Everything needed to write about XYZ BIM or reproduce the mark: files, exact colours, typefaces and quotable boilerplate. Free for editorial use, no permission required.
The name
The name is written XYZ BIM — two words, all capitals, no hyphen. The full legal name is XYZ BIM, LDA. In running text the first mention should be XYZ BIM; afterwards XYZ alone is fine.

The mark
The mark is a monogram that draws the letters X, Y and Z as one continuous figure. It exists in two constructions. The primary one appears in this site's header and should be used by default; the wider alternative exists for broad or low-resolution applications.
The mark inherits the surrounding text colour. Reproduce it black on light or white on dark — never in the accent colour.
Clear space and minimum size
Keep a margin around the mark equal to half its height. Nothing else — text, image, page edge — enters that area. Minimum size is 24 px on screen and 8 mm in print; below that the strokes close up.
The grey margin is the clear space: half the mark's height on every side.
Colour
The brand sits on warm paper with near-black ink. Brick is the only accent and is used sparingly — one element per screen. On dark backgrounds the accent lightens to hold legible contrast.
↘ Light (default)Typography
Helvetica for text, JetBrains Mono for labels, codes and metadata. Fraunces is the exception voice, used only in heritage project titles. No typeface is requested from an external server.

Boilerplate

XYZ BIM is a Portuguese BIM and architecture collective specialising in scan-to-BIM, HBIM heritage modelling and ISO 19650 consultancy.
XYZ BIM is a Portuguese BIM and architecture collective based in Portugal, working for Portuguese and German clients. The practice is built on measuring what already stands: laser scanning and photogrammetry turned into federated models, HBIM modelling of listed buildings, consultancy and auditing to EN ISO 19650, and low-cost rehabilitation design. It also develops open tools for the sector — among them BEP99, a generator of ISO 19650-compliant BIM execution plans, and a public directory of specialisms in Portuguese public works tendering.
