos and nobody owns the connection between the 3D model and the information management layer.
That time spans Aveva environments and large-scale BIM projects alike — understanding not just how to operate the tools, but how data behaves inside them: how it degrades across revisions, how it gets siloed, and how to extract and reconcile it against downstream systems.
Approach
How We Work
Data First, Tools Second
We diagnose the data problem before recommending a solution. The right tool for the wrong problem is still the wrong answer.
Specialists, Not Generalists
We operate in a narrow domain and go deep. We do not staff engagements with generalists learning the sector on a client's budget.
We Build, Not Just Consult
Where a reusable solution exists — or needs to be built — we build it. SkyFrame is the result of that philosophy applied to the most common problem we encounter. It's also built for the AI-assisted workflows your team is moving towards — structured data that agents can query, not just humans.
Standards
Working Knowledge of Industry Standards
Our work is informed by CFIHOS, ISO 15926, and ISO 19650 — the standards that define how industrial engineering data should be structured, exchanged, and managed across asset lifecycles.
We apply these principles practically, not academically.
Differentiation
How We're Different
Compared to large engineering consultancies.
| Typical approach | MachineSquad |
|---|---|
| Large, generalist teams | Lean and specialist — deep 3D model and IM expertise in a small team |
| Off-the-shelf software procurement | Builds bespoke tooling where off-the-shelf doesn't exist or doesn't fit |
| Slow governance and procurement cycles | Moves at project speed, not procurement speed |
