Structural BIM Business Developer for Revit Plugin Startup

Project Description
I am looking for an experienced Business Developer / Product Strategist with a strong technical background in Structural Engineering and BIM to help define the high-level roadmap for launching a Revit-focused plugin business.

The goal is to outline a clear, practical, and realistic approach to starting this project — from identifying real market problems faced by structural engineers, to defining the first MVP plugin, go-to-market strategy, and early growth steps.

The business will focus on developing plugins that solve critical modeling, coordination, and data-transfer problems between Revit (Structure) and structural analysis/design software such as ETABS, SAP2000, and Robot.
Scope of Work
• Define the overall business and product strategy
• Identify the most critical market problems worth solving first
• Propose the most suitable first plugin (MVP) with clear justification
• Outline early validation steps (before heavy development)
• Define initial monetization approach (license vs subscription)
• Suggest early customer acquisition strategies
• Provide a high-level roadmap for the first 6–12 months
Mandatory Qualifications
• Proven experience as a Business Developer, Product Manager, or Product Strategist
• Strong understanding of Structural Engineering workflows
• Solid hands-on experience with BIM tools
• Advanced experience using Revit (Structure)
• Practical knowledge of Revit–ETABS / SAP2000 / Robot workflows
• Experience working with engineering software products or digital tools
Strongly Preferred
• Experience launching or scaling B2B SaaS or engineering software products
• Background in UX Research or User-Centered Product Design
• Experience working with engineering firms or multidisciplinary teams
• Familiarity with plugin-based business models
• Ability to translate technical pain points into product opportunities
Deliverables
• High-level business and product roadmap
• Clear definition of the first MVP plugin
• Step-by-step outline for project kickoff
• Risks, assumptions, and validation checkpoints
• Recommendations on team structure and next hires (if needed)
Project Duration
Short-term strategic engagement (5–10 days)
