Curtain Wall & Glazing BIM Services Intelligent BIM Models for Complex Building Envelopes
We provide Curtain Wall and Glazing BIM services that help architects, facade consultants, contractors, and fabricators deliver complex building envelopes with confidence. Using Autodesk Revit and advanced digital workflows, we develop data-driven models for curtain wall systems, structural glazing, storefronts, and window walls that integrate seamlessly with architectural, structural, and MEP systems.
Our models are built for coordination, fabrication, and installation, supporting design validation, quantity estimation, shop drawings, and installation sequencing.
What We Deliver
Curtain Wall and Glazing BIM services involve the creation of detailed, parametric 3D models for facade systems using Autodesk Revit.
We model every critical component of the building envelope—mullions, transoms, glass panels, spandrel panels, structural glazing connections, and weather sealing systems—within a single, information-rich digital environment.
Our models are construction-ready and support:
- ✅ Parametric 3D curtain wall stick, unitized, or panel systems
- ✅ Structural glazing and storefront architectural models
- ✅ Shop drawings and mullion bracket fabrication details
- ✅ Clash detection and multi-disciplinary interference reports
- ✅ Quantity takeoffs and panel material BOQ schedules
Curtain Wall Levels of Development (LOD)
We deliver models aligned to international LOD standards to suit your structural detailing needs:
| LOD Stage | Title | Modeling Component Scope | Tolerance | Key Deliverables |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LOD 200 | Conceptual Massing | Facade modeled as general masses with approximate building envelope bounds and grid layout lines. | +/- 100 mm | Zoning shadows & massing models |
| LOD 300 | Detailed Design Components | Stick-built, unitized and panelized curtain walls, spandrels, and glass fins modeled with basic profiles. | +/- 20 mm | Architectural coordination packs |
| LOD 350 | Coordination Assemblies | Mullion shapes, steel connector anchors, support brackets, embeds, waterproofing membranes, and insulation sheets. | +/- 5 mm | Clash detection & coordinated assembly preps |
| LOD 400 | Fabrication detailing | CNC-ready pressure plates, glazing gaskets, fasteners, transoms, and silicone sealants with manufacturing metadata. | +/- 1 mm | Shop drawings extraction & CNC plans |
Our Curtain Wall & Glazing BIM Services
We provide comprehensive 3D modeling, coordination, and detailing services for glazing systems:
Curtain Wall BIM Modeling Services
We create intelligent 3D curtain wall models for stick-built, unitized, and panelized systems.

- Unitized curtain wall systems modeling
- Panelized curtain wall systems modeling
- Custom curtain wall profile extrusions
Structural Glazing BIM Services
We develop models for structural glazing and glass façade systems, including bolted and tension glazing systems, point-supported glazing, glass fins and structural glass systems, and cable-net and tensioned glazing systems.

- Point-supported glass envelope modeling
- Glass fins and structural glass systems
- Cable-net and tensioned glazing grids
Storefront & Window Wall BIM Services
We model storefront and window wall systems for retail, commercial, and hospitality projects, including aluminum storefront systems, window walls and punched openings, entrance systems and automatic doors, and framing and glazing details.
- Aluminum retail storefront systems
- Window walls and punched openings
- Entrance systems and automatic doors
- Framing details and glazing pockets
Facade Shop Drawings
We extract detailed shop drawings directly from the coordinated BIM model. Every drawing is derived from the model, ensuring consistency and accuracy, capturing geometry, fixings, and joint details to support precise fabrication and installation.
- Detailed curtain wall elevations
- Panel layout drawings & layouts
- Mullion and bracket details
- Glazing and sealant installation guides
- Framing connection drawings
Clash Detection & Coordination
We run clash detection between curtain wall models and structural framing, MEP systems, and interior finishes. We resolve conflicts before they reach the site, reducing RFIs and delays.
- Interference resolution with structural concrete and steel
- MEP penetration and lighting route checks
- Navisworks clash detection test reports
- Waterproofing, insulation, and flashing alignment checks
BOQ & Material Takeoff
We generate accurate quantity takeoffs and material schedules directly from the model. This supports procurement planning and cost estimation throughout the project lifecycle.
- Model-derived glass panel surface count sheets
- Transom and mullion metal length schedules
- Fastener, anchor, and bracket quantifications
- BOM estimates for bid tenders and procurement stages
Our Curtain Wall & Glazing BIM Workflow
We systematically integrate design inputs, coordinate trades, and generate shop details:
Setup & Integration
We import architectural drawings, structural models, and facade design sketches into Revit. We establish shared coordinates, levels, and grids.
Parametric Modeling
We create intelligent curtain wall elements using Revit's native tools and custom parametric families, applying specs and thermal properties.
Trade Coordination
We ensure proper integration between curtain wall elements and structural framing, MEP penetrations, and interior finishes, running Navisworks check logs.
2D Shop Documentation
We extract detailed 2D shop drawings from the model, including elevations, layout drawings, mullion and bracket details.
Quality Control Sign-off
Each stage of delivery is reviewed by our team to ensure compliance with design, performance, and regulatory requirements.
Compatible Output Formats
Every building envelope model and detail sheet is exported in industry-standard AEC formats:
