FACADE BIM MODELING
Our Facade BIM Services provide detailed and parametric 3D BIM models for building facades, ensuring accurate design coordination, fabrication readiness, and construction efficiency. Using Autodesk Revit, we develop data-driven facade models that integrate seamlessly with architecture, structure, and MEP systems while adhering to industry standards.
We work with architects, facade consultants, contractors, and fabricators to deliver clash-free, constructible facade models that support design validation, quantity estimation, and shop drawing production.
Our Facade BIM Workflow
Project Setup & Data Integration
- Import architectural drawings, point clouds (for existing buildings), and facade design sketches into Revit.
- Establish shared coordinates and worksets for collaborative modeling.
- Define levels, grids, and alignment with structural and MEP models.
Parametric 3D Facade Modeling in Revit
- Create intelligent facade elements using Revit curtain walls, panels, mullions, and adaptive components.
- Develop custom parametric families for:
- Curtain wall systems (stick-built, unitized, panelized)
- Cladding materials (glass, metal, stone, precast concrete)
- Louvers, sunshades, perforated screens
- Windows, doors, and facade-integrated systems
- Apply material specifications and performance data (thermal properties, reflectivity, etc.).
Structural & MEP Coordination
- Ensure proper integration between facade elements and structural framing (anchoring, brackets, embeds).
- Coordinate with MEP teams to accommodate:
- HVAC penetrations (louvers, vents, ducts).
- Facade lighting systems (LED strips, sensors, smart glass).
- Rainwater drainage and waterproofing details.
- Conduct clash detection using Navisworks to resolve conflicts before fabrication.
Construction-Ready 2D Documentation
- Extract detailed 2D shop drawings and fabrication details from the BIM model, including:
- Facade Elevations – Detailed representation of facade materials and components.
- Panel Layout Drawings – Numbering, sequencing, and connection details.
- Mullion & Bracket Details – Profiles, section cuts, and fixing arrangements.
- Glazing & Cladding Details – Material dimensions, installation guides.
- Schedules & Quantity Take-offs – BOQ for panels, fasteners, sealants, etc.
