CAD to BIM Services
CAD Drafters’ CAD-to-BIM capabilities convert your 2D CAD drawings directly into practical, data-rich, and advanced 3D BIM models for renovations, retrofits, and modern design augmentation. We help architects, engineers, and contractors start with their legacy CAD files and convert them to BIM-ready files that digitally include complete and accurate architectural, structural, and MEP elements to your chosen Level of Development (LOD 100-500). From documenting original design intent to facilitating clash detection, coordinated documentation, and 4D/5D simulations, our CAD-to-BIM services enable better project coordination, more precise representations of the design, and significant time, cost, and rework savings, allowing you to construct with complete confidence.

Transforming 2D Drawings into Intelligent 3D Models with CAD to BIM Conversion. At CAD Drafters, we want you to embrace the future by converting your legacy CAD drawings into compliant and accurate 3D models with our CAD-to-BIM conversion service. Our step-by-step workflow enables you to convert your 2D plans, sections, and elevations into intelligent BIM models that contain data to enhance design accuracy, coordination, and construction outcomes. Here’s how we take your drawings to models:
Why do leading Architects, Engineers and Contractors select our BIM Conversion Service?
With many years of experience and hundreds of successful CAD to BIM projects, leave it to us to convert your 2D Drawings into accurate 3D BIM Models conforming to International standards using your project guidelines, whether it is a new build, renovations, or facility management project.
We produce BIM environments from legacy CAD files using industry tools and systems such as Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks – you can trust that we will capture better than accurate Architectural, Structural and MEP detail and produce parametric data, classification codes, and documentation that assists with clash detection, quantity take-offs, and re-coordination for construction activities.
Your partnership with CAD Drafters means years of experience, data migration, consistent QA/QC, and organized deliverables that lead to better coordination, fewer errors, and increased chances of delivering your projects in a timely and cost-effective manner, while enhancing your management and overall project success.
As a preferred partner for Architects, Engineers, Contractors, and Facility Managers globally, we take pride in our ability consistently to deliver on-time, communicate clearly and professionally, with a proven success rate of over 98% clients’ satisfaction record, quality, security and project delivery will always remain a priority that we value and expect in each opportunity.
CAD-to-BIM Perks That Improve Coordination and Clarity
Seamless 2D to 3D Accuracy
We convert legacy CAD drawings into fully parametric, standards-compliant BIM models with precise geometry, annotations, and options for intelligent data integration, allowing your original design intent to remain intact but also adding new layers of actionable information.
Improved Collaboration & Clash Detection
Our BIM-ready models took the architecture, structure, and MEP disciplines. They brought them together to advance cooperation, assist with early clash detection, and limit the surprises on-site (hence saved cost from potential design conflicts and rework).
Flexible, Standards-Compliant Deliverables
Deliverables range from LOD 100 to LOD 500. We create suitable BIM models integrated with global BIM standards (ISO 19650, AIA) to plug and play with your desired construction and facility management workflows, promoting the life-cycle value of your project.
CAD to BIM Samples
Greater Accuracy and Efficiency with CAD to BIM Conversion
Converting your old 2D CAD drawings into rich, intelligent BIM models offers clear, measurable advantages for all architects, engineers, contractors, and owners. At CAD Drafters, we help you evolve your workflows, maximize project visualization, collaborate with your teams, and ensure construction accuracy with fewer errors and less waste.
Better Collaboration and Clash-Free Workflows
Our CAD to BIM conversion ensures that all project participants work from a single, coordinated source of truth. Your static 2D plans become rich 3D models with embedded data, allowing you to perform early clash detection, more efficient interdisciplinary coordination, and real-time design changes. This reduces potential misunderstandings and costly on-site rework.
Data Rich Decision Making and Cost Savings
When you receive your BIM-ready model from the original 2D CAD drawings, you receive not just a 3D model but also precise quantity takeoffs, 4D schedules, and accurate cost estimates. You will now be able to make more informed decisions about your projects, limit budget overages, and manage your construction schedule more effectively. The result is a more predictable, efficient project that saves time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you convert CAD files to BIM?
We can convert nearly all 2D CAD formats, including DWG, DXF, scanned drawing images, and PDFs, into coordinated 3D BIM models.
What CAD-to-BIM software are you using?
Our base software for BIM modeling is Autodesk Revit, with source file references in AutoCAD and project-linked coordination and clash checks through Navisworks.
How do you ensure accuracy when converting CAD to BIM?
We have a solid Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) process. This means the input drawings are checked, regular audits, clash checks, and coordinated reviews with the clients are conducted once the modeling has progressed through the major phases of the project.
Can you do multi-disciplinary CAD to BIM projects?
Yes. We routinely convert architectural, structural and MEP CAD drawings into BIM models as fully coordinated design models. All three disciplines are coordinated within a single environment, resulting in a clash-free model for construction and facility lifecycle management.
What are the advantages of converting CAD drawings to BIM?
Rather than just wise decision making, you will have visualization, better coordination, automated quantity take-offs, and collaboration with your stakeholders. Upgrading CAD files to BIM reduces re-work, enhances planning and the project outcome will reflect a modern construction workflow.
