We build dedicated teams in India for design and construction firms: modelling, detailing, software development. Virat Manchanda provides the company and the people in New Delhi. Jakob Hirn keeps processes and quality on track from Innsbruck. You stay in control, and if you want, you take over the company.
Draughtsmen, BIM modellers and detailers are hard to find in Austria and Germany and expensive to keep. The work itself, building models, deriving drawings, detailing, quantity take-off, is well defined and runs in the same tools, whether in Innsbruck or in Delhi.
Classic outsourcing solves only half of it. You buy hours from a vendor, the people rotate, the knowledge stays there. We do it differently: the team is built for you, works only for you, in your systems, to your standards. It is your department, just in another place.
Fair, to us, means regular employment under Indian labour law, decent salaries instead of a race to the bottom, and an open calculation. You see every line item.
For context
| Time difference Delhi | +3.5 h / +4.5 h | summer / winter, India has no DST |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering graduates India | ≈ 1.5 m / year | TeamLease, 2024 |
| Open positions per 100 unemployed, construction and architecture DE | 306 | VDI/IW engineer monitor, Q3 2025 |
| Austrian firms short of skilled staff | 78 % | WKO labour radar 2025 |
| Incorporating a private limited | 6 to 8 weeks | incl. bank account, Wisemonk 2026 |
Four stages, each with a defined result. You can stop after any of them.
We look at the department with you and draw the line: what stays with you, what goes to Delhi. It usually starts with a clearly bounded package, say as-built modelling, shop drawings or a developer team for your in-house tools. The result: job profiles, a target picture and a cost frame.
Jakob, with youVirat incorporates the company for your team in New Delhi or hires through the existing structure, depending on size. He sources the people, runs the interviews together with you and sets up office, workstations and licences. You decide who starts.
Virat, on siteThe team works in your environment: your CDE, your templates, your naming conventions, following ISO 19650. Jakob handles onboarding and quality checks and remains your contact in Innsbruck. Thanks to the time difference, results are on your desk in the morning.
Both of usOnce the team stands, it is yours. If you wish, you take over the company with its people and contracts, or we keep running it for you. The terms for that are in the contract from day one, not at the end.

One-off at set-up: €2,700 – €3,650. Incorporation, registrations, fit-out. Only applies if a dedicated company is incorporated.
Not included: travel, onboarding, your own time. Actual salaries are set together with you and deliberately sit above the median.
Salaries are means of several salary portals for 3 to 5 years of experience (Austria: monthly values × 14), employer rates are statutory, as of 2025/2026. Exchange rate: 110.15 EUR/INR (17.09.2026).
No Austrian portal lists BIM modellers separately; the value is the mean of construction-technician statistics (collective-agreement entry level 37,900 to 44,500 EUR sits in the same range).
