CAD to BIM Conversion
Our CAD to BIM Conversion services transform traditional 2D CAD drawings into intelligent, data-rich 3D BIM models. We convert architectural, structural, and MEP designs into BIM-ready formats with precise geometry and parametric details. The resulting models are aligned with industry standards and tailored to meet specific project requirements. Our team ensures that all design elements, including annotations, layers, and dimensions, are accurately captured in the BIM environment to enable seamless project coordination and collaboration.
We assist clients in modernizing their workflows by transitioning legacy CAD designs into BIM models that enhance project visualization, coordination, and analysis. Our expertise in converting CAD files ensures accurate representation of design intent while integrating vital data for clash detection, quantity take-offs, and 4D/5D simulations. Whether you’re planning a renovation, an as-built project, or adopting BIM workflows, we deliver models that are ready for integration into larger BIM projects.
Our CAD to BIM Conversion Workflow
Data Collection & Project Setup
- Gather 2D CAD files (DWG, DXF), PDFs, sketches, and project specifications.
- Validate drawings for accuracy, missing data, and discrepancies before BIM conversion.
- Establish Revit project standards, including units, coordinate systems, levels, and worksets.
Model Development in Revit
- Convert architectural floor plans, sections, and elevations into BIM elements.
- Develop parametric Revit families for:
- Walls, doors, windows, floors, and ceilings
- Stairs, railings, and custom millwork
- Structural elements (columns, beams, foundations, trusses)
- MEP components (ducts, pipes, electrical conduits, equipment)
- Apply materials, finishes, and classification codes for enhanced project documentation.
Model Coordination & Clash Detection
- Integrate converted models with architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines.
- Perform clash detection in Navisworks to identify and resolve inconsistencies.
- Adjust model elements to ensure constructability and compliance with design intent.
Construction Documentation & Deliverables
- Extract detailed 2D construction drawings from the BIM model, including:
- Floor Plans & Elevations - Dimensioned and annotated layouts.
- Sections & Details - Cross-sectional views for construction clarity.
- Schedules & Quantity Take-Offs - Automated material calculations.
- MEP Layouts & Coordination Drawings - Clash-free integration with other disciplines.
Model Validation & Quality Assurance
- Conduct BIM audits and QA/QC checks to verify model accuracy.
- Ensure compliance with project standards (ISO 19650, AIA, LOD requirements).
- Provide a final BIM model for integration into construction and facility management workflows.
Benefits
