Advanced Building
Modeling & Design
Four verticals. One vision. Comprehensive Marine Engineering, Civil Engineering, Architectural, and Mapping services — from concept to construction.
Efficiency, Redefined
Effibt is an architect-led BIM studio, founded in June 2024 in Panjim, Goa, with a Canada studio opened by Gayatri in October 2024. We deliver Marine, Civil, Architectural and Mapping services for clients across North America, EU and the Middle East.
We are two co-founders with complementary backgrounds: an architect with a decade of design practice, and an IT services veteran whose other firm runs IT design for the Election Commission of India, Cricket Club of India, and Indian Railways.
What that combination produces is engineering and design work delivered with the operational discipline of a software practice: fixed scope, transparent pricing, vendor-neutral specification.

Gayatri leads Effibt's design practice from our Canada studio, opened in October 2024. A B.Arch with over a decade in architectural and interior design before founding Effibt — with a track record of spaces that balance aesthetics with real-world performance. She owns the design vision, the BIM standards, and the project delivery.
Janak co-founded Effibt in June 2024, anchoring the Goa studio. With 15 years of IT services experience and a finance background, he also runs Technology Inc., an IT design consultancy founded in 2017. Clients include the Election Commission of India (Goa), Cricket Club of India (Mumbai), and Indian Railways.
"Together, we're changing the way people think about building technologies. At Effibt, it's not just about constructing buildings — it's about creating solutions that truly make a difference. We're building toward a smarter, more sustainable future."

Built to International Standards
BIM Level 2 Compliant
Our workflows follow BIM Level 2 standards for collaborative 3D modeling, data exchange, and project lifecycle management.
ISO 19650 Aligned
Our team has delivered work on engagements operating under ISO 19650, and our process follows its information-management protocols. Company-level certification on our roadmap — not yet held. We say this openly with every client.
LEED & BREEAM Aware
Models structured to support sustainability submissions where required. Full certification leadership delivered with sustainability-consulting partners — not within our current core scope.
PAS 1192 Framework
Deliverables structured per PAS 1192 specifications for BIM project information management.
IFC & COBie Standards
Open data formats for seamless interoperability across platforms — no vendor lock-in for our clients.
GDPR Compliant
EU GDPR principles followed in client data handling. NDA standard on every engagement. Encrypted file exchange. Defence and government data isolation protocols available on request. Operational practice; not formally audited as a company.
How We Work
Defined scope, locked deliverables, fixed price. Scope agreed before kickoff; no surprises mid-engagement. Best for one-time BIM modeling, scan-to-BIM, or architectural documentation with clear requirements.
Pay for hours worked with full transparency. Weekly timesheets, signed off before invoicing. Best for evolving projects, ongoing support, or scopes that need to flex through delivery.
A dedicated team integrated into your workflow. Monthly retainer, guaranteed availability, predictable cost. Best for architecture or engineering firms needing consistent BIM, MEP or scan-to-BIM support.

In Delivery Since June 2024
What Our Clients Say
Effibt's BIM coordination saved us weeks on a complex commercial project. Their clash detection caught issues we would have only found on site. The team works around our timezone, which is invaluable when deadlines are tight.
We engaged Effibt for hull modeling and structural detailing on a retrofit project. Their grasp of NURBS modeling and class documentation was exactly what we needed. Delivery was on time and the quality matched what we'd expect from senior in-house engineers.
As a small civil engineering firm, having Effibt as our overflow partner has been a game-changer. Their Civil 3D work, BOQs, and as-built documentation are spot on. They feel like an extension of our team, not an outsourcing vendor.
