BIM Services Provider

BIM services refer to professional Building Information Modeling solutions that help architects, engineers, and construction firms design, coordinate, and document building projects using intelligent 3D models. These services include 3D modeling, clash detection, construction documentation, quantity takeoffs, and as-built modeling, all delivered within platforms like Autodesk Revit and Navisworks.

CAD produces flat 2D drawings with no embedded data. BIM creates an intelligent 3D model where every element carries real information: dimensions, materials, cost data, and system properties. BIM models can be shared across disciplines simultaneously, enabling coordination that 2D CAD simply cannot support. Most AEC firms are migrating from CAD to BIM because BIM reduces errors, cuts rework, and produces more accurate documentation.

LOD stands for Level of Development. It defines how much detail and information a BIM model contains at a given project stage. LOD 100 is a basic conceptual massing model. LOD 300 is a fully coordinated design development model. LOD 400 is fabrication-level detail. LOD 500 is an as-built record model reflecting exactly what was constructed. The LOD required for your project depends on its stage and how the model will be used.

PDF to BIM conversion is the process of taking flat 2D PDF drawings, scanned documents, or printed plan sets and rebuilding them as fully intelligent Revit BIM models. The resulting model is parametric, coordinated, and ready for further design development, clash detection, or construction documentation. It is commonly used for renovation projects where existing records only exist in PDF or printed format.

CAD to BIM conversion involves migrating existing 2D AutoCAD drawings (DWG, DXF, or DGN files) into structured 3D Revit BIM models. The process goes beyond tracing: design intent is interpreted, drafting inconsistencies are resolved, and the model is built with correct Revit families, levels, and parameters. Firms upgrading from a CAD-based workflow to BIM use this service to bring legacy documentation into a modern, coordinated environment.

Clash detection is the process of identifying conflicts between building systems in a federated BIM model before construction begins. Using Autodesk Navisworks, architectural, structural, and MEP models are combined and analyzed for hard clashes (physical intersections), soft clashes (insufficient clearances), and workflow clashes (scheduling conflicts). Resolving clashes in the model rather than on site prevents costly rework and construction delays.

As-built BIM modeling is the creation of a LOD 500 Revit model that reflects actual constructed conditions rather than design intent. It is produced after construction using site surveys, marked-up drawings, and point cloud scan data. As-built models are used for facility management, future renovation planning, compliance documentation, and FM handover under standards like COBie.

MEP BIM is the application of Building Information Modeling to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. MEP BIM models contain intelligent 3D geometry for HVAC ductwork, pipework, electrical conduit, cable trays, and plumbing systems. These models coordinate with architectural and structural models to detect clashes, produce accurate quantity takeoffs, and generate construction-ready installation drawings.

Structural BIM is the application of Building Information Modeling to structural engineering. It involves creating 3D models of structural framing systems, foundations, reinforcement layouts, and connections in Revit Structure. Structural BIM models integrate with architectural and MEP models for multidiscipline coordination and clash detection, and can generate reinforcement schedules, bar bending schedules, and structural drawing sets directly from the model.

BIM service costs depend on four main factors: the discipline (Architectural, Structural, or MEP), the LOD required, the project size and complexity, and the deliverables needed. A simple PDF to BIM conversion for a small residential project costs considerably less than a full LOD 400 MEP coordination package for a commercial building. The most accurate way to get a cost is to share your drawings and scope, and receive a project-specific quote with a clear breakdown of deliverables, milestones, and revision rounds.

Yes. We are experienced with BS EN ISO 19650 requirements, including Common Data Environment protocols, Information Delivery Milestones, and BIM Execution Plan compliance. We have delivered projects requiring full UK BIM Framework compliance for clients in the United Kingdom.

Our primary platforms are Autodesk Revit (for Architectural, Structural, and MEP modeling), Autodesk Navisworks (for clash detection and coordination), and AutoCAD (for 2D documentation where required). We also produce IFC exports for interoperability with other BIM software and deliver COBie-compliant data for FM handover.
