About Hyphenify

Hyphenify is led by Mike Chan, a BIM professional with years of experience across Hong Kong, New Zealand, and the Asia-Pacific region. Mike holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Auckland and is a CIC-Certified BIM Manager (CCBM).

Project work has ranged from public housing and institutional facilities to luxury hotels and high-rise commercial towers. He is certified as both a CIC-Certified BIM Manager (CCBM) and a CIC-Certified BIM Coordinator (CCBC) in Hong Kong.

The practice views BIM as a framework that brings disciplines together, reduces manual work, and gives project teams cleaner information to design from. Less repetition, better models, more time for actual design.

/ Capabilities

What we do

We build tools and workflows that reduce repetitive tasks so your team can focus on design.

  1. Automation Custom API tools, add-ins, and MCP bridge development. We automate repetitive modelling tasks and build pipelines that move BIM data into the rest of your stack.
  2. BIM Project Management End-to-end BIM delivery from strategy to tender documentation. Architects, engineers and contractors coordinated across every discipline.
  3. MiC & Modern Methods Digital delivery for Modular Integrated Construction — steel frame and concrete MiC managed across multiple sites in parallel.
  4. BIM Training & Mentoring Practical training and on-the-job mentoring for BIM teams. Help staff build real, project-ready skills — not slideware.
  5. Visualisation From concept animations to tender-stage drawings. We produce clear visual deliverables that communicate design intent and support decision-making.
  6. BIM Strategy & Process Standards, workflows, and quality control. From GBP deliverables to DDA and AIP submissions.
/ Approach

How we work

BIM is more than software. It is a collaborative framework that lets multidisciplinary teams design from the same model.

We integrate expertise early, automate the repetitive parts, and keep everyone focused on design quality.

  1. A. Reduce repetitive tasks through custom automation — fewer manual hours, fewer errors.
  2. B. Integrate multidisciplinary expertise from day one — structural, MEP, and beyond.
  3. C. Right-size the approach — solutions that match each project’s scale and complexity.
  4. D. Use open standards and real data — LotProbe turns raw data into usable reference.
  5. E. Keep the team focused on design, not data entry.
/ Tool

LotProbe·HK Lot Boundary Tool

A practical example of what we build. LotProbe turns raw land data into searchable, map-based lot boundaries for HK architects initiate the feasibility design.
