Growing together: a look back at the story of our MDB Studio in Tunis

Establishing My Digital Buildings as the leading expert in building heritage digitisation requires a blend of technological innovation, methodological rigour, and exceptional talent. Through our MDB Studio and its first subsidiary based in Tunis, we have chosen an integrated co-development model. Here is a look back at a human and technical journey driven by 15 passionate team members.

The MDB Studio acts as the engineering and expertise hub for 2D, 3D, and BIM at My Digital Buildings. Its purpose is to manage complex modelling projects, from the analysis and processing of point clouds to the production of 2D plans and BIM models with exacting precision.

Beyond modelling, MDB Studio also contributes its expertise to high-value audit, management, and coordination assignments. This promise of support embodies our commitment: to guarantee excellence in heritage digitisation, from project management through to on-site execution.

From the very beginning, the positioning of MDB Studio was intended to be unique. Its first entity based in Tunis is neither an external service provider nor a subcontractor: it is a subsidiary fully integrated into our global value chain.

In practical terms, this means that our teams in Tunis share:

• The same methods and tools as all the teams involved in our projects
• The strictest international standards and norms in our sector.
• IT security and data privacy protocols rigorous enough to protect all client deliverables at every stage of production.

This model allows us to guarantee high responsiveness as well as an agile and competitive modelling service.

The quality of our deliverables relies first and foremost on the team at MDB Studio. Our 15 team members in Tunis form a multidisciplinary team specialising in architecture, engineering and BIM modelling.

“ For me, MDB Studio is a daily adventure in upskilling, driven by the increasing complexity and technical nature of our projects, as well as the challenges of management. We are constantly looking to improve our methods, our processes and, above all, the quality of our deliverables to meet the requirements of our clients and the standards of the construction and BIM sector. This commitment to continuous improvement, fuelled by industry developments, pushes us towards better results every day. What sets MDB Studio apart is not just the quality of its deliverables, but also the diversity and complementarity of its team's professional skills, bringing together profiles from various disciplines in architecture, engineering and construction. This wealth of expertise allows us to go beyond simple execution to bring real insight to every project and produce reliable data at every stage of its lifecycle. ” — Emna EL BEY, BIM Manager / Production Lead

“ I am an architect by training and have always been keen to develop my skills. My interest in BIM led me to specialise in the field, and MDB gave me the opportunity to take that step. This journey has been a real adventure, rich in learning and challenges. Today, as a BIM Project Manager at MDB Studio, we ensure client satisfaction by paying close attention to the relevance of the solutions we propose, their quality and meeting deadlines. But beyond the technical aspect, this experience has also taught me the importance of the human factor: understanding different profiles, collaborating and moving forward together by sharing our diverse skills across different areas of the building sector. My journey with MDB Studio represents much more than just technical upskilling; it is a human and professional experience. ” — Chaima HATTAB, Project Manager

The establishment of our subsidiary in Tunis is the first step in an ambitious roadmap. Ultimately, MDB Studio aims to develop into a true international skills hub, leveraging multiple locations around the world to strengthen our responsiveness and support our clients' growth.
