About AECEQ

Practical tools. Clearer project conversations.

AECEQ helps BIM and built-environment teams explore effort, budgets and delivery requirements. Created by Hossam Farag and published and operated by Alibtikar Walhulul AlMumtazah (IHM), it brings the calculators and readiness checks that are published today together with the assumptions behind them. AECEQ is managed from Saudi Arabia.

Built for preliminary decisions

The calculators are intended for BIM and information managers, commercial and project teams, asset owners, students, and other built-environment users. They support structured thinking and professional conversations; they do not provide certification or project-specific professional services.

Independent publication

The website is published and operated by Alibtikar Walhulul AlMumtazah (IHM). It is not operated, sponsored, or endorsed by Autodesk, buildingSMART, ISO, Engineers Australia, RICS, or any other standards body, software publisher, professional institution, or regulator unless a page expressly states otherwise.

References to third-party names, standards, products, or organisations are descriptive. All third-party rights remain with their respective owners.

Created by Hossam Farag

Hossam Farag created and develops AECEQ. His professional profile is available on LinkedIn. These general calculators do not provide a project-specific professional service or opinion.

Publication status

The calculators are available for review as a preliminary cohort. Their methods and limitations are visible, but the current cohort has not been independently validated or externally peer reviewed. Users should check the methodology and obtain appropriate professional review before relying on a result.
