What do you provide?
Existing PDF or DWG drawings, the intended use of the model and the project's technical requirements. You can start with PDF documents even if CAD files are unavailable.
What do you receive?
- Discipline-specific BIM 3D models at the agreed level of detail.
- A clash report covering architectural, structural and MEP systems.
- Quantity data and handover documents within the agreed scope of work.
Content, formats and handover scope are agreed before work begins.
From 2D drawings to information-rich models
A set of PDF documents can be the starting point for digitization. We accept 2D drawings in PDF or DWG, review the available data and advise on a modeling scope suited to the project's intended use.
The model represents more than building geometry. Component information is organized to support design coordination, clash detection, quantity takeoff and construction management.
Coordinating disciplines
- Architectural and structural models.
- Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP), and fire protection systems.
- Landscaping and other items within the project scope.
- Model federation, clash detection and coordination reporting.
Selecting the level of development
The LOD scope is agreed at the outset for each stage: concept and basic design, technical coordination, fabrication and shop drawings, or as-built records and operation. We advise on a level of detail proportionate to its practical value, rather than developing models beyond what is needed.
Our workflow
- Receive the data and clarify the objectives for BIM use.
- Review inputs and agree the scope and work plan.
- Build models, coordinate disciplines and check data.
- Report clashes, update and refine based on feedback.
- Hand over models and related documents, with usage support.
